There are just a few Upper Tier tickets left for each of the forthcoming Manchester shows, supported by Tegan and Sara, priced from £32.50 upwards. Belfast and Dublin are sold out, apart from some Premium tickets.


Kaiser Chiefs

Armed with all their hits from "Souvenir", the Kaisers return to the road for another journey from Monday night onwards. Many shows are selling out but Glasgow, Manchester, Preston and a few more still have tickets for £25.

Example

There are still plenty of tickets left for Example's next UK tour which will air his recent Top 20 album "The Evolution of Man". Support comes from Benga and Sway and tickets cost around the £25 mark.


Justin Bieber

Joining the pop pipsqueak for this tour will be Carly Rae Jepsen and Cody Simpson, with tickets not too tricky to pick up this time around. Birmingham and London have the best picks (from £50 upwards), Manchester has limited tier seats.

I am Kloot

The Manchester outfit have recently announced another 2013 tour in response to their recent Top 10 album, "Let It All In". They'll return in April for dates in Middlesbrough, Edinburgh, Holmfirth and more, all costing £17.50.

Ocean Colour Scene

They're back with more "Moseley Shoals" action along with material from the new album "Painting". Tickets have flown out for most of these shows, but you can still attend Dublin, Glasgow (22nd only) and London (26th/27th only).

Calexico

For a night of Mariachi and roots-style partying, look no further than the excellent Calexico. They're on a short tour from Thursday in Dublin, before heading to Glasgow on Friday, then more until Brighton on the 19th. From £15.

Justin Currie

Del Amitri's songwriting talent is out and about from Friday evening - he'll start his tour in Stamford and continue to Newbury, Leeds, Bridport, Bath and Sheffield. All other shows have sold out, but the aforementioned can be purchased for £20 upwards.

Cosmo Jarvis

One of the UK's most under-rated songwriters is out on tour next week, including shows in Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, London and many more. His tickets are cheap at under a tenner and his last show is in Leicester on 1st March.
