Want to see the NME Award winners on tour? Check out our list of who's on tour or appearing at festivals this year, and where you can see them for yourself in the live arena soon.

FKA Twigs 

WINNER: Best British Solo Act

Queen of the avant-garde, FKA Twigs was nominated for an impressive four awards. Since 2014 she’s been given countless nods in the music industry, nominated then for the BBC Music Sound of 2014 award following the release of her critically-acclaimed debut ‘LP1’, she returned last year with the equally adored ‘Magdalene’. Her last shows in the UK, in support of the record, sold out in an instant. In 2020, you can see her for yourself at Lovebox festival, taking place in June at London’s Gunnersbury Park.

Foals 

WINNER: Best Live Act

2019 was a massive year for Foals, having released two critically acclaimed albums. 2019 saw the band achieve their first UK number one album, two sell-out headline shows at London’s Alexandra Palace, an explosive secret set at Glastonbury, their first documentary on Amazon Prime, and so much more. So what better way to round-off and celebrate these achievements than with three NME nominations - and now a win! The band are going back on the road in 2020 with limited availability. Book now to secure your tickets!

Little Simz

WINNER: Best British Album

At only 24 years old she has already released two critically acclaimed and award-winning albums independently, toured the world and has received praise from her musical peers and inspirations including the likes of Kendrick Lamar. Simbi Ajikawo, a.ka. Little Simz, moves genuinely between hip-hop, r'n'b, jazz and soul beats with a philosophical, curious and yet self-assured expression. You can catch the NME Award winner perform live at Lovebox Festival and TRNSMT 2020 this summer.

Billie Eilish

WINNER: Best Song in the World

She is officially the first artist born this millennium to achieve both a number one album and single, and is now the third female solo artist in history with multiple songs topping the Billboard Alternative Songs airplay chart!
