Week 50
MTV2’s Spanking New Music Tour Saturday 9th December, 2:30-4:30pm
2:30-4pm: Gonzo – Spanking New Gonzo Special
4-4:30pm: Wolfmother – MTV Live
The Stage is set for another live music spectacular as highlights from the Spanking New Music Tour premieres on Saturday 9th December, exclusive to MTV2.
For the first time in its four year history, the MTV2 live acts that featured in April's Spanking New Music Week received an extra level of exposure with a second touring experience in November.
Bringing Spanking New music to the masses and showcasing live talent at its very best, the Spanking New Music Tour encompassed seven major cities across the UK & Ireland.
After their outstanding Spanking New live sets in Birmingham earlier this year, music from ¡Forward Russia! , Fields and headline act, Wolfmother light up the stage. Described by their own website as “a rock ’n’ roll wet dream”, and reinforced by NME’s testimony, “they’re the real deal”, Wolfmother have set music pages alight since they stormed into the UK with their debut album last year.
Joining Wolfmother, ¡Forward Russia! and Fields, will be one of the UK’s most hotly tipped bands for 2006, The Maccabees. Firm favourites of MTV2, the band will play to some of their biggest audiences yet on the Spanking New Music Tour.
MTV2 continue to regularly playlist the bands material and are excited to offer a platform to unleash their sound to audiences throughout the UK & Ireland.
MTV’s Spanking New Music Week is fast becoming the opportunity for music fans to catch bands and solo artists before they break into the mainstream. The Kooks, Editors, Kasabian, Mystery Jets and Bloc Party are just a few examples of artists who have went on to carve out significant successes.
