From Glasgow to Brighton, via Newcastle, Leeds Birmingham and Bristol, the inaugural DIY Now&Next tour demonstrated the strength of the DIY (media/marketing) and Kilimanjaro (promoter/ticketing/local representatives) partnership which received overwhelming response against a backdrop of economic uncertainty with completely sold out shows in key venues.

As with all DIY events we bring something new and unconventional to support artists as part of our long term career development relationship with them. Lynks (DIY Class of 2021) without doubt is an artist very much of “Now” was supported by DIY Class of 2023 band – Vlure – very much the “Next” to watch out for as they take 2023 by storm. Each venue had a locla artist as first on to give them the opportunity to play to new fans and get exposure across DIY’s multiple platforms.

The tour was also an opportunity to reconnect with DIY’s own following across the UK, being the first event outside of London since the pandemic; and they certainly came out in force!
