The Skiddle Gig List: Upcoming gigs and tours across the UK

Well done, we survived January! Some of you without even drinking which is rather impressive. But, now we're well into the year, why not look ahead for what 2024 has to offer and secure yourself some tickets to see some incredible live music? But you may be asking, who is touring, where are they playing, where can I get tickets? (on Skiddle, duh).

Well, you don't have to worry about any of that, as Skiddle is here with our February edition of the Gig List, where we scour our gig directory and pull out some of the very best gigs happening in the coming weeks and months with tickets still available. 

There are huge shows from classic acts and icons like Grace Jones, The Orb, and The Jesus and Mary Chain; awesome intimate album launch shows from Yard Act and Nadine Shah; and some of the coolest rappers in the game, like The Pharcyde and Sonnyjim, heading out on UK tours. So scroll down and take a look at the latest edition of the Skiddle Gig List below and make sure to secure your tickets before they sell out!
