New On Skiddle: Andy C, Chase & Status , Boxstar with Tom Zanetti & more

The end of summer is nigh and yet it already feels like we're well into the autumn... Menacing clouds have replaced the once clear blue skies and the rain looks likely to stick around. BIG sigh. But when has the predictable English weather ever stopped us Brit's from heading out to see live music? Answer - Never! 

So unwavering is our passion for music - be it hard-dance, smooth jazz or heavy metal - that we'll literally face all of the elements just to see our favourite artists! All the while displaying the biggest of smiles and exuding the happiest of vibes! It's what we do best! 

To the unexpected downpours, the galeforce winds and the waterlogged fields at festivals UK wide, we say jog on! It's time to grab your wellies, your brollies and your gore-tex gear, and start securing your place at one of the many excellent upcoming live events with tickets on sale with Skiddle.

Check out the best and most recently added events on this week's New On Skiddle, below. Whatever it is you're into, there's bound to be something here that'll tickle your pickle.
