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

Puma Blue

When: Tuesday 26th September 2023

Where: Canvas in Manchester

Seductive and hypnotic, London Puma Blue is a truly underappreciated artist whose raw and compelling lo-fi RnB is equal parts beautiful and tortured. Canvas is a truly excellent venue to be seeing him in when he makes his way up north on this tour too, and we simply can't wait to open our ears to his fragile soul. A true modern RnB artist for the connoisseurs, make sure to be there for this one all-you Mancuinan RnB lovers.

Tom Clarke (The Enemy)

When: Friday 29th September 2023

Where: Keele SU Building in Newcastle-under-Lyme

The Enemy are arguably one of the most underrated bands of their era. With huge tunes that always have a working-class edge and a council estate charm to them, they are so vastly underappreciated outside indie circles that we feel it borders on the criminal. Anyways, their lead singer, Tom Clarke, is heading out on tour, performing some of the biggest hits from the band live and acoustic. This is one for the true fans of the band who want to hear the songs in a different light. It's going to be a belter of a night that we're sure will cause some aggro.
