The Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Big Pink and The Drums are set to head out on the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2010, NME.COM can announce.
The four bands will comprise next year's line-up, with the 14-date run kicking off on February 4 at the Newcastle O2 Academy and wrapping up at the O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 20.
The Maccabees' Felix White told NME.COM that he was looking forward to heading up the tour, having been a regular at past NME Awards tours.
"I remember me and Hugo [White, guitarist], went to the Bloc Party, Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs tour [in 2005, which also featured The Killers]," he said. "We were like, 'Shit, that's how it's done'.
"I remember being ridiculously excited about The Futureheads. That was a time when the possibility of what you could do with your mates and guitars, realising how you did that and it being achievable, became real. Those tours put that in front of you."
