Everyone loves an indie disco. What’s better than dancing to the likes of ‘Mr Brightside’ or ‘Last Nite’ with your mates and a room full of like-minded strangers? Not a whole lot, really, apart from perhaps adding some of the people who made the tunes blasting around sticky indie clubs into the mix.
The VO5 NME Awards Road Trip with Propaganda does just that, taking the likes of The Vaccines, Bastille, The Amazons, Frank Turner, and Idles around the country to entertain revellers not with their own songs, but with DJ sets filled with other people’s bangers. Check all the action from the awesome trek below.
