The hottest punk acts will be sweeping through the UK as part of the Give It A Name Introduces tour.
The Swellers, Anarbor, The Dangerous Summer, Rio and The Wild will be wowing audiences from Stoke to London between 26 April and 6 May.
You can get a taste of what you can expect from The Dangerous Summer's set from the clip below.
Fresh from recording what is sure to be a blistering debut album, Young Guns will hit the road in April and May.
Having heard snippets of the band's latest tracks during a recent studio visit, we can confirm these are a band well worth checking out.
OK, so with four albums under their belts these are hardly new guys, but they are criminally underlooked and a must see in May.
Their 15-date tour gets underway in Carlisle on 2 May, culminating in appearances at the Glade and 2000tress festivals in July.
Atticus Black Tour
Rivalling Give It A Name Introduces for the month's finest showcase of upcoming talent is the Atticus Black Tour, which this year features Ten Second Epic, Cars On Fire and Blitz Kids.
The frenetic, Buddy Rich-inspired drumming of Blitz Kids' Eddie Hawx is reason enough to book your ticket right now.
