eurydice by Cate Blanche February 21st, 2011

The JD set is one of the most anticipated events on the music calendar and has been creating moments of music history for almost ten years, having featured some of the biggest names and most critically-acclaimed acts in UK music. Artists from Elbow to The Wombats, The Joy Formidable to Editors have all rocked The JD Set stage.

This year The JD Set continues the tradition of unforgettable gigs with the announcement of 3 legendary headliners - Tim Wheeler, Sharleen Spiteri & Mani - performing their interpretations of classic albums from the likes of Pixies, The Smiths and David Bowie.

Taking songs from across the band's five albums, Tim will be joined by Emmy The Great, And So I Watch You From Afar, Ma Mentor and The Crookes. We'll even shout you a cab ride to the gig.

The rehearsals take place in East London on 23rd-25th February, and the London JD Set show is on 24th March at XOYO.
