Be it the pulsating beats on offer from D.O.D or Mad Professor, through to the gritty guitar elements of Machine Girl, Dream Wife and more, there’s a plethora of audible entertainment with tickets still available - be it through Ticketmaster, Dice.FM, or at local record stores such as Jumbo Records and Crash Records.
Here are 21 shows that caught our attention throughout the remainder of the month, and with tickets still available - for now.
