My Chemical Romance, are primed and ready to blast open the 2011 Shockwaves NME Awards at 02 Academy Brixton in style. As the most respected music brand in the world, it seems only fitting that NME has secured one of the planet’s biggest acts to kick start and electrify the renowned annual music event.
The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, February 23rd – gathering the best new bands, returning icons and the most influential legends to celebrate the most credible music awards in the world. Dave Grohl will be picking up his NME Godlike Genius award and will also be playing live with Foo Fighters at the event. Tickets for the event go on sale at 9am on Wednesday 26th January.
My Chemical Romance have been nominated for four awards themselves (Best International Band, Best Album, Best Album Artwork and Best Video for ‘Na Na Na’) while lead singer Gerard Way has made the shortlist for NME’s Hero of the Year.
The last time My Chemical Romance opened a show in the UK was at Wembley stadium (October 2010) before an NFL game that was watched by millions across the globe.
NME editor Krissi Murison says: “We’re absolutely delighted to have My Chemical Romance opening the show this year. With their biggest ever UK arena tour coming just before our ceremony, it will probably seem like an intimate gig when the band play the O2 Academy Brixton for NME. I hope some of their fans can join us to for what promises to be a very special moment.”
