As 2023 begins to draw to a close, we at Gigantic Tickets can't help but think of all the amazing acts we've discovered this year. We've seen some of our favourite up and comers become festival staples in 2023, and we've watched new bands and artists take to grassroots venues to become firm favourites in our live calendars.
So, we're looking ahead to next year, which is bound to be another banner year for the live music scene in the UK. Take a peek at some of our Ones to Watch for 2024; we expect these artists are going to become rising stars over the next 12 months and we're urging you to see them before they hit the big time! Tickets for all these acts, and more, on sale now with Gigantic.
