Shockwaves NME Awards Tour Big Gig Featuring THE CURE

The Cure will celebrate being crowned NME Godlike Geniuses by headlining the annual show at the O2 Arena in London.

The Shockwaves NME Awards Big Gig 2009 takes place at the venue on February 26.

As with last year - which saw Godlike Geniuses Manic Street Preachers headline, with Kaiser Chiefs, Klaxons, Bloc Party, The Cribs and Johnny Marr also playing – this year's show will also feature a full bill, which is to be announced soon.

Tickets are priced at £30 plus booking and transaction fees.
