Jake Bugg Announces Debut Album Release Date And UK Tour Dates
Friday, 17 August 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Nottingham-based singer-songwriter Jake Bugg has announced that his eponymous debut album will hit shelves on October 15th - as well as unveiling a slew of live dates for 2012.
The 19 year-old folk and country star has taken the UK storm since his BBC Introducing performance at Glastonbury last year, and has earned a spot on Radio 1 playlists, supported The Stone Roses at an already legendary secret gig in London, and will be warming up for the likes of Noel Gallagher and Snow Patrol on their up and coming tours.
Support has come across the board; from the NME, Clash, The Fly, i-D, The Observer, Independent On Sunday, The Sun, and The Daily Star - but his achievements don’t stop there. To date he has had a phenomenal five Record of the Weeks on Radio 1, with massive support across the board from Zane Lowe, Fearne Cotton, Greg James and Huw Stephens. His debut TV performance on Later with Jools Holland was a special moment.
Live, Jake has a packed few months ahead of him. He’s already sold out his autumn UK tour, one which has seen him having to upgrade in size at nearly every date. You can find Jake Bugg’s UK headline tour dates below - as well as the official music video for his track ‘Taste It’.
