The ''NME'' Tours consist of a variety of tours organised by British music industry publication ''NME''. Throughout the year, ''NME'' sponsors numerous tours of the United Kingdom by various up-and-coming and established bands in a variety of formats. The tours are titled to reflect the genre and type of bands playing on them. ==ShockWaves NME Awards Tours== The ShockWaves NME Awards Tours (known without sponsorship as the NME Awards Tour before 1999, and the Brat Bus Tour before 1998) normally takes place in the lead up to the official NME Awards themselves. The tour has been known to sell out in just a matter of hours. The tour normally showcasts the main protagonists of the independent alternative rock scene, with a number of relatively unheard of bands usually supporting more mainstream acts. A number of previous support acts on the tour have gone on to become very successful commercially, such as Arctic Monkeys (support act in 2006) and Franz Ferdinand (who played the opening slot in 2004). Since 2005, the tour has been sponsored by unisex hair product company ShockWaves. In 2007, the main NME Awards tour was split into two different tours of four bands each. The first tour, the ShockWaves NME Indie Rock Tour was created to reflect the growing indie rock scene in Britain throughout 2006-2007. The second tour, the ShockWaves NME Indie Rave Tour, displays the small number of bands currently associated with the New Rave music genre. ''NME'' editor Conor McNicholas stated that the reason for the tour split was to allow more fans to gain tickets to the Awards tour, and allow them to display more bands at the one time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NME ANNOUNCES DOUBLE SHOCKWAVES NME AWARDS TOURS 2007 )〕 The tours were played in a number of intertwined dates at the same time. This format was kept for one year, before reverting to one tour in 2008. *2016: Bloc Party, Drenge , Ratboy, Bugzy Malone *2015: Palma Violets, Fat White Family, Slaves (UK band), The Wytches *2014: Interpol, Temples, Royal Blood, Circa Waves *2013: Django Django, Miles Kane, Palma Violets, Peace *2012: Two Door Cinema Club, Metronomy, Tribes, Azealia Banks *2011: Crystal Castles, Magnetic Man, Everything Everything, The Vaccines *2010: The Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Big Pink, The Drums *2009: Glasvegas, Friendly Fires, White Lies, Florence and the Machine〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2009 line-up revealed )〕 *2008: The Cribs, Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, The Ting Tings *2007: * *ShockWaves NME Indie Rock Tour: The Automatic, The View, The Horrors, Mumm-Ra * *ShockWaves NME Indie Rave Tour: Klaxons, CSS, The Sunshine Underground, New Young Pony Club〔 *2006: Maxïmo Park, Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, Mystery Jets 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NME Tours」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
