The Jacques, The Sukis & Pistol Daisys Unite For ‘The Wheels In Motion Tour’ This September

Curated by Motion Talent, the tour is built around a simple but enduring idea: getting back to grassroots touring and bringing live music directly to fans in intimate venues across the UK. With affordable ticket prices and a focus on independent spaces, the run aims to spotlight emerging artists while supporting the country’s vital live music circuit.

Each band brings a distinct sonic identity to the bill. The Jacques, a London-via-Bristol trio, have earned a reputation as relentless road warriors, blending mutant punk, psychedelic grunge and indie rock into a chaotic, high-energy live experience. Having shared stages with Public Image Ltd and played major festivals, they continue to build momentum through sheer grit and touring spirit.

Liverpool’s The Sukis add a sharp-edged alternative rock punch, pairing explosive performances with lyrics that dissect the realities of youth. Meanwhile, Glasgow trio Pistol Daisys inject a vibrant alt-pop energy, fusing confessional songwriting with dancefloor-ready hooks, creating a sound that’s both emotionally raw and instantly infectious.

Together, the three acts represent a cross-section of the UK’s rising underground, united by a shared drive to take their music directly to audiences.

At The Circuit in Kingston, the singer-songwriter is close enough to her audience to make eye contact with people in the front row, close enough to laugh with them and, crucially, close enough for the nerves of the evening to be impossible to disguise.

Carly Rae Jepsen is set to enter a new era with Day And Night, an upcoming album that finds the Canadian pop star exploring two distinct but interconnected sides of her musical personality.
