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. With new material expected from all three bands this year, The Wheels In Motion Tour promises to capture them at a pivotal moment in their evolution.

Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.
