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.

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.
