Priority Music Highlights - 22th February Onwards

[RafaC]

Hello everybody!

Let's check out the artists featured on the O2 Priority website this week 🥁

At the top of the list we have 🌴Jungle🌴.These London blokes have been making thousands of people dance and groove for a quite a while now. Not only they create great music and are brilliant live, but they also produce amazing videos. One of the members usually direct their videos, and they are all superb. Since I couldn't pick only one to feature on this post, I'll leave you with a full recent live performance in an unusual location, the Paris metro:

If you want to check their aforementioned music videos, they are all available on their Apple Music artist page.

They are going to be performing at Crystal Palace Park, not far from where they formed the band (Shepherd's Bush). Pre-sale of the tickets ends tomorrow at 10:00am. 

Next we have the indie heroes Modest Mouse who are coming all the way from Portland, Oregon, USA to play at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. They are not unfamiliar with the British accent though, as no one less than the legendary Mancunian guitarist Johnny Marr was a member of the band from 2006 to 2009.   

Here's Mr. Marr playing along with them across the pond:

If you feel like getting to know these dudes' catalogue better, you can start by listening to the Essentials playlist curated by Apple Music.

Tickets  for the gig are going to be available tomorrow from 10:00am.

Since we've already mentioned a Mancunian legend on this post, why not giving a shout out to a Salford lad? The alternative rock champion Tim Burgess is performing at the O2 Ritz Manchester in November.

Here's him performing a few solo songs and a different arrangement for The Charlatans classic 'The Only One I Know' on last year's NME Home Sessions:

If you want to check more of Tim's solo work, you can do it here. 

Tickets are available tomorrow.

As there are some many options of shows on Priority, and artists from so many different genres, it's actually very hard to pick just three of them to highlight here on the community. Hope that you guys have discovered or rediscovered an artist or band; or have found out about the gig of an artist you already love in this post! Please leave your comment if you enjoyed any of the songs shared above

Awesome, @RafaC. I also quite enjoyed Tim Burgess' Listening Parties on Twitter during lockdown. But, if you followed him on there, it could get quite spammy. Could be a good topic idea for the community 👀🎵🎧!?

Glad you liked @lewys-gp! Good shout about the Tim Burgess' Listening Parties, they became quite big at some point didn't they? And I like that idea of yours  👀
