![Wolf Alice and Gengahr (supporting Alt-J): With both brilliant acts supporting Alt-J for their one-off O2 Arena show in London on 24 January, it's important that you pay particular attention to Wolf Alice. As our reviewer put it after their Heaven show last month:]()
Wolf Alice and Gengahr (supporting Alt-J): With both brilliant acts supporting Alt-J for their one-off O2 Arena show in London on 24 January, it's important that you pay particular attention to Wolf Alice. As our reviewer put it after their Heaven show last month: "Wolf Alice deserve to be massive. They want it, we want it. It's only a matter of time."
![Wild Beasts (supporting The National): On the final night of The National's Trouble Will Find Me tour, again at London's O2 Arena on 26 November, Wild Beasts will be offering their very welcome support. Hayden Thorpe's slick falsetto and the entire band's evocations of pure bliss when they play live make this a gig not to turn up late for.]()

![Johnny Marr + Paul Weller (supporting The Who): We never thought we'd be describing either Paul Weller or Johnny Marr as a 'support act', but we suppose when it comes to The Who, the world is a support act. We don't really need to explain why this is a brilliant line-up.]()

![Black Rivers (supporting Noel Gallagher): Doves members Andy and Jez Williams are now Black Rivers, and perform spacy, Bowie-esque psychedelia melded with electronica. The recent session they played for us in our local pub was one of the most original acoustic sessions we've ever commissioned.]()

![Southern (supporting Hudson Taylor): If there was such a thing, Southern would be crowned king and queen of the support slot this year, having toured with Bastille, Jake Bugg and Catfish & The Bottlemen... and things look set next to continue in this vein with next year's Hudson Taylor shows. If there's any justice though, this could be one of your last chances to catch the pych-blues-rock-pop band before they start headlining their own tours.]()

![Anna Calvi (Morrissey): There's a lot of hype around Morrissey's London O2 Arena show at the end of this month, after he cancelled his entire US tour earlier this year due to illness. But if nostalgic Smiths fans in attendance are willing to cast their nets a little wider, they'll find an enigmatic, powerful live presence in Anna Calvi.]()
