E4’s hit comedy drama series Skins is rolling up and rolling out to the best music joints across the U.K. for a string of exclusive showcases to celebrate the launch of the second series in February. Not only will they be premiering the eagerly anticipated first episode of the new series at each event but in true Skins style, they’ll be throwing some deeply decadent parties, featuring live sets from the glitterati of the indie, electro and nu rave scenes. These highly coveted tickets will be free and available on a first come first served basis from 17^th January through E4.com, Myspace.com and Bebo.com.

 

One of the most innovative and discerning teen drama series to have ever hit UK TV screens, Skins’ series one took the world and suburbs by storm, pioneering cross-platform broadcasting across E4 and Channel 4, and capturing the public’s imagination with its taste making soundtrack and risqué content. With the end of the first series’ cliff-hanger and speculation over the fate of Tony (Nicholas Hoult) reaching fever-pitch, these special screenings offer the rare chance for fans to be amongst the first to catch the premier of series two before the series hits E4 in February.  And after every screening there is an official Skins after party where fans get to bounce around to some of the UK’s filthiest and most raucous artists.

 

Kicking off the official tour on February 1st is Liverpool’s Barfly then pressing onto the fog at Tyne of Newcastle’s retro Old Fire Station, over to Glasgow’s mouth watering Fruit Market, then Birmingham’s iconic Custard Factory, onto Bristol’s Maverick Motion Park and pillaging onto the final slot in the big smoke of London to The Shepherd’s Bush Pavillion. Each gig will feature its own unique line up of the crème de la crème of the music scene with Mylo, Maximo Park, Crystal Castles, New Young Pony Club, The Metros and Late Of The Pier amongst many others.

 

Giving something back to the hardcore fans, tickets will be free of charge and will be exclusively available online through E4.com, Myspace and Bebo from 17^th January. Making every effort to ensure they are not resold, tickets will be sent as an SMS straight to the successful applicants’ phone and redeemable at the door where ID will be required.  All events are strictly over 18s only.
