Topman to sponsor the NME New Noise Tour 2008

PRLog (Press Release) – May 22, 2008 – Topman, a British based leader in cutting edge mens fashion is solidifying its links with the music industry by sponsoring the NME New Noise Tour 2008.

Topman (http://www.topman.com/ ) has a reputation for supporting the best of young British talent both in the music and fashion industries, and keen to show its grassroots involvement, the mens clothing (http://www.topman.com/ ) retailer is taking part in the promotion of the NME New Noise Tour.

Topman should already be familiar to NME readers, selling a diverse range of clothing similar to the wear of the magazine’s featured artists, from the modern mens leather jackets (http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category ... ) of The Kills, to mens cardigans (http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category ... ) as favoured by recent Mercury Award winners The Klaxons.

The New Noise Tour, formerly the NME New Music Tour, has been used since its inception in 2005 as a showcase for relatively unknown bands to gain more mainstream exposure.  The annual tour has previously included artists like The Towers of London, The Rakes and The Rumble Strips.  

This year’s bill features electro-clash duo Crystal Castles, supported by post-punk bands Friendly Fires and White Lies, playing 11 dates across the UK throughout May.  Previous years’ attendance figures indicate that the tour is likely to sell out quickly, so for those unable to get a hold of tickets, Topman will be running a competition to win free tickets from its website.  To coincide with the tour power-pop sensation Team Waterpolo will also be providing in-store DJ sets at selected stores across the country.
