As promised, yet more sixth birthday celebrations for y'all - a whole tour!

This October, Drowned in Sound celebrates its sixth birthday and, in amongst all the revelry and fun, we're putting on some shows and getting involved with a few others.

When we heard that two of our favourite new bands were going on tour, we had no choice but get involved. And so, this October's DiS-sponsored tour was born.

A rotating headliner featuring the multinational blissful melodic rock of Fields (pictured; right) alongside London's endlessly danceable electo-tinged indie stalwarts GoodBooks (pictured; below-right) will be hitting a town near you at some point in October and we'll be covering it every step of the way. Tour diaries, interviews and podcasts will be bringing the tour to your screens, ears and face.

Joining the headlining pair on tour will be our favourite London troubador, Kid Harpoon.
