You Me At Six singer Josh to lobby ticket tout bill at the House Of Commons

• 15th Nov 2016

The You Me At Six frontman will give evidence at the House of Commons today (November 15th) as part of a one-off session held by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, which aims to pass through parliament an amendment to the Digital Economy Bill to stop the use of digital purchasing software by ticket touts. The session, which will consider a range of issues on the topic, will be available online at www.parliamentlive.tv.

Josh is the only musician taking part in the campaign and is very passionate about the cause, he adds “We are fighting the battle for fair prices for live music fans. Every artist’s touring career is built on the passion and support of their fanbase. For those true supporters to be ripped off by secondary sites and being charged double, treble the face value for the right to see their favorite artists is unacceptable”

You Me At Six have recently been making waves with new single ‘Night People’, which recently spent 7 weeks on the BBC Radio 1 playlist and has been streamed over three millions times to date.

Their highly anticipated fifth studio album Night People is due for release January 13th 2017 through Infectious Music. The album will help to cement their status as one of the most important rock bands to emerge from the UK. It was recorded in Nashville at Black Bird Studios with Grammy award-winning producer Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, James Bay) and mixed by Andrew Scheps (Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chilli Peppers).
