Fresh from opening for 30 Seconds To Mars, LA’s punk-funk collective Funeral Party kick-start the shows on 24 January, supported by Kid Adrift and Liz Lawrence. On 25 January the Next Big Thing winner at this year’s Q Awards, Clare Maguire, performs with the hotly tipped Liam Bailey and Primary 1. Night three sees rising Brit folk band Noah And The Whale previewing songs from their upcoming third album, which has a working title of Old Joy. They will be joined by Ben Howard and Alice Gold. Manchester experimental popsters Egyptian Hip Hop do the honours on 27 January, with support coming from Dutch Uncles, while The Pierces – aka New York-based sisters Catherine and Allison Pierce – close the Sessions with new Deconstruction Records signing Murray James and David Lyre.

Q’s Editor-In-Chief, Paul Rees: “I said last year that one of Q’s foremost aims moving forward was to become very actively involved in championing and staging the best new music. I’m delighted that we are now very much on the way to establishing the New To Q Sessions as an important fixture on the music calendar – and that this year’s outstanding line-up will bring an array of great music for the Q audience to discover.”
