The A.M.C Grassroots Energy tour has seven UK dates left. It starts with a double header in Exeter and Plymouth on Friday 13 November and ends at Thirty3Hz in Guildford on 18 December. Southampton has sold out. Every other remaining date was still on sale when we checked on 3 November, with tickets from £9.23 in Cardiff.
The run is made with Save Our Scene, the campaign group for UK grassroots music. A.M.C is playing small clubs and working with the local promoters who run them. According to the tour notes, 175 UK towns and cities lost access to regular touring acts last year. So the idea is to bring drum & bass back to those rooms at low prices, with local DJs on the bill.

Some listings still put Kettering on Wednesday 4 November. The Skiddle ticket page has it on Friday 4 December, so go with that. The Sheffield date at Tank on 6 November has been cancelled, and its Skiddle page lists it that way.
Exeter and Plymouth on the same night
Friday 13 November is the busiest night of the run. In Exeter, Long Dark Tunnel and Move host A.M.C and MC Phantom. GINO, Collateral Soundz and Milky & Kisha support. Move runs 10pm to 3am on a Funktion-One Evolution rig. FIXR has pre-sale tickets at £12.50 plus fees, and Skiddle has second release at £15.
The same night, The Depo on Union Street in Plymouth has A.M.C and Phantom with Charlie Tee, Titan and Siren. It’s 10pm to 4am, with last entry at 11.30pm. Entry-before-10.30pm tickets are £10, and standard tickets are £15. The ticket page doesn’t list an age limit, so bring ID.
Southampton, Kettering and Norwich
Suburbia in Southampton holds 200, and both ticket tiers (£10 and £12.50) have gone. Skiddle is running a waiting list for the night, which goes from 11pm to 4am.
Kettering’s date is at Bar Seven on Carrington Street, run by Selecta with local DJs on the bill. Doors are at 9pm and last entry is midnight. Second release is £12.50, with a £15 final tier behind it.
In Norwich, Touchbase has A.M.C and Phantom at Gonzo’s Tea Room, with an Origin Events takeover and JC1. Only 200 tickets were released. The venue’s own allocation is gone, but Touchbase still had its final release at £15 when we checked.
Cardiff and Guildford in December
Bassmaxx brings the tour to District in Cardiff on Saturday 12 December, with Charlie Tee on the line-up. It runs 10pm to 4am, and DICE lists tickets from £9.23 including fees.
Thirty3Hz on Park Street in Guildford closes the year on Friday 18 December. Every early tier has sold out, so the final release is £22, with entry by 1am. Doors are at 10pm.
Earlier dates went to Unit Nine in Milton Keynes in September. Motion Sickness then hosted him at Worldheadquarters in Newcastle on 16 October. Next March he’s on the Hospitality Weekender 2027 line-up at Butlin’s Bognor Regis.
