On the heels of selling out their 24 May show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Metric have announced a supplemental show at KOKO in Camden on 23 May. This comes less than two weeks after kicking off a campaign on Spotify, which has allowed the band to engage with new fans on the service whilst also driving album downloads and ticket sales.
In a special, time-limited offer, promoted on Spotify, METRIC fans can get a 25% discount on tickets to the band’s London shows and can download the album 'Fantasies’ for just £0.99. This unique opportunity also includes a sponsored contest which has 10 VIP prize packages up for grabs - each comprising of 4 VIP tickets to the KOKO show, a personally autographed deluxe edition of 'Fantasies’ and a meet & greet with the band.
Spotify Premium subscribers can also enjoy an array of exclusive METRIC content including remixes, b sides and acoustic tracks which will be added the service throughout April and May.
A deluxe edition of METRIC’s acclaimed studio album 'Fantasies’ will also be re-released in the UK on 24 May.
Having made history in North America on the back of the unprecedented success of their self-released album campaign which propelled the band to new heights without the support of a label, METRIC are now preparing to take the UK by storm. A must-see band not to be missed METRIC have earned a fierce reputation for delivering highly-charged performances. From their raucous, high-energy moments to the softer, more melodic sessions in their set, their genre defying sound soars in a live setting.
