2:54 Announce headline UK tour in the autumn Music News by Editor - August 31, 20120 One of the brealthrough bands of the year, 2:54 (sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow), have announced their first UK headline tour following the release of their self-titled debut album in May. Beginning at the end of October and continuing through November, taking in dates all across the country, including a London show of XOYO, it represents the band’s most extensive UK run to date.

This tour also follows the release of their latest single ‘Sugar’ in September, and will represent a rounding-up of what’s been a momentous 2012.
