Scottish titans Biffy Clyro areknown for delivering seminal modern rock albums and bagging previous Q Awards such as Best Album and more recently frontman Simon Neil was honoured at the Q Awards 2018 with the inaugural Fender Play Award. 2019 has thus far seen the band enjoy highlights including headlining Isle Of Wight festival and releasing their first soundtrack for British Indie film Balance, Not Symmetry to critical acclaim.
Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro frontman, commented:
“We are delighted to announce we will be playing one of Q’s legendary awards shows. And to return to the iconic Roundhouse – where we recorded MTV Unplugged in 2017 – just makes it even more special for us. It’s gonna be a lot messier this time though! Hail Satan!”
Tickets to attend the pre-awards gig night on 15 October with Biffy Clyro are available for pre-sale to Q subscribers, Roundhouse Members and Biffy Clyro mailing list recipients on 31 July and general sale on 2 August via www.Qthemusic.com.

Ted Kessler, Editor of Q Magazine, commented:
“We are all thrilled that a band of the size and stature of Biffy Clyro will be playing the pre-awards gig. To have a group more used to headlining arenas and stadiums cosying up to the crowd at the Roundhouse is an extremely rare treat and we can’t wait. I’m also madly excited about our line-up for the gig after the Q Awards themselves on the evening of October 16, but we’ll have to keep that one up our sleeves for a little longer. In the meantime, Mon The Biff!”
The Q Awards, in association with Absolute Radio, exclusive pre-awards gig with Biffy Clyro, will take place on Tuesday 15 October 2019 at Camden’s Roundhouse.
