Nothing But Thieves are set to play a very special gig for Radio X this month.
Radio X Presents Nothing But Thieves will see the Southend-on-Sea rockers perform a headline set at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on 31st January for their lucky fans.
To celebrate the announcement, we're throwing back to the moment Conor Mason and co gifted us with a stunning rendition of Fleetwood Mac's song Dreams.
Watch it here:
Nothing But Thieves - Dreams
The performance was part of the band's stripped back-set for Radio X Presents Nothing But Thieves with Barclaycard in November 2020.
A live audience wasn't possible due to the government's lockdown restrictions, but a select few lucky Radio X competition winners were able to watch the show in full via a livestream.
From the stage of London's Clapham Grand, frontman Conor Mason announced the tune, calling the 1977 classic "one of the best songs ever written" and "schooling on how to write a song." He added: "We'll never write a song this good, so we'll cover it instead!"

- Nothing But Thieves: Futureproof inspiration was "Kanye West meets Rage Against The Machine"

A live audience was no longer possible because of to the government's lockdown restrictions, but a select few lucky Radio X competition winners were able to watch the show in full via a livestream.
The quintet - completed by Joe Langridge-Brown (guitar), Dominic Craik (guitar and keyboards), Phillip Blake (bass) and James Price (drums) - began the show with "a very special stripped back version of our set," as Conor put it, before moving on to full electric versions of tracks like Impossible and Is Everybody Going Crazy?
"It's just lovely for us to get out of the house and play some tunes." said frontman Conor Mason jubilantly.
Now things have returned to normal, fans can get in on the action with Nothing But Thieves returning to the Radio X Presents stage in front of their beloved fans.
