After the success of their 2013 UK tour, The Classic Rock Show is back – bigger and even better!

It's cold, it's miserable and there's an old Jamaican dude selling drugs around the corner. Just another Tuesday night in Shepherd's Bush, you might think. But tonight, something wicked lurks on the horizon. A clan of leather-clad warriors swarm around the Empire, staking their claim for an evening with Children Of Bodom.

If you’re a Future of the Left fan, then you won’t have been able to suppress a big fat grin when you heard of the band’s recent successful PledgeMusic campaign.

Back in October 2005, metalhead Gavin McInally, disenchanted by the fact that so many great bands were seemingly never booked for the UK’s major heavy music events, organised a two-stage, 15-band event at Jilly’s Rock World in Manchester. Raging Speedhorn and Entombed headlined, and a new favourite on the British metal calendar was successfully born.

Bowling For Soup use a naughty amount of 'woah woah woahs' in their music. As do Dragonforce. As do Bon Jovi. American Fangs are here to rival this group of hollering racket-makers, with their 'Pomona' EP serving up the singalong soup in plentiful loads.

For anyone impressed with the Graveltones during their time warming up for Rival Sons across the UK last spring, it's been a long, slightly anxious wait for their first full release, ‘Don’t Wait Down’.

Take That star Gary Barlow will take time out from the X Factor next year in order to tour his new solo record, ‘Since I Saw You Last’, and he’s off to a flyer. Topping this week’s Stereoboard Hot Ticket Chart, Barlow has shunted Justin Timberlake into second spot after extra dates for the American superstar’s ‘20/20 Experience’ tour went on sale.

The Osmonds, David Essex, Showaddywaddy and Bay City Rollers are teaming up for Once In A Lifetime – The Final Tour, the very last chance you'll get to see these guys in action together on one stage. Once In A Lifetime Tickets are ON SALE 9AM TODAY, Friday October 18.
