If a mad scientist took a bad hair day, stuck the 80s up its arse and grafted the results onto a shop mannequin, that scientist would probably not get a lot of funding and then get sectioned.

John Mayer Confirms UK Tour Dates (+Tickets)

The rock and blues performer claims the songwriter in him was born the day he went to hospital due to cardiac arrhythmia. It makes you wonder. For instance, if you shot him in the leg, would he come out of casualty a postman? Does it work that way for everyone? Could I go in with a broken toe and find that was the day the day the carpet salesman in me was born? Nah, it’s probably just him. He’s on tour. Click here for John Mayer tickets.

STEEL PANTHER Announce 2010 UK Tour Dates

If you’re called Steel Panther, your name should always be capitalized. ‘STEEL PANTHER’ Do you see? It’s just somehow right. STEEL PANTHER. It’s even more fun to type when it’s in capitals. STEEL PANTHER. Rarrgh! I’m tempted to put it in bold too, but that might be too much STEEL PANTHER for my monitor to handle. Anyway, they’re on tour. Who are? STEEL PANTHER are, that’s who. Woof.

Lady Gaga Announces UK Tour Dates & Tickets

Everyone’s favourite furniture-chewing pop harlot is back. She may appear to be trying to live up to her name and wields fashion like an offensive weapon but she gives good pop in many folk’s opinion; that’s what matters, and not that she appears to be an alumni of the Jordan school of publicity humping. The Lady is on tour. Click here for Lady Gaga tickets.

Stereophonics Add London and Glasgow Dates To 2010 Tour

The Phonics have expanded their 2010 tour like a fat bloke happily releasing his few belt notches after a big, satisfying meal… actually, it’s nothing like that, because the bloke would have to somehow add London and Glasgow to his belt due to popular demand… unless he’s named the belt holes because so many people asked him to, but that’s getting a bit silly. Right, I’d like to be clear that the Stereophonics extra dates are nothing like a fat bloke in any way. Glad we got that cleared up. Click here for tickets.

Bombay Bicycle Club Tour Dates & Tickets Announced

They don’t like their name any more apparently. It’s more exciting than ‘The Canals’ which they used to be though, plus they named themselves after a chain of Indian restaurants, so there’s a chance they’ll be getting free curry. They’re not doing too bad out of it, they’ve had to add extra dates to their tour. Click here for tickets.
