If you can hold out on GNR it is looking very, very very likely that the UK will have a stadium tour over the summer. If you're a festival goer as well they're the bookies favourites for Glasto and/or Download.
As for Glasto/Download, I can never seem to get tickets for Glasto, it just seems very hard to even come close and they're also always ridiculously expensive given that most people there don't really give a shit about music and there are in reality only about 5-8 good acts per weekend, so not overly sure I'd get a ticket to see GNR at Glasto even if I could manage to acquire one, which I don't think I can. But with Download, I would definitely go to see GNR, but blimey... the atrocity that was Download 2016, what with organisers seeming to not give a shit about security, mud or trafficking, and going as far as to actively make leaving and entering the festival even more difficult as the weekend progressed... yeah, I'd much rather go see GNR at their own stadium dates rather than have to financially support that kind of carry on again. |

Well for any fans of The Pretty Reckless, they are playing a one off gig at Scala in London on the 10th October. I managed to get tickets this morning.
Edit: Just went to grab a link to post to Scala's site and it now says sold out |

The title track from The Answer's upcoming album, Solas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0e-TbCU5tA Really rather good I must say. Very different to their previous stuff. |

It is rumoured the official announcement of Iron Maiden's 2017 UK tour for The Book Of Souls will be announced next Wednesday, 28th September.
I have heard the dates to be announced will be: Thursday 4th May: Nottingham Motorpoint Arena Monday 8th May: Manchester Arena Wednesday 10th May: Sheffield Arena Thursday 11th May: Leeds First Direct Arena Sunday 14th May: Newcastle Metro Radio Arena Tuesday 16th May: Glasgow The SSE Hydro Wednesday 17th May: Aberdeen GE Oil & Gas Arena Saturday 20th May: Liverpool Echo Arena Sunday 21st May Birmingham Barclaycard Arena Wednesday 24th May: Cardiff Motorpoint Arena Saturday 27th May: London The O2 Support will be Shinedown. They may or may not be true but Bruce did say at Download they would be doing a UK tour next May and it would be reasonable to expect an announcement soon if that were the case. |

Would love to see Maiden in Cardiff but tickets will sell out so fast it would be a miracle to get a couple.

![]() I am seeing The Dead Daisies and Lynne Jackaman at Planet Rockstock in December. I saw Lynne when she was in Saint Jude and she has a great voice. Her 4-track EP, called Jackaman, is well worth checking out. |

Planet Rock are saying the Maiden tour dates will be announced tomorrow.
Iron Maiden to announce UK tour tomorrow & unveil plans to fight touts I wonder if the announcement is early because the dates have been leaked, it will be interesting to see how accurate the leaked dates were.

Maiden are doing a night at the Dublin3 arena, I went last April to see Muse and its a great venue with easy access from all UK airports and also once you are there. In fact its easier than getting to a London gig with all the faffing about on the underground and congestion. Its only 30 mins in the air from Cardiff.
Might try it again. |

Airbourne's new album "Breaking Outta Hell" is out now!
It's a great piece of classic rock, if you've seen Airbourne live or listened to "Runnin' Wild" then you know they're a great, energetic live band, reminiscent of AC/DC on steroids, and I think this album showcases that better than any of their other albums. Do highly recommend. |

So this week's gonna be an expensive one...
As well as Iron Maiden gigs going up for pre-sale and general sale on Friday, Metallica have now announced 2 European shows, both in Copenhagen, Denmark, and these shows mark the very first performances ever in the Royal Arena. Metallica went on to confirm that as of this point in time these 2 shows are the only ones they have lined up in Europe for 2017 so far, saying that at the earliest, they won't be back until Autumn - So in other words, no Download for Metallica next year. |

Speaking of Metallica....
New song: Moth Into Flame, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iprubvCfdM For my money, it's arguably their best song since the Black album. |

Managed to get a hold of a Metallica VIP ticket for the Copenhagen show in February
![]() Here's hoping I get equally as lucky when trying to get Maiden tickets in the Live Nation pre-sale tomorrow. |

Plenty of presages then.!

I've seen Shinedown a few times before as well and they are always good live, so for the price not too bad really. |
