On This Day

Welcome to The Riff Report On This Day – turning back the calendar to revisit the albums, gigs, festivals and unforgettable moments that shaped rock and metal history. 📅🎸🔥🤘

Every date has a story.

We'll explore classic album releases, legendary concerts, iconic singles, band formations, historic festival performances, birthdays, career milestones and those wonderfully strange moments that became part of music folklore.

From events that changed rock forever to forgotten stories deserving another look, we'll travel through the decades celebrating the people and music that made everything considerably louder.

Being proudly Welsh, we'll also dig into Welsh music history, remembering the artists, venues, festivals and landmark moments that helped Cymru make its mark on the world. 🐉

Some stories will take us back fifty years. Others might have happened only a few years ago.

Either way, it's time to rewind.

Albums. Gigs. Birthdays. Festivals. History. Riffs.

Welcome to The Riff Report On This Day – 365 days of rock ’n’ roll history. 📅🎸🔥🤘
