(And Is It Basically A Giant Gaming PC In The Desert?) 🤘💻🌵 Right then, butt. Let’s talk about the giant glowing sci-fi eyeball parked in Nevada. We’re on about the absolutely unhinged spectacle that is the Sphere — that 366-foot LED moon that looks like it crash-landed after binge-watching Blade Runner and drinking three cans […]

Right then, butt… we need to talk about Uncle Neil. Out of absolutely nowhere last month, Neil Young and his band Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts pulled the plug on their entire UK and European tour. Seven summer shows here. Gone. Europe? Gone. Just 10 weeks after the announcement. Poof. Vanished like a pint […]

If your September and October 2026 were looking a bit calm… forget it. Tear up the diary. Cancel the quiet nights in. Warn the neighbours. Because The HU are charging back into the UK & Ireland for a 10-show tour, and it’s about to feel less like a gig and more like a full-blown cavalry […]

Well then. That escalated quicker than a circle pit at 9:01pm. BrewDog has closed all 60 of its UK pubs for the day while “crisis talks” take place amid reports of a potential sale. Every. Single. One. From Camden to Cardiff, shutters down, taps dry, neon still glowing but nobody home. If you’ve ever necked […]

Manchester, 1991. A young lad called Noel Gallagher is flicking through an Inspiral Carpets tour poster and spots a venue listed as “The Oasis Leisure Centre.” And just like that… rock ‘n’ roll history is born. Fast forward to 2026 and the actual waterpark that inspired one of Britain’s biggest ever bands now sits abandoned, […]

Well tidy then… because this was NOT on the pop culture bingo card. At the 2026 BRIT Awards, the ultimate showman himself, Robbie Williams, marched onto that polished, glitzy stage and decided, “You know what this needs? A slab of heavy metal.” And not just any metal. He delivered a full-blooded, goosebump-inducing rendition of “No […]

Well then… this is not something we had on our 2026 bingo card, mun. The Masked Singer US is turning the distortion up to eleven with a full-blown “Ozzfest Night” episode airing Wednesday 4 March 2026 – all in honour of the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. Yes. Prime-time American telly. Glittery costumes. Giant singing […]

Right then, butt. Gather round. The BRIT Awards have officially honoured the one, the only, the bat-chomping, riff-commanding legend himself — Ozzy Osbourne — and honestly? It’s about bloody time. 🏆🦇 We’re talking about the man who helped invent heavy metal in a gloomy Birmingham rehearsal room and somehow turned it into a global religion […]

Some things in life just fit, butt. Tea and biscuits.Welsh rain and festival mud.And Bloodstock Open Air standing shoulder to shoulder with The Sophie Lancaster Foundation. This isn’t a sponsorship.This isn’t a PR tick-box. This is metal looking after its own. 🖤 🎸 The Sophie Lancaster Stage – Where Riffs Carry Meaning Let’s start with […]

New month, same madness — pint in one hand, horns in the other, butt 🤘🍻 March has rolled in like a double-kick drum to the chest 💥The weather’s still doing its usual “four seasons in one day” routine 🌧️🌤️🌪️ — but inside the venues? It’s all sweat, riffs, and absolute scenes. Wales is once again […]

March is when winter finally starts packing its bags. The days get longer, festival posters start dropping, and somewhere in the distance you can almost hear the rumble of festival bass bins waking up again. But before we all disappear into muddy fields and beer queues, March gives us a cracking excuse to celebrate something […]

Right then, you glorious riff goblins — strap in. Former Skid Row frontman and Swedish vocal powerhouse Erik Grönwall has announced his brand new solo album Bad Bones, and it’s already being described as “fearless, personal, and uncompromising.” Translation? This isn’t background music for folding laundry.This is chest-out, teeth-bared, no-apologies rock ‘n’ roll. 🤘🔥 🎤 […]
