Going out at the top of their game with a No.1 album and a sold out show at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1994, Little Angels burned brightly for a short time. The changing musical landscape, as well as changes in their own personal lives put the band on ice for over two decades, aside from a brief reunion in 2012. All that has changed with the announcement of the 'Big Bad & Back' tour, which kicks off in Dublin in November 2026. "We're enjoying it so much", says guitarist Bruce John Dickinson as we sit down for a chat. We spoke to Bruce about the tour, why he's a sucker for old school gear, and his iconic Gibson Les Paul. Product of the working class; Eamon O'Neill.

One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album, partially in thanks to his session work with he likes of Carol King and Christopher Cross. With the release of his highly anticipated 1986 solo debut 'Tones', the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully formed, leading to a Grammy win for 'Best Instrumental Performance' in 1992. Since then he's been part of G3 with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, recorded numerous solo albums, and played countless world tours. Finally embarking on a full UK and Europe trek in 2026, we caught up with the guitar legend to talk about the dates, and his storied career. Up close; Eamon O'Neill.
As guitarist for Mötley Crüe, John 5 is used to playing huge stadiums, however, he can't wait to get back in the clubs when plays his biggest ever UK solo tour in May. "I love playing small places because you're right here with the person when they're pounding on your foot or jumping on the stage", he says; "it's just so much fun". Talking about what to expect from the dates, badgering his Mötley bandmates to play deep tracks, and whether or not we can expect a new Crüe album, we sat down with the former David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie player. Que pasa; Eamon O'Neill.
