Introducing Melbourne-based alt pop-rock band Joan & The Giants who are fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting break-through acts this year. The band have released their debut UK single entitled ‘Mamma Don’t Cry’ via Xelon Digital. The four piece are queer front-woman Grace Newton-Wordsworth (who grew up on an organic farm in regional Western Australia) alongside members Riley Sutton, Chris Mackenzie and Liam Olsen.  Canadian rockers THEORY OF A DEADMAN announce their return to the UK with a February tour starting in Nottingham’s legendary Rock City. The Barricade Tour will be the band’s first UK shows since a triumphant 2023 UK tour and it promises to be more than just another show. It’s an unforgettable evening comprised of hard rock anthems, raw energy, and decades of fan-favourite hits.  Anthrax - Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar) - will unleash their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album Cursum Perficio on September 18th via Nuclear Blast Records and Megaforce Records (North America). It marks the band’s first record in ten years.  Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch have announced the European and UK leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour to take place in early 2027. Featuring special guest Lamb of God, the tour brings together two of hard rock and metal’s most dominant forces. The line-up will be rounded out by Bleed from Within, for one of the strongest heavy tour packages of the year, and we've got tickets to give away for the Dublin date.  Harper Nonfiction are set to publish the thrilling, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography of Iron Maiden’s unstoppable drummer, Nicko McBrain.
