BLACK STAR RIDERS are set to cap a hugely successful 2015 with two headline shows in the UK in December 2015. These shows are in addition to their guest slot on the fast selling Def Leppard/Whitesnake double bill in the same month. In celebration of hitting the road, the band have premiered the official lyric video for ‘Soldierstown’ over on Classic Rock Magazine‘s website and can be seen below:

FOH Audio for EAGLES OF DEATH METAL, Shawn London, has spoken to jimonlight.com about his experience during Le Bataclan attack in Paris on 13th November.
Shawn tells his story of the terrorist attack on Paris and when you hear how Shawn was shot at several times, how he had to hear the pleas of people being purely executed, and how he got out while saving a life or two beyond his own… you may have a change in heart in the way you do things.
Hard Rock Hell, Europe’s undisputed leader in residential festivals are pleased to announce they are taking their HRH AOR brand on the road around the UK for its inaugural trip.
Hard gigging, hard living, hard rocking home-grown heroes THE QUIREBOYS, have reinforced their reputation as kings of the road after announcing this slew of new dates with HRH AOR for 2016.
There will be 8 premier shows, which The Quireboys will headline, with main support from 80s hair metal heroes Faster Pussycat and super Swedes Bonafide. Other support acts include The Texas Flood, Thirteen Stars and SKAM.
“It will be more than 18 months since we played so many full electrics shows across the UK and it’s time we treated the fans to a big old party,” said singer Spike. “Doing it with 3 other bands under the HRH AOR banner in bigger venues, just makes perfect sense. We’ll be rolling out an all-new set featuring our favourite songs from the last four records, all the classics and some tunes that have never been played live. Let’s see how that works out!”
2016 has been the band’s most successful year to date with a main stage slot at Sweden Rock, sold-out dates in the USA and scores of UK and European headline shows complementing superb new album “St Cecilia And The Gypsy Soul”.
HRH CEO & Founder, Jonni Davis added, “We’ve been planning quite a few of these high value packages under the HRH banner to tour various countries for some time, this will be the first of many, which have been requested by the HRH family and are now out there for everyone to enjoy, getting Spike and the lads to headline the first one, just made it even more special”.
