• London International music show ‘09. The London Guitar show has gone from just one instrument to featuring a fuller range, from drums to recording gear. Featuring Drummer live, unplugged and the sound recording technology show, this promises to be its biggest year to date. With masterclasses on the drums from Niko McBrain of Iron Maiden and Journey’s Steve Smith, and shredder Steve Vai and Blues legend Albert Lee coming in for the guitarists, this is one show your not going to want to miss. Taking place at London’s Excel Arena from June 11th to the 14th.
• Nine Inch Nails. All UK fans of Trent Reznor need to try going for tickets -last chance to see them guys. The final NIN show before they take a hiatus that only Trent Reznor himself knows when it will end, it could be your last chance to see the band in the UK for a long long time. Supporting NIN will be Jane’s Addiction, the 90’s rock band, on a tour dubbed ‘NINJA’ -very clever guys? So if your not going down to Sonicsphere but want to wave goodbye (for the moment) to Reznor and co. O2 arena on July 15th.
• Motorhead. Lemmy returns to tour the UK again. Rock and roll’s most hardworking band returns to destroy your eardrums with ‘killed by death’, ‘Iron fist’ and ‘Overkill’ -did i miss one out. Expect choas from the ‘world’s loudest band’ as Motorhead come to town to show London how a rock gig should be done. With Girlschool, Motorhead’s notorious touring buddies who will rock harder than any male band out there joining them this is going to be a chaotic event onstage at least. November 28th at -you’ve guessed it -Hammersmith.
• The Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards. Taking place exactly after the Download festival, do you need more of a reason to make your weekend longer? With performances at the awards fom Devildriver, Amon Amarth, Anvil, Saxon and Trivium, its worth going to just to extend the festival weekend. Taking place the day after Download, June 15th at the Indigo arena.
