Swedish guitarist and vocalist Kee Marcello (Video Of The Day) has announced a 6-date UK tour this October which takes in London's The Underworld in Camden on Friday 12th. Marcello is best known for his years with multi-platinum selling band Europe, whose mega-hit 'The Final Countdown' went to number 1 in 25 countries. These dates form part of Marcello’'s 'Scaling Up' tour, which supports his latest album of the same name, and marks his return to the Melodic Hard Rock genre. Fans of Europe will be familiar with Le Baron Boys, a pseudonym Europe used during a now legendary time when the band were working on follow up material to their hit album 'Out Of This World' and Kee will perform material from this era on the tour, some of which also features on his latest album. This is a must-see tour for fans of Europe and Melodic Hard Rock!

One of music’s greatest artists will headline Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park tonight with Eric Clapton set to play a very special concert, continuing the legacy of all-time greats gracing the Great Oak Stage. With a decades-long career and countless accolades to his name, Clapton is also something of a local, having first played Hyde Park with Blind Faith on 7th June 1969 alongside band mates Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood and Rick Grech to a 120,000 strong audience – it was the band’s debut. He returned to the Royal Park in 1996, recording a classic live concert that raised money for The Prince’s Trust, again in 2008 and has played over 200 times at the nearby Royal Albert Hall. With Special Guests, Santana, his old mucker Steve Winwood and Gary Clark Jr. - it's going to be awesome!

A bit like marmite - you either love him or hate him - but there's no doubting the power of Roger Waters music. The Pink Floyd visionary became the latest in a long line of era defining artists to grace BST Hyde Park last night - once again taking his sonic and visual experimentation to breath-taking levels, turning Rock 'n' Roll into theatre on the grandest scale. Roger’s performance featured the biggest quadrophonic sound system ever built - complemented by jaw dropping moments – such as the rising towers of Battersea Power station evoking the cover of the classic, but underrated album, 'Animals', the iconic pigs floating over the audience plus a Spitfire crashing into the stage. However, the most important thing was that Waters 'Us + Them' took us on a marvellous musical journey with songs from their greatest albums 'Wish You Were Here', 'The Wall' and 'Dark Side of The Moon', along with tracks from his critically acclaimed new album 'Is This The Life We Really Want?'. Simply awesome - just check out our Video Of The Day.

Following the release of their last album, 2016’s ‘Who We Are’, UK Melodic Rock stalwarts Vega returned to the studio to record ‘Only Human’ and tonight they complete their current UK tour promoting the new album at London's The Underworld in Camden. The Band have toured with Magnum and Dan Reed Network, appeared at festivals such as Steelhouse, Planet Rock’s Winter’s End, Hard Rock Heaven AOR5, Nordic Noise, Amplified and Rockingham, plus a headlining slot at the Melodic Rock Night in Padova (Italy) plus UK and European tours in their own right. Their new single ‘Let’s Have Fun Tonight’ is one of the twelve songs that comprise their self-produced 'Only Human' (mixed/mastered by Harry Hess of Harem Scarem), which sees Vega take their songwriting and musicianship to the next level.

Pink Floyd visionary Roger Waters becomes the latest in a long line of era defining artists to grace Hyde Park tonight - one of music’s most spectacular showmen at the greatest outdoor venue in the world. Waters is famous for taking his sonic and visual experimentation to breath-taking levels, turning Rock 'n' Roll into theatre on the grandest scale. At Desert Trip in 2016, in the Californian desert, Roger’s performance featured the biggest quadrophonic sound system ever built. His recent sell-out shows have seen some jaw dropping moments – the rising towers of Battersea Power station evoking the cover of the classic Pink Floyd album 'Animals', the iconic pigs floating over the audience and a Spitfire crashing into the stage. This new tour promises to be no exception, following months of meticulous planning and craft, its powerful delivery will no doubt take us on a musical journey. 'Us + Them' will showcase highlights from Waters’ groundbreaking body of work, with songs from Pink Floyd’s greatest albums 'Wish You Were Here', 'The Wall', 'Animals', 'Dark Side of The Moon', along with tracks from his critically acclaimed new album 'Is This The Life We Really Want?'.

"So headliners for the final day of the festival are The Cult. A difficult band to pigeon hole, they have vibes of Rock, Punk and Metal but all packaged together with great lyrics and seriously catchy hooks. There aren’t many bands who have such gravitas and cool yet are ubiquitous in the advertising world for catchy themes. Originally from Yorkshire, where they think what they sing and sing what they think, the five piece have had some tough times but keep coming back, to the delight of their loyal fanbase. Frontman Ian Astbury, dressed all in black, sports a large white Gretsch for opener ‘Wild Flower’ which he sings with as much gusto now as he did as when it was released 30 years ago. With fellow Cult original Billy Duffy on guitar coming from Manchester, you can see why this war of the roses has such energy and passion. They work off of each other to produce great songs with great energy. The hits keep coming with ‘GOAT’, ‘Lil Devil’ and ‘Spritwalker’ whipping up the crowd as the sun sets behind the massive stage. By saving their classic ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ for their encore the sunburnt masses drift off into the night happy that they have had all of their musical buttons pressed."
