Rock Listings Updated

THE SCREAM ROCK BLOG LISTINGS THINGY ...Does pretty much what it says on the tin, bosh...


What’s new for 2012 people - well, the best thing to arrive here for quite some time was, and please take a second to digest this...the KISS ONESY’...or Hoodie Jamz are they’re officially called. It’s a very special thing indeed. Dazzling in fact, and as a friend of mine commented; “If I had one of those, I’d go EVERYWHERE in it”. True dat. We think Tony is going to place it on a mannequin in his home-Kiss-museum though. His Mrs will be pleased.
Also, we know you’re probably like us and on a post Xmas detox but we very much like these chaps at Solid Dudes Kitchen..

DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL!!!

And, last but certainly not least the biggest throw down of the year...
DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL returns for its 10th Anniversary on the hallowed grounds of Donington Park with three mind blowing main stage headliners already in place. On 8th 9th and 10th of June the main area will be dancing, moshing and worshiping at the metal alter as, respectively...

The PRODIGY – me thinks some carnage ma ensue as the most snarling, pioneering, punk as f**k band to ever emerge from the ‘dance’ scene shake the main arena by the scruff of the neck and slap them silly...

METALLICA with a UK exclusive playing the whole of the Metallica ‘black’ album, this means an opening salvo of Enter Sandman and Sad But True, yep...beat that, you cant, so...

And, on the Sunday night to round things off the reformed, masters of the universe themselves BLACK SABBATH. So, lets think about this, for second, that’s Tony, Ozzy, Bill and Geezer back and on home turf! The bar is set pretty high already but there are still many more bands to follow of course!!! http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk
