I have tickets for the Saturday,missed seeing them first time round,but saw them at Heaton Park and Finsbury Park a couple of years ago,they were excellent.

No 1 son may be in for a surprise,Brown is a big hip hop fan and this tells in the support acts,Plan B,Professor green,Dizzy Rascal and Rudimental supported them at HP and FP gigs.

The support bands were decent all round with ,Johhny marr,The Vaccines,Primal Scream,The Courteeners amongst others who supported them,so whilst the tickets are steep,you get to see
a few decent bands.

Corey Taylor at Leeds Academy this evening doing a set which included Slipknot and Stone Sour songs along with material from his recent two albums.

Coming up on Saturday ... Nottingham Rock City ... Fozzy supported by The Hot Damn! and Pistols At Dawn.

Expectations aren't too high but hoping for a good evening.

It's a really strange one with Fozzy. Musically I like what they sound like but vocally it's borderline karaoke with Chris Jericho being supported with his vocals 95% of the time.

Alestorm, Korpiklaani & Heidevolk this evening in Leeds. If I'm being honest I'm only bothered about Alestorm although there are a couple of Korpiklaani tracks I like.

Only ended up seeing Alestorm but they were very good.

Scottish Pirate Metal ... what's not to like
