Best Sellers
Alice Cooper
Godfather of shock rock Alice Cooper certainly has a flair for the theatrical. He was amongst the first to incorporate such wild antics as fake electric chairs, mock guillotines and having himself hanged to the sheer delight of enthralled audiences.
His career has spanned over five decades and saw him rise to the top of the LA hard rock scene. Initially working with a band before splitting off as a solo artist, Alice Cooper was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of fame in 2011 with such hits as Elected, You And Me, Schools Out and Poison.
He makes his welcome return to the UK for a tour which takes him to some of the biggest stages Britain has to offer, performing during November at:
- First Direct Arena, Leeds
- Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham
- Manchester Arena
- The SSE Arena – Wembley, London

Manic Street Preachers
After enjoying the twentieth anniversary of their fourth record Everything Must Go in resplendent style, Manic Street Preachers are back to take over Newcastle having just been named as the latest headline act for the exciting Live From Times Square events.
The Welsh wonders have teased fans with the prospect of a classic and melodious thirteenth studio album which, according to Nicky Wire, is inspired by the Electric Light Orchestra and we expect that some of the new material will be played at this huge outdoor show.
“There’s one called ‘Dylan and Caitlin’, which is me trying to imagine that relationship between Caitlin and Dylan Thomas. I’m not entirely sure if I’ve been successful in sitting outside of myself, but I have been trying.”
