Initially one of the first digital only radio stations, Planet Rock launched seven weeks before the turn of the millennium on 15th November 1999.
The station is delighted to confirm that good friends Black Star Riders are the blockbuster headline act at the Planet Rock 25th Birthday Bash concert in what will be their first UK performance in well over a year.
“Planet Rock is vital for all of us Hard Rockers playing/promoting the music that we love,” comments Black Star Riders frontman Ricky Warwick. “It’s a totally no brainer and honour for BSR to headline their Birthday gig!”
Black Star Riders’ line-up at the concert will feature Ricky on vocals/guitar alongside guitarist Sam Wood, bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.
Ricky added: “As you all know we have been taking a bit of a BSR hiatus but this is the perfect show for us to come back and play for you all.
"This will be a one off date featuring Jimmy DeGrasso, Sam Wood and Myself and we are very pleased to have Marco Mendoza back into the fold due to Robbie Crane having existing commitments.
