Guitar legend and rock visionary Uli Jon Roth celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary Scorpions album "Virgin Killer" in 2026. With his unmistakable playing style and innovative guitar sounds, Uli not only shaped the early work of the Scorpions but also inspired generations of guitarists worldwide.

 From 1974 to 1978, Roth served as the Scorpions‘ lead guitarist and co-creator of classics such as "Fly To The Rainbow", "In Trance", and, of course, "Virgin Killer", which achieved gold status worldwide. 

 The "Virgin Killer 50th Anniversary Tour" is more than a nostalgic look back: for the first time – and at the same time for the very last time – the complete album "Virgin Killer" will be performed in its entirety, an event that has never happened before and will never happen again. Touring across Europe, the tour promises unforgettable moments filled with powerful guitar riffs, emotional melodies, and spontaneous improvisations – the kind of inspired performances only an artist of Roth’s caliber can deliver.

 Experience live how Uli Jon Roth celebrates the legacy of one of rock’s most important albums – an evening of history, passion and unparalleled music.

Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast deliver gritty rock & roll soaked in deep roots and blues influences and Rolling Stone describes commanding lead singer Caitlin Krisko as “one of the best-kept vocal secrets of the Southeast,”. Since their transformational rebrand in 2021, the band has built a fiercely loyal following across the US and UK, earning critical acclaim and major festival slots for their electrifying, emotionally charged performances.

In 2024, the band took a bold creative leap with their self-produced EP Blueprints, a soulful, anthemic collection that landed playlist placements, radio support, and praise for its raw vulnerability. The single “Haunted By You” topped Spotify’s “Blues Ballads” playlist, while their upcoming full-length album Heirloom (out spring 2026) builds on that momentum with a waterfall release of singles throughout the year.

With past support slots for legends like Mavis Staples, Marcus King, Blackberry Smoke, Samantha Fish, Robert Randolph, and Margo Price, the band continues to rise. Krisko recently stepped into a new role as host of the storied Buffalo Mountain Jam at FloydFest, solidifying her as a staple of the modern roots rock scene. 

Following a breakout year of airplay on Planet Rock Radio, the band returns to the UK twice in 2026, building on their growing international fanbase with festival and club dates that highlight their genre-bending fusion of southern soul, roots rock, and blues influenced modern storytelling.

Australian rocker Cassidy Paris has a very bright future ahead of her.  Raised on classic hard rock and inspired by artists such as Halestorm, Joan Jett, Pink, Pat Benatar & Avril Lavigne, the fiercely determined young woman is on a mission to inspire a new generation.

Since the beginning, Cassidy Paris has released two sold out eps – “Broken Hearted” & “Flirt”, and her first full length record "New Sensation" was released via Frontiers Music Srl in December 2023.

At the age of 11, Cassidy met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger & The Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took Cassidy under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing her music.

From early on, Cassidy wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In 2018, Cassidy Paris released the song 'Stand', a heartfelt song about ‘standing up for yourself’ as a young woman.  Cassidy continues to deliver that message and promotes anti-bullying through her performances. Paris enjoys performing at many schools around Melbourne, and is an active campaigner for the worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’.

Cassidy's talents have not gone unnoticed by some of the most prestigious companies in the industry, with brands such as Fender Guitars, Ernie Ball Strings & Wornstar Clothing all endorsing her.

Cassidy Paris has built up a strong connection with her growing worldwide fanbase that has already seen her perform in America, Japan and the UK.

2022 saw Cassidy Paris tour Australia with the likes of John Corabi & H.E.A.T, along with a 12 date UK tour.  In 2023, Cassidy Paris signed to Frontiers Music SRL.  She released her debut album 'New Sensation' in December to rave reviews, many including a Top 10 Album Of The Year.

John Verity is one of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today, having honed his craft over more than 60 years on the circuit at every level.

Born in West Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before moving to Florida. Whilst there he opened for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mountain and others, then on his return to the UK, taking a somewhat different direction with time as front man with Argent.

When Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio, producing, recording, and guesting with, among many others, Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie, Charlie, Motorhead, and Saxon.

However. live performance has always been the driving force for JV, and though he does love studio work it wasn’t long before the need to play live drew him back…

These days it’s easy to find John back out on the road with his own band and material, and experiencing a musical renaissance across the country at a venue near you!

The John Verity Band currently features: - Guitar/vocals-John Verity, Drums-Chris Mansbridge and bass, Roger Inniss.

"Describing Hell's Addiction as the "bastard child of an illicit three-way between Skid Row, early Guns N' Roses and AC/DC", pretty much sums up their balls-out approach to Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Originally a four-piece before becoming five, Leicester's own Hell’s Addiction formed in 2010, with their first album, the triumphant Raise Your Glass arriving in 2013.

In 2015, they started work on their penultimate album – ‘Broken’. Released in July 2016 it received critical acclaim across the board. Their long awaited album 'Nine O'Clock Horses' delivered their trademark sound in spades, filled with anthemic crowd pleasers, and it was with some surprise that the band announced they were calling it a day at the beginning of 2024.

A sell-out 'one-off' gig at the Musician in Leicester last December brought the band out of hiatus and they're back once again this year to kick off the Christmas festivities! With festivals up and down the country already locked in for 2026, demand is once again expected to be high.

Hell's Addiction are back."

Burnt Out Wreck, fronted by and featuring Gary Moat, are as musically unpretentious and outstanding a band as they are an old-school, classic guitar-rock outfit.

 Front man and songwriter Gary Moat, now more than three decades removed from the original Heavy Pettin, is still proving Rock Ain’t Dead, but on very much his own terms – uncompromising riff- led rock that takes the essence of AC/DC and adds sonic swagger and raucous roll in equal measure.

 That Burnt Out Wreck sound was heard to fine effect on debut album Swallow and sophomore release This is Hell, a slightly darker affair that carried both lyrical wit and weighty, guitar-led grit.

 Those albums and the band’s first five years led to well-received festival appearances (including a WinterStorm set that elicited an audience response of “one more song!” at set’s end), supporting the likes of Anvil, a clutch of headline shows and a return invite to BonFest, all of which have started to pay dividends for Gary Moat, Alex Carmichael (bass), Paul Gray (drums) and new guitarist Richard Upson (guitarist Andy McLaughlin is also part of the band for live work).

 In 2022 Burnt Out Wreck released their big, bold and lyrically defiant third album Stand And Fight, which Gary Moat noted contained “eleven of the best songs I’ve written.” He’s not wrong, with brooding, thick-riffed opener 'Big Up Yourself' acting as a musical portent for what follows – an album that musically bites as much as it lyrically stands, and fights, its hard rock ground.
