rushonrock understands negotiations are underway to add Spike and co. to the bill when Thunder sign off at Newcastle’s City Hall on July 7. And that would surely guarantee a total sell-out – with tickets already going faster than a glass of JD in the Quireboys’ frontman’s hand… Tyneside’s finest are playing an acoustic set in Keighley tonight before starting rehearsals for a Scandinavian tour starting in May. But it appears moves are afoot to finalise two appearances with Thunder – who call time on a glittering 20-year career this summer – in Newcastle and Nottingham.
Watch this space as we keep tabs on what could be the live highlight of the year – or at least more than match AC/DC and The Answer at Hampden Park the previous week. Rest assured rushonrock will bring you full reviews of both shows here first.
