After ten days of pretty much non stop rain in the build up to the festival at times bordering on the torrential, Rock Sins really wasn’t sure what we would find arriving at the 2019 Download Festival. Stories abound in the mainstream media of attendees having given up in the campsite on the Wednesday and…
After our Spotify playlist being quiet for awhile, we’re back with a bang. Twenty fresh songs for you all to enjoy, and a real mix of brand new stormers and old favourites.

The last weekend of May is fast approaching which means two things. It’s another bank holiday and Slam Dunk Festival is on the way. One of the major highlights of the musical calendar and always a great way to kick off the Festival season proper. This years lineup is an all-star occasion and is so…
Over the last couple of years, Fireball have really taken up Jagermeister’s lead of helping to provide great live music at very affordable prices. The Fireball Fuelling The Fire Tour is another example of that, and Rock Sins was on hand at the second London show to see what went down! Opening tonight was London’s…

A few weeks ago we received the welcome news that the Vans Warped Tour was making it’s UK return in 2015 after having 2014 as a year off. The event, which in 2015 is going to be a one day, all day festival at it’s usual UK home of Alexandra Palace in London on the…

After a busy first day (which you can read all about right here) and a trip to the zoo to nurse our hangovers, The Catharsis (8.5) kicked off the second day of Hevy Fest in brilliant fashion. Pulling in a respectable crowd despite their early set time, The Catharsis prove themselves to be one of the many…
After two days of enthralling rock, metal and the odd bit of dance courtesy of The Prodigy, not to mention hangovers and bangovers courtesy of the Raging Speedhorn VIP set on Saturday night, Rock Sins arrived somewhat groggily at the final day of the return of Sonisphere Knebworth 2014. If you’ve missed the first two…
After a turbulent 2013 with both the festival and it’s replacement gig being cancelled, Hevy Fest has bounced back in 2014 and some of us here at Rocksins could not be happier. Not only is it good to see the festival back but it’s got a line up packed with some of the best hardcore,…
