American rockers Shinedown ended their 2022 with an immense Planet Zero world tour, with support for the UK leg from British rockers Asking Alexandria. We sent photographer Matt Higgs to capture the last show of the tour at London’s Wembley Arena. Check out all of the action in the live photo galleries below. Asking Alexandria
Platinum selling rockers SHINEDOWN have always made music that felt autobiographical. Armies of fans have pledged their allegiance to the band due to the heartfelt journal-like nature of their lyrics. In writing album number seven, they have decided to adjust the formula with Planet Zero owing just as much to the works of Aldous Huxley…
After the thoroughly great first day of Download Festival 2022 (read our Friday Download 2022 review here if you missed it), it was time to go again for the often legendary Middle Saturday. A quick shower and back to the arena it was! Things got going a little later than planned thanks to Iron Maiden’s…
It’s that time of year again. Yep, it’s festival season, Metcheck is bracing itself for a record number of website hits and everyone starts buying shares in Jagermeister and wet weather gear. Due to the ongoing Global Pandemic, it’s been 3 years since the faithful have descended upon the hallowed turf of Donington Park for…
Shinedown are without a doubt one of the biggest rock bands of the modern era, specialising in skyscraper sized, arena filling rock anthems. Now imagine you take half the band away and arm them with only acoustic guitars and a piano. Smith & Myers is the side project from Vocalist Brent Smith and Guitarist Zach…
With so many fantastic gigs across the UK in the run up to Christmas, Rock Sins was not quite sure where our gigging year was going to end for 2019. Then the invitation came to end it with our old friends Alter Bridge, headlining at The O2 Arena in London for the second time, one…
Hot off the press from the Download Festival campsite – it seems that Alter Bridge are set to return to the UK at the end of 2019. Not only that, but they’ve got some fairly substantial company coming with them in the shape of Shinedown and Sevendust. The tour poster has come from Twitter and…
Shinedown have become one of the premier rock bands over the course of the last 10 years. Through sheer will and determination, they keep raising their game, and knocking out album after album of increasing quality. Their latest Attention Attention may be their best and most varied album yet. Picking up the threads left behind…
Shinedown are one of the biggest rock bands in America. They are currently over in the UK as special guests to Iron Maiden on their Book of Souls tour. Opening for Iron Maiden is no easy task for anyone, so how are the band handling it? Well, I went to Sheffield to pose the question…
It’s been 6 years since Iron Maiden have done a full UK tour. Yes, we can argue they do the festival circuit so there has been no shortage of chances to see them, but this tour is all about bringing The Book of Souls to the masses. Along for the ride on this Journey are Shinedown…
We thought we’d be due another Download Festival 2016 line up announcement before Christmas, and Andy Copping and his team have obliged with a monster of an announcement! Via their often used good friend, Daniel P Carter on the BBC Radio One Rock Show, ten new acts have been added to the festivities at Donington…
After three years of one of their strongest albums, Amaryllis, hard rock band Shinedown are ready to push themselves that little bit more with fifth studio album, Threat to Survival. All previous releases by the Jacksonville quartet have either gone to gold or platinum in sales and with this new album, it will be no…
