Iron Maiden vs Josh Groban

This week we're all about the musical announcements. The dates for Iron Maiden's SA tour have been confirmed and pretty much antithesis of the heavy metal band, Josh Groban, has been announced to return to SA in April next year. Tickets for both concerts are now on sale. Then, musical festivals Rocking the Daisies and Up the Creek have announced their initial line-ups.

In other news, I interview Thomas Krane about his latest album, Daniel Dercksen is impressed with local surf movie Die PRO and the Klink Awards nominees are announced.

We're continue our competition bounty offering with the addition of ticket give-aways to Lentedag featuring Jack Parow, Thomas Krane's album launch, and Park Acoustics!
