Looking for a gig this month? Well we're here to help you. Check out our rundown of the main gigs in the UK this March!
Cosmosis Festival
As given in more detail in our extended preview, Cosmosis marks the first festival of the year and where better to get your psychedelic Rock on than at Victoria Warehouse on 12th March? You’ve got legendary acts like The Jesus & Mary Chain and Brian Jonestown Massacre alongside fresh blood like Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats - seems rude not to.
12th March - Victoria Warehouse - Manchester
Creeper
Creeper’s stock is hitting nuclear levels at the moment. Fans and Press across Heavy Music are starting to look to Creeper as a band who will potentially spearhead the British Punk scene for years to come and it’s at the live shows where they’ve been the most impressive. Venues across the tour needed to be upgraded, and understandably so.
2nd March - Moles - Bath
3rd March - London - The Underworld
4th March - The Forum - Royal Tunbridge Wells
Machine Head
Machine Head never fail to deliver live and since abandoning the festival scene and focussing on their fans with these special “An Evening With Machine Head” shows the band have been absolutely red hot. Expect classics stretching across their discography, with a few rarities thrown in for good measure. Now… MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!

Mass Mental
A gig announced almost completely out of nowhere sees a super group made up of members from Metallica, Skindred, Kyuss and more. Led by ‘Tallica bassist Robert Trujillo this was understandably a gig which sold out in minutes before needing a venue upgrade. We’re promised Funky Metal in abundance - we can’t wait.
13th March - Electric Ballroom - London
Fleshgod Apocalypse

Amon Amarth
Amon Amarth are back, and whilst it’s unconfirmed so far whether they’re bring the longboat, the band are on the warpath to smash their way back towards the higher echelons of Metal have a few waning years. The new track they released showed a promising return to form, something which hopefully carries through in to the live set at this one off show.
22nd March - The Underworld - London
Wolf Alice
Wolf Alice’s popularity is rising faster than probably even they can grasp at the moment. Let’s take this tour for example, what started as a night or two at the Kentish Town Forum developed in to four straight nights, sold out. That’s an incredible achievement for any band. The future is bright for this lot.

Press To Meco/Max Raptor/Allusondrugs
Thanks to the good people at Scuzz, this excellent looking tour brings together three young British acts in a nice little package. They’re running the tour on a rotating headliner basis, but really and truly you don’t want to miss any of the acts on this tour.
