The Black Country glam rock pioneers are heading back out on the road with a date in Birmingham in time for Christmas.

Widely regarded as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the UK in the past 50 years, with their unique blend of pop-rock'n'roll, outrageous flamboyance and pure fun, Slade amassed no less than twenty three top-20 singles including six number 1's.

Their chart career spanned 5 decades and their songs 'Cum On Feel The Noize' and 'Coz I Luv You' are still featured today in TV commercials for some of the worlds biggest companies.

Throughout the seventies, Slade became one of Europe's biggest bands, touring and recording continually and making regular trips to America, Japan and other parts of the world. They have continued to tour the world and are firm favourites on the German festival scene.

Led by founder members Dave Hill (lead guitar) and Don Powell (drums) and joined by John Berry (lead vocals/bass) who has also played with The Sweet and Bay City Rollers. Slade are still one of the most exciting bands on the road.

The band are scheduled to play Birmingham's O2 Academy on 22nd December.

Tickets and more information are available online.
