With the new year coming up there's a lot of opportunities for everyone to get out there and see a live band play. So the question is, are there any gigs coming up you fancy or plan to go to?

For me, I'm planning to see Iron Maiden in Newcastle, I last saw them in 2006 and though they played only 5 classics and the whole of A Matter Of Life And Death it was awesome.

Tempted to go see Rush in Newcastle as well if I can afford it.

I really want to go see Saxon who are playing in Newcastle too.

I'd also love to go down to Sonisphere and see the Big 4.

Er... Judas Priest might stop by and if I can help it I'll travel the country hell, even the world to see them as much as I can before they split.

Manowar down in Birmingham is tempting.

So, what about you guys?
