Scott, Ritchie, Abz and Sean reunited earlier this year for the ITV2 series The Big Reunion and showed the country just why they are one of the UK’s most popular bands.

This 14 date headline tour sees them go the length and breadth of the UK including London’s Hammersmith Apollo and will be performing all their greatest hits live. Five said:
“We are so happy to be on our own headline tour again after all these years playing all the hits. We are truly grateful to each and every one of the fans for their continuous support.
We can’t wait to get on the road and perform our full set of Greatest Hits again. Let’s av it!”

Haye returns to Manchester Arena – the home of his WBA heavyweight title wins over John Ruiz and Audley Harrison – to go head-to-head with Lebanon-born former WBC world heavyweight title challenger Manuel Charr.
The summer showdown will mark the popular Londoner’s first outing of 2013 and kickstart a run he hopes will lead to the heavyweight championship of the world.
“I’m delighted to be back fighting at Manchester Arena, as I have great memories of fighting there in the past,” he said. “During my reign as WBA world heavyweight champion I was fortunate enough to defend my belt twice at the arena, and both times I won by knockout. It’s a big arena, but the fans feel right on top of you and the noise generated is, at times, deafening. The Manchester fans are famous for being knowledgeable and getting behind their boxers, and I can’t wait to deliver them another knockout on June 29.”
Haye, 32, is a former WBC, WBA and WBO world cruiserweight champion, as well as a former heavyweight titlist, and remains one of the few genuine crossover stars in the sport of boxing. Heavy-handed and aggressive, the Bermondsey boxer has knocked out 24 of 26 beaten opponents.
Charr, 28, has won all but one of his 24 professional bouts. The German-based boxer’s sole defeat came at the hands of world champion Vitali Klitschko, who controversially stopped him on a cut last September.
Manchester Arena has staged the biggest British fights in recent times featuring greats like Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Naseem Hamed and, more recently, classics bouts by Haye, Joe Calzaghe and local heroes Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan.

Originally opened as a music hall in 1900, the 1,250-person capacity Clapham Grand has previously served as a cinema, bingo hall, and nightclub at stages of its history.
The Clapham Grand is more than a Victorian-era listed building in London: it is an icon of the city’s cultural legacy. That legacy is now reclaimed and enriched with a restoration, refurbishment and return to form.
Refurbishing the Clapham Grand has been a herculean undertaking, demanding of passion and vision. Revamping the sound system, lighting, staging and behind-the-scenes facilities was a labour of both preservation and reinvention. With work now completed, The Grand is again poised to retake its place as a jewel in the crown of music venues. With its three floors replete with cascading balconies, ornate plasterwork and royal boxes, The Clapham Grand echoes a bygone era while ushering in the next with its stunning high-tech refurb.

San Francisco rockers Counting Crows return this week for their first UK tour in over 4 years. The tour follows the release of their latest studio offering, 2012′s ‘Underwater Sunshine (or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation)’.
“All I could say when I saw the plans for a UK/EU tour was ‘It’s about time”, says Adam Duritz. “It’s hard to explain to fans why bands occasionally let so much time pass between visits. The truth is sometimes life just gets in the way and, before you know it, it’s been a few years. Personally, I’m just glad we’re going back. I have a lot of great memories of past tours. Remembering where we’ve been always gets me excited about where we’re going.”
Counting Crows have released a live album, ‘Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow’, to coincide with the new live shows.
