Bands playing free sets and doing signing, and then THE DARKNESS playing a special show!
Are you ready to ROCK? They are at Virgin Megastore, and I'm about ready to rock with them, having confirmed now that I'm off to the day of rock at the Oxford Street store tomorrow, August 5th...
Live performances and signing sessions are due from SikTH, Crackout, Funeral For A Friend and Biffy Clyro will perform live, exclusive sets from inside the famous store. Better wear the reinforced pants as Kerrang or also promising "surprise in-store events", lions and tigers and bears possibly.
The Kerrang! Day Of Rock marks the start of the countdown to the Tenth Annual Kerrang! Awards on August 21st, and announcement of nominations will be made live in the store.
The show starts at 1pm and is open to rock fans of all shapes and sizes. The store will close at 8:30pm, and be cleared prior to The Darkness who will play a special set to 500 lucky fans.
There may be still tickets to the Darkness to be won at www.thedarknessrock.com1, and I hope you've placed your votes at www.kerrang.com2... For the other bands, better get down there early and start queueing!

I replicated this content here when popex eventually closed down in the early '00s. Hopefully this ignites memories assuming you find it.
