As R Kelly has embarked on his current tour, reports have been coming in that this is one crazy show. It’s true that R Kelly has written so many hits, he can’t include them all in his concert, but he gives it his best shot. The stage show and singing can’t be topped and he has more effects and costume changes than any current diva today, making him the numero uno of divos (That’s a male diva for those not in the know). His show includes a boxing ring with dancers in gold lame bikinis, a jungle set up, a martini bar, fireworks, lap dances, and R Kelly on the electric guitar. If you want a sexy, crazy, freaky show, you have to look no further than the R Kelly concert. Get your tickets now and expect to be shocked and amazed!

The Mars Volta have announced a string of dates next February and March in the UK.

I’m not entirely sure why there is such a big gap between dates in February and March, presumably it’s for more UK dates or for a European tour.

Saturday 2nd February - Manchester Apollo

I go away for four days to San Francisco for thanksgiving, and what happens? Only half of the major 2008 tours go on sale that I haven’t covered yet. Great.

First up is Supergrass. After having to pull out of the job of opening the new Oxford Academy due to a freak accident, they’re back playing two nights at Oxford’s Town Hall. Expect new material to be debuted,
