Black Veil Brides – a lippy ‘n’ eyelinered LA combo who make The Horrors look like Westlife in comparison – cross the Atlantic on March 26 for an over-14s, no alcohol show in the Dublin Academy. Tickets are €22 with support provided by Michigan emotive-types Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, AKA D.R.U.G.S.

Having cracked the US top 20 with this year’s Set The World On Fire album, Black Veil Brides release their Rebels EP on Christmas day. A suitably riotous amalgam of KISS, Motley Crue and My Chemical Romance, they’re going to be ginormous.
