Ride on time

The Revs, Sonora and Hothouse Flowers are the bands who'll be circumnavigating Ireland next month as part of the 2002 Heineken Rollercoaster tour.

Kicking off at the Southern Hotel, Sligo on February 5th, the trek then takes in College Hall, Waterford (12th); Horan's Hotel, Tralee (13th); The Savoy, Cork (14th); The Hub, DCU (18th); College Hall, Athlone (20th); The Foundry, Carlow (21st); College Hall, Maynooth (25th); Student Bar, Galway (26th); Dolan's Warehouse, Limerick (27th); and Forum Centre, UCD (March 5th).

There's also a Care In The Community element to this year's trek with Hot Press' very own Stuart Clark spinning the discs in between.
