Billy Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins will kick-off their UK and Ireland tour with Weezer on Friday, 7th June in Birmingham, stopping-off in London, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, and Cardiff.

James Arthur will headline a massive hometown gig at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium on Saturday, 8th June, with McFly, Lauran Hibberd and local supports. He then has a busy summer schedule, playing Bristol Sounds, Live in the Wyldes in Cornwall, Sounds of the City in Leeds, and other gigs besides.
