The roll-call of loud and intimate gigs that have taken place within Rock City s blackened walls contains some of music s biggest names.
Nirvana, Madness, Def Leppard, David Bowie, Public Enemy, The Ramones, Guns N Roses, Pulp, The Cure, Rage Against the Machine and Manic Street Preachers, to name just a few, have graced the stage over recent decades. For groups like us, it feels like home, said Justin Sullivan, lead singer of rock band New Model Army.
