Tickets for these dates go on sale at 9AM. Sticking with the rock vibe - well "space rock", anyway: Hawkwind have just announced their first date of 2009 at York's Grand Opera House.

An extra London date has been added to the "War of the Worlds" spectacular for 21st June 2009 and a new musical for the UK, based on the hit album of the same name is 'Dreamboats and Petticoats', featuring the music of the 50s and early 60s. Tickets for these shows go on sale at 9AM and 10AM respectively.

Tickets for Jake and Elwood's Christmas Blues Brothers tribute show at the NIA on 23rd December go on sale at 9AM, as do tickets for Queen tribute show "One Night of Queen" - the newly added Blackburn date on 28th May 2009.

Back on the music tip, with a "reality show" theme: Rhydian Roberts and Lemar have both just added a new date to their 2009 schedule - Rhydian's is the 20th February in Grimsby and Lemar's is 2nd April in Bristol. These go on sale at 10AM and 9AM respectively.

Also, as announced yesterday, the first acts for the Forestry Commission's 2009 "Forest Tour" will be Katherine Jenkins and Vanessa Mae. Katherine Jenkins is set to play two dates - one in Kent and one in Cheshire, whilst Vanessa Mae will play just the one date at the Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucester. Tickets for both of these shows go on sale at 9AM tomorrow.

Stand-up comic and ex Radio 2 bad boy, Russell Brand extends his Jan/ Feb 2009 tour with a dates in Plymouth, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Bournemouth in February. Just to screw y'all up, tickets for this on go on sale at 11AM!

And - saving the biggest and best to last - Tweenies Live 'Top of the Tots' shows go on sale at 10AM.

See you tomorrow morning, at 9AM, 9:30, 10AM or 11AM - or a combination/ permutation of each!
