The Forestry Commission concert series has given this week's new ticket on-sales a much needed boost with shows from Ed Sheeran and Madness, while the tour of the week comes from Graham Coxon. Rock acts are again well-represented by Judas Priest (farewell show, per chance?), Architects and Twin Atlantic. Whew! Time to read on, we-thinks...
