What's On Rotherham

Punk and Pop have been paired together for years and has shaped the soundtrack to many music lovers lives whilst also launching the careers of much loved bands such as Blink 182, Sum 41, New Found Glory and more.

You loved them so much when they were last here that we’ve asked them to return, but who is it!? It’s only Lovehunter and Backstreet Thunder, two of the best tribute acts in Europe to Whitesnake and Thunder. Expect to hear classics such as Here I Go Again, Is This Love, She’s So Fine and Rip It Up.

It’s the last Sunday of April so don’t waste it staying at home all day! Come and see our friendly faces, enjoy a proper pint and listen to the sounds of rock covers band Rock Engine. Their high octane rock covers of classic songs will certainly get you prepared and ready for the week ahead!
