ONSALE  

At this time we can't say how many other star systems they'll be visiting, but we can say that the DEPECHE MODE TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE will be landing at the O2 on 30th May. Tickets for this date go on sale Friday.

... always said there was something a bit flying saucerish about that place. Now we know.

ONSALE  

A heads-up, so to speak: THE KILLERS have announced two dates at the O2. Tickets for their 23rd and 24th Feb gigs go onsale Friday 10am: more details when we have them.

ONSALE  

It's all about the 1940s: low lighting, antique fittings, crisp white tablecloths and leather seating. The PIGALLE CLUB has dinner, dancing, cocktails and unbeatable shows.

• 9th,16th October: the MOTOWN LIVE REVUE celebrates over 50 fabulous years of Motown and its greatest artists. Features songs from all the Motown greats, including The Temptations, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder and many more.

• 11th October: The FABULOUS BOOGIE BOYS have been performing around the world for over ten years. A five-piece soul and rock'n'roll band dressed in 1950s dinner attire, and using period instruments, the band delivers foot stomping hits from the 1930s to the present.

• 24th October: ALEXANDER O'NEAL is one of the world's finest contemporary soul singers, but did you know he started out as part of Prince's backing band before leaving to form a hard rock band? 25 years on Alexander is at the top of his field, working and collaborating with stars such as Patti Labelle, Mica Paris, Janet Jackson, Gladys Knight and Cherelle

• 25th October: KING PLEASURE AND THE BISCUIT BOYS are one of the most popular jazz & swing bands in the world, made famous by Ronnie Scotts clubs, performing classy numbers in Louis Jordan & Eddie Cleanhead style. From their beginnings in a Walsall coffee shop, they have made a name (a quite distinctive name, we'd say) for themselves with fantastic jazz and blues rhythms, crazy on-stage antics, musical humour and total professionalism

• 31st October: THE DR TEETH BIG BAND was formed over seven years ago to reinvent the great sound of jazz/blues and swing and serve it up for the new millennium. It says here that they play "hard hitting-smart arsed-driving-soulfull-boogielitious music", which must be a good thing, surely.

ONSALE  

Priest feast? Buffet lunch for clergymen? No, it's JUDAS PRIEST, with MEGADETH and TESTAMENT, who are "set to rock the UK to its very core" - so, er, never mind the "lock up your daughters" cliche, for this one you'll need to strap down all loose objects and get onto open ground lest you be crushed under the rubble.

WEMBLEY ARENA, 21st February. On sale now.

ONSALE  

Busy week? Certainly seems like it. More onsales for tomorrow -

• SIMPLY RED is, according to Googlism , "just right". Or "an intensely refreshing tea and juice combination that is extremely flavorful". Their Greatest Hits tour comes to London on 2nd April

• KAISER CHIEFS are on tour to promote their new album "Off With Their Heads": Wembley Arena, 6th March

• ANGIE STONE, "American R&B, soul, and neo soul singer-songwriter, keyboardist, record producer, and occasional actress" - it's what we call a "portfolio career" - adds another three Jazz Cafe dates - 18th,19th and 20th Dec (on sale 10am)

• LEONARD COHEN CC GOQ announces a Royal Albert Hall date to go with his O2 shows: 17th November

• WAR OF THE WORLDS. The chances of anything coming from the O2 Arena are - well, pretty close to 100%, we 'd say. It's the 30th Anniversary Tour of Jeff Wayne's famous musical version of the Martian invasion.
