To celebrate the momentous occasion of us turning 25 on Friday (15th November), we’re running a series of on air specials on Planet Rock throughout the week.
From Monday 11th to Friday 15th November at 1pm every day, you can listen again to classic My Planet Rocks episodes with some of the biggest rock stars in music history.
These five episodes feature legends Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, David Coverdale, Meat Loaf, and Ronnie James Dio talking about their fabled careers and picking their favourite songs. Check out full details below.
Throughout the anniversary week, we’ll also be playing happy birthday messages from the likes of Bruce Dickinson, Duff McKagan, Jon Bon Jovi and Benji from Skindred to name but a few.
And on the big day itself - Friday 15th November at 6pm - Mark Jeeves is hosting a one-hour Planet Rock 25th Birthday special telling the history of the station and featuring interviews with past and current presenters.
