Planet Rock’s Rocktober has announced a trio of new headliners for this autumn’s three-date rock event.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty with international travel, previously confirmed bill topper Kenny Wayne Shepherd is unfortunately unable to make it to UK shores in October.

The good news is that Reef will now headline the opening Planet Rock’s Rocktober date at Bristol O2 Academy (Sat 15th Oct), Wilko Johnson tops the bill at London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (Tue 18th Oct) and Sweet will headline at Sheffield O2 Academy (Sat 22nd October).

Special guests at all three dates are King King and When Rivers Meet, while The Damn Truth also play Bristol and Sheffield.

Tickets to Planet Rock’s Rocktober are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets right now.
