In the reviews section, Five Finger Death Punch dust themselves down and continue on their belligerent course with their punchy seventh album, while Turnstile host the largest basement show of all time, Black Peaks give a sneak peek of what's to come as they level St Albans, and Queen Kwong bring their beautiful electro-rock to the capital.
We've got five classic posters for you this week, too, featuring Limp Bizkit, blink-182, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance and Green Day!
