UK rockers THUNDER have issued the following update:

"Dear All,

It will no doubt come as a complete surprise to most of you to learn that this year's Thunder Xmas Show will be held at Rock City in Nottingham on Wednesday, December the 17th.

The now legendary mix of re-worked Thunder tunes combined with splendid cover versions will be the order of the evening, all wrapped up in festive clothing, beards, hats, inflatables, trees and of course the obligatory snow machines. In addition, I'm told that this year Harry will enter the venue in a sleigh pulled by a gaggle of reindeers, throwing presents to all and sundry. Actually I made that last bit up, but you get the vibe...

The show will be recorded as usual and an exclusive Live CD will be sent to all who buy a ticket & send in their claim form (sent out in February after Ben has mixed it and Chris has put his crayons away).

Demand for this year's giggle is likely to be huge, as last year's Live CD (Rock City 8 - The Turkey Strikes Back) continues to sell incredibly well. History has taught us that this is a very good indicator. The word is therefore, book early to avoid disappointment, or in other words.. IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND, DON'T HANG ABOUT!

Get your tickets here."

Thunder will be releasing their new album, Bang!, on November 3rd via Frontiers.

The Bang! tracklisting is as follows: 'On The Radio', 'Stormwater', 'Carol Ann', 'Retribution', 'Candy Man', 'Have Mercy', 'Watching Over You', 'Miracle Man', 'Turn Left At California', 'Love Sucks', 'One Bullet', 'Honey'.
