Evaline may be an unfamiliar name to most UK music fans but they've landed one of the biggest gigs of the summer.

The American band will be playing alongside the likes of Bon Jovi, The Killers and Adam Ant at the Hyde Park Calling this weekend. It's a big break for the California-based six-piece, and more remarkable because they have yet to sign a record deal.

IN A NUTSHELL
Crowd-pleasing American rockers return to The O2 for a 12 night residency, but don't quite scale the heights.

They opened The O2 with a bang three years ago and Bon Jovi are back to make the venue their home for most of this month.

The American rockers will play 12 dates at the arena, promising tracks from their latest album The Circle, and old favourites like Livin' On A Prayer. Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres is aiming to make the most of his extended time in London.

If you didn't resolve to get out more in the New Year then maybe you should have.

Whatever your taste in entertainment, there is plenty to look forward to in the coming months. To make it that little bit easier, we have dug out a few of the highlights for you.

IN A NUTSHELL
Drag the acid washed denim down from the loft, Bon Jovi are back with an album of timeless tracks.

Sir Paul McCartney will become the latest music legend to play The O2 when he performs at the arena on December 22.

The ex-Beatle is undertaking a short European tour with the London date being his only UK show of the year.

UNTIL last week, Ivyrise’s biggest gig had been in front of a crowd of 1,000 people.

So warming up more than 40,000 screaming fans while they were waiting for legendary rock act Bon Jovi to appear was a bit of a step up.
