FM Plus special guest Tygers of Pan Tang.
FM are pleased to announce their new full band “Brotherhood” tour for Sept 2025
FM will perform songs from their past 14 albums including their 1984 debut album Indiscreet, plus Tough It Out, Metropolis, Synchronized and many more.
Formed in the 80's by the Overland brothers FM have become one of the UK's seminal Rock Bands. The bands current line is Steve Overland – Vocals, Merv Goldsworthy - Bass, Pete Jupp - Drums, Jem Davis – Keyboards and Jim Kirkpatrick – Guitar.
“From our meeting in a Notting Hill pub in 1984 to our "one off" comeback gig at Firefest 2007, it's great to now tour beyond our 40th Anniversary shows,” says FM’s drummer, Pete Jupp. “Who'd have thought we'd reach such a milestone?”
Joining FM as special guest we have the unsung rock heroes Tygers of Pan Tang
Tygers of Pan Tang are one of the unsung heroes of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), emerging from Whitley Bay in 1978 with a ferocious mix of raw power and melody. Their debut album, Wild Cat (1980), was a high-energy assault that put them on the map, but it was Spellbound (1981) and Crazy Nights (1981) that really cemented their legacy—thanks in part to the incendiary guitar work of John Sykes (later of Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake).
Despite lineup changes and shifting trends, the Tygers never lost their bite. After a brief hiatus, they roared back in the late ‘90s, proving their staying power with critically acclaimed releases like Ambush (2012) and Ritual (2019). Still active, still delivering classic heavy metal with modern fire, Tygers of Pan Tang remain one of the genre’s most enduring and underrated forces.
