What's Happening in London, ON…

Operatic rock artist Meat Loaf will bring his new album ‘Hell in a Handbasket’ to downtown London in time for Halloween, as the American singer is scheduled to play at the RBC Theatre at the John Labatt Centre in London at the end of next month. His newest album follows the success of his smash compendium, ‘Bat out of Hell’.

Meat Loaf will perform his new album for the London audience with a surprising entourage accompanying him- rappers Chuck D and Lil John, along with country singer Trace Adkins and Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath.

Preceding the famous rocker will be US hip-hopper Big Sean’s concert, which will take place at London Music Hall on September 24. Big Sean, good friend to Canadian star Justin Bieber, gifted Bieber with a sentimental pinky ring in gratitude to helping him launch his singing career.

Meat Loaf’s arrival is the first of three highly anticipated music events this autumn. Local heroes The Allens and Canadian country star Jason McCoy’s Christmas Tour at the London Hall will also quickly follow suit and wrap up the rest of 2012.

The upcoming concerts will offer a variety of exciting printing opportunities for local printers. Poster printing promoting the artists throughout the city should help ensure concerts sell out quickly. Local printers in London also have a successful track record in helping highlight local and up-and-coming talent, especially in this artistic and musical city known for its creative talent.

Concerts and exhibits are huge tourist attractions to the city, with printed guides of local performances available at the Tourism London office. Meat Loaf will add his name to the list on October 29.
