METAL SLUDGE / September 2nd 2026 – It appears that there just might be a traffic jam in the United Kingdom this week as 3 different tours featuring some of the 80’s finest hair-metal hits the ground running.

Enuff Z’Nuff are also in the U.K. this week with their 11-show tour which includes dates in Sweden and Norway.
The Chicago based EZN are headed by their founder and namesake, Chip Z’Nuff (Bass, Vocals) who continue to support their latest studio effort “Xtra Cherries” Deadline Cleopatra Records.
Jizzy Pearl and his Love/Hate tour run is scheduled to play 4 shows in total but it appears the Friday night appearance at “The Globe” in Cardiff Wales has been cancelled.
A statement from the promoter Cross Border Music Group shared on Facebook reads as follows: “Please Note 
. Sadly Fridays show with Love Hate is cancelled. We look forward to hosting Love Hate next time they come to the UK. Refunds will be processed from your point of purchase.”
Pearl’s Love/Hate will also appear at the Sold Out “Hard Rock Hell Sleaze” festival in Sheffield this weekend where Faster Pussycat, Enuff Z’Nuff, Kickin’ Valentina and several other groups will appear over the 3-day event.
