As much as we love our iPods - shout as much as you like crazy bus man, we can’t hear you - nothing beats the thrill of live music. From the overpriced beer to the sinking in your heart when a singer says "We’re gonna play you something you haven’t heard yet," live music is the best.

OK, let’s be honest - there’s a lot of crap about. How are you supposed to know the difference between a good concert and a bad one? That’s why, as of this week, we present to you the hecklerspray gig guide - a rundown of all the decent live music you can see in the coming week. Ready?
