A punk-powered electronic juggernaut of screamalong songs, big ideas and Day-Glo beatz, MSI have been pestering the planet for over a decade now, thanks to the warp-speed creative energy of maniac frontdude Jimmy Urine. Love 'em or hate 'em, Jimmy and cohorts in crime Steve Righ? (guitar), Kitty (drums) and Lyn-Z (bass) will deliver a serious poptastic gut-punch on the mighty K! trek.

BRING ME THE HORIZON
Never ones to shy away from controversy or the limelight, Sheffield's shirtiest sons are out to prove that second album Suicide Season is the launch pad for a new direction of industrial-strength, devastating ferocity. The deathcore five-piece are older, wilier and armed to the hilt with cranium-splitting tunage. If you're looking for trouble, you came to the right tour. Just don't forget that hard hat.

BLACK TIDE
They've been going since 2003 and are still all under 20 years old, but next year Black Tide surely will come of age when they hit the UK for the formidable Kerrang! tour 2009.Contributing a cover of Prowler to K!'s Maiden Heaven project this July cemented this young Floridian quartet's reputation as the metal muthas most likely to: 2009 will surely see the lads thrash 'em all.
