Batten down the hatches as the mighty Meat Loaf tribute comes to town on Sunday, 2 April.

Join Steve Steinman for a rock and roll rollercoaster ride through the life of one of the world's best-known rock stars.

The show promises to deliver all your favourite Meat Loaf hits including Bat Out of Hell and Dead Ringer for Love and also tunes from Bonnie Tyler, Cher and the hit musical Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Steve Steinman takes the lead role for his 17th year as Meat Loaf with the voice and look of the man himself. With an incredible stage set, video projected scenes and a superb band, the show will undoubtedly have you on your feet and rocking the aisles.

For those who prefer the quieter side of life, I Dream I Dwelt in Marble Halls by Ade Morris plays on Wednesday, April 5.

The play has been inspired by a short story by Bryan Gallagher about an Irish wake for the loss of mad Madelyn O'Sullivan, a wild-hearted woman with a mind to match.

The Magic of Ireland and The Barron Knights will also entertain audiences at The Roses.

The Magic Ireland features Irish dance, music and song. Evoking a time and place steeped in legend, lore and enchantment, the live show offers the most authentic Irish cultural experience of any production and features the finest artists performing today.

Experience a spectacular evening of traditional Irish dance, music and song enhanced by stunning costumes, lighting and sound.

The Barron Knights, The Farewell Tour, will include songs and anecdotes spanning the group's 46-year career.

Since starting in 1960, the group has performed around 150 concerts a year all over the world.

The Magic of Ireland plays at the Roses Theatre on Friday, April 7 and The Barron Knights play on Saturday, April 8.

Bon Jovi tribute band Bongiovi will be headlining on Sunday, April 9.

Lookalikes and soundalikes, the top notch band headed by lead singer Danny Wilde will perform the US rock band's biggest hits including Livin' On a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name and Bed of Roses.
