Rock band Slade will perform their final ever concert at O2 Academy Oxford on Cowley Road on Tuesday, 16 December, as part of The Final Tour. The band, known for their flamboyant pop-rock style and hits including 'Merry Xmas Everybody', promises the show will be 'dynamic, powerful and exhilarating'. They will be joined for their UK dates by Sons of the Seventies, a four-piece Oxfordshire band who pay tribute to the seventies with covers of classics from the era.

Slade first hit the road in 1966 and achieved their first chart hit in May 1971 with 'Get Down and Get With It'. Throughout the 1970s, they became one of Europe's biggest bands. The group later forged a path through the British heavy rock scene in the 1980s. The band is led by founding member Dave Hill on lead guitar, with John Berry on lead vocals, bass, acoustic guitar and violin, Russell Keefe on lead vocals and keys, and Alex Bines on drums.
