Whole host of stars at The Oasis

Lulu, Chaka Khan and Anastacia headline the Here Come The Girls tour

For a number of years now the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon has been the place for the town's music fans to see their favourite bands and recording artists up close and personal.

Just some of the national and international acts to have appeared at the 3000 capacity venue over the last few years have included McFly, Kings of Leon, Pet Shop Boys and Scissor Sisters.

And before this year is out, at least ten more top-selling bands are due to play gigs at the venue.

Forthcoming shows by top acts such as Morrissey, Dizzee Rascal, Alice Cooper, Lily Allen and Will Young have already sold out, but you can still obtain tickets for the remainder of The Oasis's 2009 gigs.

First up on Saturday 14 November, 1980s soul star Alexander O'Neal famous for hits such as 'Criticise' and 'Fake' is joined by huge-in-the-early-1990s singer Kenny Thomas, and 2005 X-Factor runner-up Andy Abraham.

For any fan of soul and R'n'B, this is a show not to be missed.

Lemmy formed Motorhead in 1975

The following day, Sunday 15 November, veteran heavy rockers Motorhead bring their show to Swindon.

The band fronted by hard rock legend Lemmy Kilminster will be playing all the favourite from their 34-year career including 'Ace of Spades', 'Motorhead' and 'Eat the Rich'.

Here Come The Girls

Friday 27 November sees a show co-headlined by three generations of pop history's best-loved divas.

The Here Comes the Girls tour features evergreen national institution Lulu, 1980s disco legend Chaka Khan, and one of the most recognisable voices in modern music, Anastacia.

Lulu says of the show: "I am so proud of our Here Come the Girls Tour.

"Putting it together has been exciting and I am thrilled that these great voices, and now my great friends, Chaka Khan and Anastacia, are sharing the experience with me.

"The show is a celebration of us women - a little mischief and a lot of fun, set to real get-up-and-dance music.

"Talk about woman power!"

Basement Jaxx

And rounding out 2009, just over a fortnight later on Sunday 6 December, pioneering London-based dance duo Basement Jaxx perform at The Oasis.

Basement Jaxx played Swindon in May at Radio 1's Big Weekend

This is their second gig in Swindon this year following a spectacular show at Radio 1's Big Weekend event at Lydiard Park in May.

Expect hits including 'Rendezvous', 'Red Alert' and 'Bingo Bango'.

Looking ahead to 2010, and a face never out of the media, for reasons other than his music, the much-loved Peter Andre arrives on Sunday 7 March.

His most recent album 'Revelation' has proved to be one of the biggest hits of his career.

His 2010 tour will be a chance for everyone to remember that he is not just famous for being famous, but still very much a talented live vocalist and musician.
