WITH their first album One Day Remains certified gold and their second Blackbird on the same path, US rockers Alter Bridge return to the UK next month for a short tour including a date at Rock City on November 12.

And you can be there to see the gig, watch the sound check and meet the band.

We have teamed up the folks at Live Nation to offer a lucky fan this awesome prize. Not only can you and a friend be amongst the lucky few who will be invited to a private Sound Check Party on November 12, where you'll get to see the band sound check and take as many photos/videos as you like, you'll also get to meet them afterwards -- then attend the full show later in the evening.

But is doesn't stop there.

There'll be a chance to win a jam with the band during the soundcheck.

The performance will be filmed and immortalised as part of the extra features on the band's next live DVD.

To enter answer this:
