"This might be the greatest one-day lineup in the history of rock," says Billy Corgan of the event celebrating the band and Ozzy Osbourne's final show.

Four West Midlands bands proved the music genre, so closely associated with Birmingham pioneers Black Sabbath, is very much alive in kicking at Metal in the Midlands. The event, staged by BBC Radio WM and B:Music, provided a platform for Defects, Cherrydead, Meatdripper and Gans to showcase their music.
