Sam Ryder brings an 80s rock special!

Sam Ryder is in for Shaun and brings out the hairspray and revs up the riffs for a one-night-only 80s rock extravaganza!

80s rock...the raucous riffs, the huge hair, the gargantuan guitar solos...and they'll all be here with Sam Ryder, who's taking control of the Radio 2 Rock Show for one night only! Expect a tracklist of epic rock anthems from the decade that brought you Bon Jovi, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, Skid Row, Heart, Joan Jett, Motley Cruë, Poison, Dio and the mighty Def Leppard...the list goes on but never fear, all the tunes will be expertly picked by rock superfan Sam. You have been warned, the air guitar WILL be in full flight!
