Andy and the Band<\/em> is returning to CBBC and BBC iPlayer on November 13.<\/p>\n

In the upcoming third season, Planet Rock is in distress due to a lack of pure, honest rock music coming from Earth. The Godfather of Rock feels the solution may lie with Andy and his bandmates, the Odd Socks, and the upcoming Battle of the Bands competition.<\/p>\n

Season three is set to bring twenty new episodes, starring Andy Day and featuring Nandi Bushell, Sir Brian May, Kimberly Wyatt, Ella Toone, Nina Wadia and Rustie Lee.<\/p>\n

Day said: \u201cWe\u2019re back with more mayhem, more epic ‘oddsocky’ tunes, great guest stars and more cheesy puffs for Whiff! In this series there is a narrative that runs through all of the episodes which reaches an explosive crescendo at the end when we HAVE to win the Battle of the Bands because the future of rock depends on it! Do we do it? You\u2019ll have to watch and see!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bushell, who rose to prominence after jamming with Lenny Kravitz and appearing on stage with The Foo Fighters, added: \u201cI have never performed a speaking acting role before, so playing Emerald in Andy and the Band was the perfect first role for me. Working with Brian May was a dream come true! He is genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met. He let me play his guitar and gave me a few lessons when we were on set and made me feel really special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
