Music Gigs... who are you seeing this year?

[dysfunction]

U2 are doing a Joshua Tree tour. I would like to go to that but don't want to pay £200 for a ticket!

 

[sayward]

Green Day at 'Bercy'. Just now. One of the best performances I have ever seen!

 

[sayward]

OMG A7X has cancelled Milan tonight! Matt has laryngitis and we are due to see them next week in Paris!

 

[Bodhi]

Went to see an electronic act called Plaid on Saturday in Moseley. Properly small venue, probably 200 in there max, cracking night.

 

[sayward]

And now s roadie has been killed.

 

[Scouse]

I still think of Ryan Giggs shagging his brother's wife when I see this thread

I'm going to Wacken this year. It's gonna be sick. Emperor are doing a 20th (25th? I dunno) anniversary tour of their best album, and Mayhem are also gonna be playing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in it's entirety. So that's two of the best black metal albums of all time, plus Kreator, who are my favourite band, and a load of other stuff.

I haven't been to any metal shows for months so I can't wait.

OMG just booked Greenday in Sheffield and found out Foos are at Bercy the same night! That'll be 3x we have missed them!

 

[Billargh]

So since I last posted here I've been to see The Dillinger Escape Plan in Manchester, Black Peaks in Newcastle, The King Blues in Leeds and back to Newcastle for Touché Amoré.

Coming up I've got Empire, a Gojira / Code Orange / Car Bomb tour, The King Blues again, Blink 182 in the summer and hopefully Arctangent festival in August. Trying to get to at least 30 proper gigs this year, so far it's been an unreal year for live music.

Blackberry Smoke Tickets

Hopefully, going to tell the wife they are a pop group of some kind, she can come if she likes.

 

[sayward]

Going to see Russell Howard at the Royal Albert Hall tonight. Very excited, seems like a long time since I've had a good laugh.

What were The King Blues like?

What were The King Blues like?

They put on a mint show and the crowd always seems to be amazing at their gigs, if you can go to one, do it!

 

[sayward]

Have quite fallen for the lead singer of Disturbed! Very out of character for me. Usually like blokes with really long hair.....

My gf got tickets to see Avenged Sevenfold/Disturbed/In Flames recently. I would have rather hacked my fucking face off with a rusty spoon than gone but HEY BF DUTY and she's ace so fuck it I went. In Flames and Avenged Sevenfold were mind numbingly awful. Disturbed a bit less so, they were pretty good live even though I am not a fan in the slightest.

Thankfully I have decent gigs like Pertubator, Cold Cave and Drab Majesty to look forward to.

I am not your friend! But saying that all previous A7X albums and gigs have been better. But I love Disturbed.

Haha SOWWY That kind of music isn't my thing at all. If I go for metal I like grindcore/hardcore.

We have tickets for Green Day in Sheffield Monday July 3rd. So Foo Fighters are on in Paris the same day, we got priority booking cos we've missed them twice. Opted for Green Day and got tickets for Alter Bridge Friday 7th in a field in Switzerland. So OMG Linkin Park are touring! UK dates 3rd 5th and 6th. Now unless we time travel we cannot do it. Do these groups really have no other dates or do they do it deliberately!

 

[Shagrat]

Gorillaz, December 2nd WHOOP!

 

[sayward]

just been to Dublin for the weekend. Never been to Ireland. glorious. Then saw Alter Bridge Excellent.

 

[sayward]

Green Day in Sheffield last night. Very good. They've had to cancel tonight in Scotland because of an unsafe stage?!

 

[Gwadien]

Saw Radiohead tonight. Class.

Fuck sound regulations though

 

[sayward]

Just seen Alter Bridge at something called Z7 in Pratteln Switzerland. I was expecting a field. Was more like a car park. About 500 people there. It was excellent, the sound was better than any I've heard.
Next night it was Evanescence, not so good but absolutely packed.Full of Goths. think the Swiss are a little behind the times.

 

[Shagrat]

So today ive seen:

Sophie Ellis Bextor
Gabrielle
The Farm
Marc Almond and
Deacon Blue

and tomorrow its:

The Lightning Seeds
KT Tunstall
Icicle Works

[old.user4556]

Small piece of trivia: I was in a band that supported the lightning seeds back in '99.

I'm seeing Bon Iver in Edinburgh in September.

 

[Shagrat]

The Flaming Lips @ Rock City tonight, woohoo!

 

[Shagrat]

What a brilliant show! 15ft tall inflatable robots, mechanical unicorn being ridden through the audience and the lead singer singing space oddity whilst rolling around on top of the audience in a zorb ball!

 

[sayward]

Saw Alter Bridge at The Albert Hall last night. Brilliant. different.
