I know this has been done before but I can't find the old thread so let's have a new one. What gigs have you got lined up?
I'm thinking UNKLE at Somerset house in July and if I can stomach the ticket price Radiohead at the Roundhouse in Camden. On Good Friday I'll be in Camden for Underworld which should feature a large amount of dad dancing.
It would have been Glastonbury as I have a ticket although my mother in law has arranged a family weekend away for that weekend (despite my telling her it was a weekend I couldn't do) so I now can't go 🙁
Tindersticks at Warwick Arts Centre next month.
Weezer at Brixton Academy
Long Ryders in May.
Best mate has new band. They're pretty ace.
On UK tour just now.. Brizzle tonight. But I'll see them on Sunday on Glasgow.
Kraftwerk 3D - Autobahn, Oslo, August.
Flag, 2 nights in london.
sean voorhees's 50 birthday all day bash at the temple of boom in leeds on easter weekend.
hopeful that drive like jehu and soul side will do an intimate manchester gig when the relocated ATP fiasco inevitably falls apart completely too...
Black Sabath, got tickets for Sydney and Melbourne.
Bingley festival
The Cure at MEN Arena in November
That's it at the moment, although in the last 6 months I've seen The Sisters Of Mercy, New Model Army, Killing Joke, The Cult.
And Ellie Goulding 😯
Frightened Rabbit and Teleman next month,yay .
Got Yak and Coeur de Pirate coming up as well as Saturday at Common People in Southampton.
Saw Black Honey last night at the Joiners amazing live
Muse in Glasgow, with a mix of anticipation and dread 😆 If it's as good as they used to be, it'll be worth the mental entry fee but frankly I doubt it will.
after a 'wonder what happened to..' moment, found that Graham Parker is playing in the local hall so off to that.
wwaswas is that at Concord 2? I've got tickets for that and The Icicle Works the following evening at Komedia. For a couple of days in May I'm going to be 20 not 50 🙂
Municipal Waste in London in June
\m/
Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Garden a week on Monday, re-scheduled show from January. Was hoping to see a gig in NYC when we booked the dates but never expected to see the Boss.
Had to break my "don't buy from a tout/re-seller" rule to get a ticket but it'll be worth it.
Paul Heaton tomorrow night Newcastle.
James in May, Manchester.
Steel Panther in October 8)
Impractical Jokers live!
And the Electric Frog festival in May

That will be brilliant. I saw REM at MSG back in 2001 and it was fantastically surreal
Up until Saturday just gone, I had been looking forward to The Coral at MCR Albert Hall. It was worth the wait, a truly to gig! My daughter-to-be enjoyed it too as Mrs K said she was kicking away throughout, unless she wanted them to sit up!
Looking forward to King Gizzard in Sept now, keeping fingers crossed White Denim come back soon. Noel Gallagher in Lytham in August.
Kendal Calling great festival in July
@ Steveoath
Best mate has new band. They're pretty ace. Brizzle tonight. But I'll see them on Sunday on Glasgow.
Ha, I just got back from this. Dialects were very good, Polymath were pure unadulterated win. Guess I'm looking forward to ArcTanGent festival now.
Mike Peters Brewery Arts Centre Kendal!! Kendal calling never again ,robbed and smashed kids everywhere has put me off festivals for life!!!
Went to see Half Man Half Biscuit in Holmfirth last Sat.
Been to see Frankie Boyle in Bradford this evening.
New Model Army in Holmfirth in May.
PiL in Holmfirth in June.
It would have been Glastonbury as I have a ticket although my mother in law has arranged a family weekend away for that weekend (despite my telling her it was a weekend I couldn't do) so I now can't go
Bugger that! I'd either tell her it's non-negotiable, the ticket has already been bought, or if she insists tell her she has to refund you the money because you refuse to be left out of pocket by her intransigence.
Anyway, what have I got in the future...
Well, I'm going after a Radiohead ticket, my usual gig-going mate isn't interested so I'll go on me todd and make a weekend of it, finding somewhere on Airbnb and catching the train up.
I've just had my tickets arrive for Ladyhawke in June at the Thekla in Bristol, I've got Besnard Lakes on the 31st at The Fleece in Bristol, Lush on the 7 May at the Roundhouse, Television on the 6 June at the Anson Rooms Bristol and Belly on the 20 July at the O2 Academy in Bristol, which is the day before my birthday, so it's a nice birthday pressy for myself having not seen them for twenty years!
Same with Lush, really rather excited about both of those gigs, Lush have new material coming, and Belly are recording new stuff, Tanya is just putting out a compilation of solo EP's, the last she's going to record, meanwhile concentrating on Belly for the foreseeable.
I'm considering getting a ticket for Larmer Tree festival this year, it looks like an interesting line-up, better than Green Man, and IoW Festival which I went to last year.
Shaping up to be a good year for gigs.
Half Man Half Biscuit, Southampton, May.
Steel Panther, Birmingham, October.
Terrorvision, Southampton, November.
Just come out of our usual Autumn/Winter gig frenzy so started booking for later in the year.
avdave2 - it is.
I'm going with my son [who *is* 20 not 50, the git 😉 ] maybe we could meet up?
Blue Dot festival at Jodrell Bank in July. Science geekery and dance music!
The Cat Empire in Edinburgh next month. Using it as an excuse to ride Berwick-Edinburgh and back. Trying not to look forward to that more.
Bugger that! I'd either tell her it's non-negotiable, the ticket has already been bought, or if she insists tell her she has to refund you the money because you refuse to be left out of pocket by her intransigence.
Unfortunately it is a surprise party (well a weekend in a big house in the Lakes – at least I am getting to have a day in a trail centre with all the nephews and nieces) for my wife's 40th and my father-in-law's 70th with my wife's brothers and families flying in from LA and Melbourne for it (hence the date having to be a compromise unfortunately). If I don't go I don't think I'd have a wife any more...
See you there wwaswas, I don't think I've ever knowingly met anyone from the forum.
I can't imagine at 20 having gone to a gig with my dad; it seems completely normal now.
Ouse Valley Singles Club tonight (weather permitting)
Springsteen Dublin and Coventry
Going to see the 3 Degrees on Sunday but not looking forward to it!
I AM looking forward to Richard Dawson at the HB Trades on April 10th tho
Chris Cornell at the beginning of May. Puscifer at the end of May. May is a good month.
Skipinnish, Manran and Trail West in Oban next month. Charity gig so good tunes and good causes.
john_drummerThat's it at the moment, although in the last 6 months I've seen The Sisters Of Mercy, New Model Army, Killing Joke, The Cult.
Blimey, didn't realise this lot were still doing the rounds. IIRC last time I saw the Cult was on the Sonic Temple tour.
Hopefully seeing AC/DC in June if Mr Johnson is allowed to perform
Looking forward to Shellac of North America in Cardiff and Explosions in the Sky in Bristol, picked up tickets for Sigor Ross this morning to! 😉
Hopefully seeing AC/DC in June if Mr Johnson is allowed to perform
I thought he was told he could never tour again?
Placebo in October - 20th anniversary tour 😛
Kiran Leonard
Nada Surf
We Are Scientists
Sunflower Bean
Springsteen's River shows at Manchester, Coventry & Wembley.
Would have liked to have seen Van the man @ Glastonbury Abbey, but away on holiday.
😥
Biffy at Bellahouston Park \o/

Under those circumstances, I think you get a pass! I'd be pretty gutted, having managed to actually [i]get[/i] a ticket, but needs must.
Missed out on the Radiohead tickets this morning, sadly, they'd all gone in less than five minutes, on the Roundhouse booking office, at five past nine I was number 15,650-odd in the queue.... 😯
I might try for either Sigur Rós or Last Shadow Puppets in Bristol, both are rather appealing.
Forgot I've also got tickets for Dar Williams at the Lantern, Colston Hall as well.
