Upcoming live concerts.

Am off to see them with my 11 year old daughter as part of a fathers day treat to myself. Also just got a couple of tickets to see The Afghan Whigs, IMHO one of the most underated bands of the last couple of decades.

Saw Erasure and Robbie Williams at the Ricoh arena the other night. Very enjoyable.

BLue Oyster Cult and Rainbow tomorrow at the O2. Sandwiched by The Sweet.

Very jealous of you seeing Kraftwerk.

Just like to say they were stunning. You could see the genesis of just about every type of electronic music in a 2 hour concert. Who knew 4 badly dressed elderly blokes could be so damn funky?

Cheap Trick tonight. Haven't seen them since around 1980.

Watching grizzly bear in November in Manchester. 2nd time I've seen them

Fleet foxes in November, which I am absolutely buzzing about. 4th time I've seen them.

Also going to Leeds festival with a few old shipmates from HMS Kent. Primary focus on that trip will be to get upside down and howl at the moon. Good job really the line up looks pretty poor tbh.

Just back from seeing Jeff Lynne's ELO in Glasgow and they were brilliant playing all the old classics plus a few new ones.
The problem with going to gigs to see bands of a certain vintage, is the fact that the most of the audience is also of a certain age and seem to have the need to get up and go to the toilet every few minutes thus disturbing you because you got a seat next to the aisle so you can stretch your old legs.
Then the fat burd in the seat in front decides to get up and waggle her booty so you can't see a bloody thing!!!!

Not so much an upcoming gig but a just been to. Saw Rodrigo y Gabriela last night up in town at the Roundhouse in Camden. They really are superb, modern metalhead flamenco guitarists who mix up genres to the point that they can't be put into one slot. I think a lot of the rock fans on this thread would like them live, they cover people like Metallica and Led Zepp.

And one of the reasons I go back to see them multiple times is that they are so, so comfortable on stage and within themselves. Songs change to a different song halfway through with a smile and a laugh between them, and they're superb musicians. If you ever get a chance, give them a go.

Hacienda Classical last night at The Castlefield Bowl Mcr, what a night!
the place was bouncing like it was 1991.
Loved every minute of it, just hope they do it again next year.

I'm off to see U2 at Twickenham on Saturday, Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour

Saw the original tour at several venues so really looking forward to this, also not been to Twickenham since a school trip many many years ago.

Just looked at getting Phil Collins tickets for his Newcastle gig, an eye watering £74 each.
Sorry Phil, no matter how much I love you I ain't paying that, specially as your voice has gone and your gigs are now a bit stale sounding.

Am going to the Hacienda Classical at Kew Gardens on the 14th - really looking forward to it, especially if this lovely weather keeps up; will be an amazing venue.

Know a couple that saw him at Hyde Park and his voice is still ok but he's doing most of it from a stool. Not sure I'd pay that price for that and he always use to put good shows on both solo and with Genesis

If your Into a bit of classic house (1989-1991) you'll love it Pieman.

Good video of here it in Mcr last week, you'll have to up the quality of it as its a bit hazy otherwise.

The Stranglers were brilliant the other night. Suberb musicians.

Just bagged 2 Ed Sheeran tickets from Twickets for one of his Newcastle gigs next year, daughter will be chuffed to bits and that's one part of her 16th birthday present sorted :thup:

Fair play to Mr Sheeran and his team, from what I've read they've really tried to clamp down on the touts with this tour, I got them face value which was a very pleasant surprise.
