Wow, you people go to lots of gigs!

I barely get to one a year these days

Anyway, I'm taking three 14 year old girls (my daughter and friends) and my 12 year old son to Projekt Revolution at MK Bowl next week. Apparently that's Linkin Park, Pendulum, N.E.R.D., Enter Shikari, The Bravery & Inner Party System.

Don't really know any of the music, but we're in the VIP area (free tickets from one of the girls uncles). If the weather is ok, should be a fun day out.

duckwaffle · 21-06-2008, 14:51

I've yet to find out whether or not I'm going to see Radiohead in Manchester next weekend...

McMikey · 23-06-2008, 09:24

Just went to see bon jovi yesterday at the man city stadium. They did a good 2 and a half hour set. Awesome.

The feeling were supporting who I like but they didn't really get the crowd going. I think Nikelback were better when they supported their last tour.

No gig to look forward to now. Will have to go buy some...

Turns out we've got backstage passes

I won't recognise anyone!

Oh, of course Jay-Z is part of the line up

But would be awesome if Mrs Jay-Z were there

FFS Radiohead!!! They came on to do 3 songs for an encore and I have never left a concert so ******* flat!! They needed to rock out a LOT more by having more bends and ok computer songs!!! The Set list was ALL over the place with absolutely no momentum being gathered at all!! On the plus side, the sound for an outdoor concert this size was the best and most clearest I have ever heard and they did perform all the songs quite well.

My only "gig", if you can call it that, all month is Stephen Merchant next week in Norwich

MRS-Speed · 09-08-2008, 12:12

We've got - No actually I'VE got Paul Weller, then we've got Steve Coogan and The Scorpians (not together - though that would be interesting) (Its for his Birthday, and he had to 'put up with' Tom Waits for mine, not that theres anything wrong with the Scorps, I'm looking forward to constantly mentioning German Midget genes...).

Mikegray!!! You are a MILLIONAIRE mate!! What was kd like - I do be loving her.

She was actually very good this time, in stark contrast to last tour where she played a perfunctory 45 minute set. Seemed to really enjoy being there and kept us entertained for about 90 minutes. Nice mix of old and new, generally very enjoyable.

Not booked many more since my last update - Aimee Mann in Manchester and Sheffield, Brett Anderson at the RNCM and Paul Heaton at the Ritz. Would be going to Counting Crows / Ben Folds to see Ben perform, but not at those prices.

JonL · 10-08-2008, 09:33

Gutter Twins at Sheffield in August. I may weep with joy more than once.
Probably It Bites at Newcastle in October.

Thomasd · 10-08-2008, 10:36
