Music What concerts/gigs are you going to?

Went to Ash last night at the Ritz.

20th Anniversary of Free All Angels (the one with Shining Light and Burn Baby Burn on it).

They were proper good. Forget how many bangers on that album they have and then after that, they played a bunch more and hearing Orpheus live is one of my favourite live moments. I put so many hours into Burnout 3 (still do) and love Shaun of the Dead so that song hits so hard.

I ended up booking Muse tickets for Huddersfield next year, I've heard they're insane live and I've always been a fan. Don Broco and Papa Roach too in Birmingham next year and You Me at Six. Had a few gigs cancelled recently so not sure what's going on with American bands touring the UK for the rest of this year but they all seem to have cancelled?

As an aside, in the interlude they played a song and I'm sure it's a cult classic but I can't remember what it's actually called because I can't remember the end of the chorus. It's a female singer and she sings 'I fell in love with a....' and I really wanna say that finishes with 'teenage vampire' or something of that ilk (the syllables match up even if the words don't) and later on it's 'I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love'. Someone help cause I cannot find it anywhere yet I know it's a fairly well known song.

That’ll be cool. Love the Smiths but I really like his latest singles, Easy Money and Spirit Power and Soul. Enjoy dude.

He’s playing “You’ve got everything now”. He’s killing it, but the best part is this 10 year old kid with her dad singing every word

ahhh I want to see them in London. But I only want standing tickets, don't like going alone seated :( waiting for something to pop up on twickets.
 
This year was shaping up nicely. We saw Stick Figure, Collie Budz, and Iya Terra in June. Then Slightly Stoopid, Fortunate Youth, Pepper, and Common Kings in July.
I just learned my wife is dragging me to the Trans Siberian Orchestra two days before Christmas.

Found it



I love songs like this.

Anyway, I'm trying to find out what the deal is with Slam Dunk tickets for next year, was supposed to be yesterday they went on general sale but nothing on the website yet.
 
Upcoming, Chvrches, Modest Mouse, New Order/Pet Shop Boys and Manics/Suede.
 
Arctic Monkeys tonight, smallish venue (3k capacity), no phones allowed! I'm pretty pumped!
 
Went to a concert for the first time 2 weeks ago. Gorrilaz. It was brilliant. Though I'm gutted I had to leave so I missed the last half hour. Even more pissed that there was one last bus after that so I could have stayed and still made it home. Missed my 2 favourite songs too. Feck!
 
Going to see Robert Plant in a couple of weeks at the Ulster Hall in Belfast (which was the venue Zeppelin played Stairway live the first time)

I'll let you know how they're doing........I'll see them on Oct 29th.

Hoping they don't look too much like Grandads or I'll be feeling like one myself.

They played Malahide Castle Dublin about two years ago but missed them.
Do let me know how they're doing. I heard his voice still brilliant.
For what it's worth I'm a Grandad was actually one for the first time 2020 at 46!

Belated congrats Gramps! My kids are still too young for that to happen to me, thank fook.

You're young enough to be of use to your kids as a Gramps - I intend to be like my Dad - incapable.

Back on topic, I hope they play plenty of tunes from Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me.

Just a few from Disintegration also would be nice. Going with my eldest daughter, two different generations but the Cure span several generations so looking forward to it.
 
Saw Chvrches last weekend, very amazing.

New Order/PSBs in Seattle Friday and I'm very stoked for that.
 
Going to Damnation Festival beginning of November. Absolutely buzzing because of the special sets some bands are putting on.
 
Finally getting to see Pavement next week. I say finally because I've waited over 20 years to see them and bought the tickets over a year ago. I'm so fecking excited :)

I'm looking forward to the next 12 months. Anyone going to any of these? Any caftards from Vegas?

Would love to see Chrvches.
 
Kamaal Williams at the New Century Hall next Friday which has just (re)opened. Hope it sounds as good as it looks in there!
 
Considering booking for the Pixies next year but not sure I want to see them without Kim Deal.
