Carnival of Madness tour in Feb 2016 for me - Black Stone Cherry plus Shinedown and Halestorm.

I'm off to see...
Alt J on Sunday
City & Colour in Feb
Newton Faulkner in March
Coldplay in June

Hopefully will get to see Above & Beyond Accoustic at Royal Albert Hall when tickets go on sale

I went to "The Deaf Institute" in "Manchester" on the 14th nov as the girlfriend got us tickets to watch "The Lovely Eggs" and they were excellent.

Alt J were surprisingly good last night at Manchester Central (GMex). Only know a few songs but they were class. Great visuals and a great performance

Seen them about 3 years ago,very good…look at you with the sausage roll thumb!

Barf holly has a very wicked dry sense of humour. What also makes watching a band enjoyable is the venue. Somewhere like "the deaf institute" is perfect. The Wedding Present were
playing at the Ritz on the same night, and it would've been great to see both bands on the same day. But sadly that didn't happen.

Manics performing Everything Must Go at Leeds Arena purchased today for May

Can't wait

I just got tickets for Lucius at Brudenell Social Club next April; discovered them supporting Jack White last year and fell in love with their sound. One to look forward to!

Ghost kick-off their UK tour tonight in Leeds at the Met, with the equally brilliant Dead Soul as support.

I saw "chastity belt" in Manchester in October and they were really good. Black Sail my favourite song by them and "no regerts" is an excellent lp. They have carried this work on with their 2nd LP. If they ever come back over here again I'd go and watch them again.

Carnival of Madness tour ...

Halestorm ... very good
Shinedown ... excellent, needed to be given more than a 9-song slot
Black Stone Cherry ... disappointing, not headlining material for Arena-size venues in my opinion

The wrong band topped the bill as far as I'm concerned.

Foo Fighters at Wrigley Field, Chicago last August. Hands down the greatest gig ever.... don't think it'll ever be topped!!!

Hexvessel - small venue UK tour next month and appearing at the Brudenell (Leeds). Psychodelic folk from the darkest, deepest forests of Finland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BEQKn_F46U

Cockney rejects 45 minuet salvo at North west calling was a blast !!.

I ended up sending the Mrs with no1 son - she was at Spike Island, so it seemed appropriate.

PE brilliant by all accounts and The Stone Roses, despite Ian Brown still not being able to sing, went down a storm; a good time was had by all, and I expect the Roses accountants are much happier this morning.

Ian Brown has never been able to sing, but he's always had a good rapport with the crowd, no matter what generation of fans are there. As a frontman he has a presence that is lacking in many of today's artists.

saw the undertones in York last week. brilliant,supurb. I saw them years ago with feargal but I like this new singer even better. softer irish voice but boy what a showman.
next up james in leeds, for about the 30th time, then the buzzcocks in York in october

Saw Jake Bugg in Manchester last night. Absolutely superb live.

I witnessed Cult of Luna (featuring Julie Christmas) performing "Mariner" in full at Damnation Festival at the weekend. Truly outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7YXzom4O1I Watch the video above. How the crown didn't suffer from epileptic seizures is a mystery.

By some weird stroke of good luck, I bagged 2 standing tickets for Radiohead in Manchester next July; seen them live a couple of times before, so I know what I'm in for - can't wait.

Ian Hunter last Saturday in Glasgow. Holmfirth this Sunday.

Got tickets to go and watch Grandaddy next March.

The Wedding Present are back in Hull next March.
