That is an impressive list 
I too am a big Interpol fan but do not like them live. Seen them a couple of times and I think they lack energy.
Brand New are excellent as are Blood Red Shoes
Ok I will lower my expectations for Interpol;) they are one of the few I have not been able to catch over the years , I have seen Blood Red Shoes five times and they have been great value, I have even been for a few beers with Steven the drummer, wish it was Laura thoughI too am a big Interpol fan but do not like them live.

Just 2 gigs so far this year but they've set the bar very high for those that follow.
St Vincent at Shep Bush Empire - the new album is great but the live show is on another level entirely. Seriously wow.
The Notwist at Village Underground - the lines between rock and dance music have rarely been so blurred.
Still to come are Broken Bells, F*** Buttons, Jonny Greenwood with BBC Concert Orchestra and many others I don't have tickets for yet.

this should be mayhem ,, Frank Carter is the most watchable front man on the planetshirt said:
Rolling stones on the 21st feb, coachella festival in april, hoping to catch some local bands whilst in LA.
Hopefully some other decent bands will show up locally.
stones were awesome. 3 weeks til coachella, can't bloody wait!Hopefully some other decent bands will show up locally.
thinking of doing rock werchter as well if my bank account can recover in time :-/
Quiet year for me at the moment, but I imagine a few more will be announced in the coming months.
March 13th - Mgla, Svartidaudi etc. London
June 7th - Mystifier, Bolzer etc. London
August 7-10th - Bloodstock at Catton Park, Derbyshire
November 1st - Damnation Festival, Leeds.
I was hoping for a festival abroad but can't really justify anything in the summer, may have to wait until later on in the year, if anything takes my fancy.

Can't wait, loads of my favourite old bands.

NIN O2 ACademy May 23rd
Wow - please let us know if he's still as angry as when they first toured. I saw them play in Manchester on their second ever night playing in the UK. Seriously thought someone was going to die that night.
The drummer was in a cage for protection and the number of times he threw his guitarist off stage into the crowd and was throwing water over the keyboards - I'd never and haven't ever seen anything quite like it. Made a Macc Lads concert look like kindergarten outing to the sandpit.
One of my most memorable concerts, and that would include being on/jumping off the stage with Kurt Cobain in the Duchess of York in Leeds.
Hope it's as powerful now as it was back then. Reznor is a musical genious, have you seen how many movie sound tracks he's worked on?

I'm off to see Elbow next week. Just picked up my ticket this morning!
Very excited. Never seen them before.

Aside from that, got tickets for D-A-D next month in London, and the last ever shows (supposedly) by Carter USM at Shepherd's Bush and Brixton Academy.
Otherwise, will probably pick up tickets for the Calling Festival gigs on Clapham Common.

Good effort, I was thinking about going to this although they sold out very quick - Have wanted to see Carter since they started playing Brixton again a few years back but never managed it. I only like their earlier work but I bet they're a great live act (and I'd really enjoy it!).Gompo said:

They're probably one of the best live acts I've seen, and it will be a bittersweet moment IF these are the last shows - never been to a bad Carter gig.Chances of picking up tickets at a reasonable price will be high for the Shepherd's Bush gig as, from what the band's management have reported, touts may have bought too many and are likely to take a bit of a hammering due to oversupply (which will be nice) - the rate Brixton sold out caught them by surprise.
It's nostalgia, this year...
Went to see Lloyd Cole at Shepherd's Bush Jan 31st.
Off to see "The South" (some of the Beautiful South) in Aldershot in June and then The Specials in Bournemouth in November.
Wanted to see Franz Ferdinand again, but they were on in London when I was away on business and now they're playing Somerset House when I'm on holiday!

Cheers, I will have to keep an eye out for tickets closer to the dates.
