28th March (Interpol) love this band and can not waite for this , support by Royal Blood should be good !!

April 19th (Hit The Deck Fest) with Brand New as the headline band , this was a great one day fest last year and all for £20, so bargain day out! But only Bristol/Nottingham

April 23rd (Blood Red Shoes) this is a great live band, brilliant drummer

Not really a concert as such but I went to the Jay Dee/J Dilla tribute night that happens yearly in London. His brother Illa J showed up and did a nice set of some of his and his late brother's music. I've been to most of these over the years and it's always a good night. Easy to enjoy even if you're not a die hard hip hop fan. Lots of rock, soul, jazz etc mixed in with the expected late Dilla catalogue.

4th April - EPMD, Nice & Smooth and Kwame at the Forum in Kentish Town. I'm looking forward to this night as it'll be the first time my older cousin and I are out on the tiles. He got me into rap and he was a massive EPMD and Nice & Smooth fan.

Other than that nothing planned.

Got tickets for:

Mar 28 The Cure Royal Albert Hall
Mar 30 Goldfrapp Portsmouth Guildhall
Nov 28 Gary Numan Hammersmith

Thinking about NIN at the moment but not sure I really want to go to the O2

Saw Mogwai at Royal Festival Hall 24 Jan as well, excellent start to 2014 gigs

There will be loads more this year without a doubt, hats off to you metallers though as there are some pretty full diaries on here already.

The GB gig is members only and sold out after a few minutes of opening online.

If you go to the website, you can put your name down on a waiting list for cancellations.

I believe you can still get AWB tickets as they are on all week.

That is an impressive list biggrin
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 cool

Already done Killswitch Engage on 2nd February at O2 Brixton Academy. It was an immense gig & the first time I dared to get up & personal with a mosh pit!
I'm 37 years old & I always shied away because I've his fainting fits at gigs before & I was worried I'd hate this one but it was so good! It really made the gig for me in a bizarre way.

Now looking out for some good gigs later this year smile

Taking the lad to see A Day to Remember in Cardiff on Saturday. Can't say I'm much of a fan but he seems to like them a lot so I'm trying to listen to as much of their stuff as I can at the moment - some better than others!

Also taking him to see Of Mice and Men in Brum later in the year. Oh and Fallout Boy too.

I'm such a cool dad. Ahem.music
