I’m very excited to see them. I rediscovered folk revival, and the Matlock pavilion has a nostalgic feel and nice crowds.

Added a few more:

Dreadzone and The Orb: Southampton, April
Blancmange: Southampton, June
Air: Southampton, June
Chameleons: Shepherd's Bush Empire in December.

Just added Gary Numan at Bournemouth, seen him doing the 2 classic albums before a long time ago but still absolutely brilliant live so couldn't miss it.

Not going to this as such, but it gives a man hope

Didn't expect them to be back so soon - last time I saw them was 2011 at Knebworth w/ Metallica, Megadeth & Anthrax

Just got tickets for Alice Cooper with Primal Scream in support in Manchester on 17 October!

[AnhBanhBao]

Got into tomorrow’s sale for Pearl Jam tickets, no idea on pricing or likelihood of getting anything. Fingers crossed.

[Pit Pony]

Just booked to see Tony Hadley at the Liverpool Philharmonic on 17th March. £80 for 2 tickets as there was no ticket master middle man price gouging.

Mind you we are near the back

I was never a new Romantic, but it's the sort of music my wife likes.

Excellent.

Pearl Jam Manchester this summer. Never seen them so I've splashed out.

Ticketmaster up to it's usual tricks. Tier one (the lower tier in the arena and therefore best seating) only available as 'special tickets'. Minimum cost I could find was £200. For Pearl Jam. This means that Ticketmaster has classified c.40% of tickets at an increased price, presumably to make up the money lost after it was ordered by law to cease it's re-selling tactics.

Got some for Dublin (outdoor Marlay Park). Have seen them in The MEN before, might go there too being honest as the sound is so much better.

Nice one. It's at the new Co op Live in Manchester btw. 3000 more capacity than the Arena apparently.

I signed up for the presale, joined the queue and got in early, thinking they might be a reasonable price. £323 for 2 tickets, absolutely ridiculous that is, left them where they were for that.

Got Manchester as well. £160 is crazy but never seen them and they don’t come here very often.

This was my thinking. I seriously doubt (hopefully I'm wrong) they'll be worth the money but I won't bother again at these prices and it's one of my last bands-I've-always-wanted-to-see ticked off the list.

[AnhBanhBao]

Got a couple for £160 each at Manchester as well
