Behemoth on the 8th of Feb

New album hasn't grown on me like The Satanist but that was such a high watermark I am not surprised.

I'm seeing them in Glasgow, as with you I haven't fallen in love with ILYAYD like I have with The Satanist, but that's a modern classic.

Amazing album

I’m going to Brian Fallon & Craig Finn and would like to do the rest had I not agreed to wind the budget in a bit with the missus, I suspect we have very similar tastes. Just got the Twilight Sad newbie playing now as said wife watch some ste TV awards show!

An evening with Devin Townsend at Bristol St George's in April. Until recently his career had completely bypassed me since I last saw him with Steve Vai in 93. Looking forward to this.

Watched The 1975 for the 5th time at the O2 on Friday. Awesome show as always. Paid about £45 face value for standing tickets.

Now looking to go and see Drake there too, who is doing 6 nights at the O2. Standing tickets are £140 face value. What a joke.

[PurpleTurtle]

I'm a massive fan of live music, and fully get that artists no longer make anything out of recorded material, but 140 quid a ticket is a joke.

Still, demand and supply, if people want to pay it, they will pay it I guess. Too spendy for me.

(Unless it is The Smiths reforming, in which case I'm telling t'wife it's a total bargain!)

Anyone been to 229 the Venue near Regents park?

Got a show coming up there and it's one of the few London venues i've yet to see a band at....any good?

We saw The 1975 last night in Brum. I haven't been to heaps of gigs, usually a couple a year, but that was the most enjoyable show I've seen. Real spectacle, and the place was absolutely bouncing. Defo a band I wanna go see again at some point.

Art Brut at the Joiners March 2nd.
Not seen them since the early noughties. Should be another fun gig.

[Patch1875]

The Dandy Warhols tonight in Glasgow.

[Yetski]

Absolutely gutted, flying back from Azerbaijan on Saturday night to go and see Ozzy/Priest in Manchester on Sunday, only for Ozzy to cancel due to a cold. At least I'll get to see Thunder on Monday night before returning back on Tuesday

[V8mate]

Just booked End of the Road festival - cracking line-up!

[Chicken Chaser]

Booked to see Ryan Adams in April

How were they ?

Wildhearts at Blackpool Waterloo in may

Went to see Snapped Ankles last night... doing their bit for IVW. Outstanding as always - almost certainly my favourite live act of the last couple of years.

Supporting was a band called Diaphragm Failure - seem to have been around for ten years, but completely passed me by. Absolutely fking awesome; make Sleaford Mods look like a girl guide singalong.
