GnR fan club (nightrain) have a presale link, when you’re paying £140 for a golden circle ticket, what’s another £30 to join the fan club

i’ve bought those tickets for dublin and berlin in previous years, well worth the extra £50!
Thanks for your advice, though GF has decided she doesn't want to travel from Manchester to Glasgow to stand in a park for a few hours. Upon consideration I've agreed with her and we've spent the money on Black Crowes tickets instead. Lucky for us they're in a small local venue, not a vast arena. Boogie on!

was tempted to see ELO (again) in October but once we'd totted up the costs involved (reasonable tickets, transport, meal) it'd have been in the region of £350 eek At that point we, regrettably, decided to pass

Was in Hamburg last night to see Liam Gallagher perform 3.5 songs, annoyingly I was in Cologne when he also cancelled. Seems to be a track record with him and Germany.

Off to see Ariel Posen on Monday night.

A great first album and some nice little clips appearing on Instagram of some of his gigs over the past weeks.

So far this year have tickets for

The White Buffalo - somewhere in London but can't remember where!

Skunk Anansie - Brighton, same as last year and can't wait

Nick Cave - Rome, not my cup of tea but my girlfriend is a huge fan, and a week in Rome will be nice!

Big 'London' problem here - Mura Masa and Inhaler are both playing gigs on the same night. Who to go and see?

I saw him too and it was just as amazing as I was expecting! The songs from the upcoming album sounded good too.

Anyone else see Sabaton at Wembley last night? Amazing band and amazing devoted fans. It was a real pleasure to hear they sold out. There was so much fire and pyro that the venue was hazy!

Shed Seven and The Twang in Bournemouth this Saturday, following the cancellation in December.

Great Estate festival in Cornwall at the end of May. Razorlight headlining, also got Goldie Lookin Chain, Sugarhill Gang and Dick Valentine from Electric Six. Great little festival this is my third year going.

Liam Gallagher at Heaton Park in June. Hoping for good weather. Heaton Park has to be the worst venue, seen Oasis, Stone Roses and Courteeners there. After the last one I swore never again, but I'm going back for LG!

Then seeing Noel Gallagher at Eden Project a few days later, so going from the worst to the best outdoor venue IMO.

Awesome line up this year and plenty for those of us in our 30-40's.

Yeah, he was amazing, really looking forward to the new album.

I was near the front and could hear mostly the sound from his Two Rock, rather than the FOH system. The sound was fantastic angel

Saw Stereophonics on Tue night at Luxembourg's Rockhal. It's the first time they've okay end there, rather than den Atelier. They didn't sell out the Rockhal, but certainly a few times more concert goers than had they played den Atelier.

I've tickets for Siren's Call Festival in Lux on 27th June.
Foals are headlining.
It's a bit of a fall back from what used to be Rock A Field, which I don't think recovered after the promoters paid Muse a wagon load of cash a few years ago.

Just added Sleeper and Bluetones joint headline gig in September at Bournemouth.
Bluetones playing debut album in full and greatest hits, should be good.

Just got my ticket to see Bernie Marsden playing Ready 'n willing in May.

If my poorly leg recovers I'm off to see Massive Wagons supported by Mad Haven next week.
