I know I've become quite an avid concert-goer this past year or so, having been to four already in 2014 with another five coming up but how often do you go to any gigs or concerts? Are you a fan of live music? Seated or standing?
I've been to see the following over the years:
- Girls Aloud
- X Factor Live Tour 2010 (Joe McElderry's year)
- The Saturdays
- Justin Bieber
- Paloma Faith
- Gabrielle Aplin
- Taylor Swift
- Tom Odell
- Lauren Aquilina
- Ellie Goulding
My upcoming concerts:
- Katy Perry
- Cody Simpson
- The Saturdays
- The Vamps
- Lady Gaga
All of them bar two are from within the past few years, so it's definitely a recent thing. Still really gutted I missed Girls Aloud's last tour so I'm not letting myself miss anything else for now. It's kinda hard to pick a favourite as they're all pretty different - Paloma Faith definitely sticks out in my mind though, fantastic crowd interaction and excellent performances all round. Bieber/The Sats put on good shows but their interaction was so very scripted...
I've got my third Caro Emerald gig this year. She's just so wonderful as a live performer.
I saw Girls Aloud on their Chemistry tour, it was...okay. Saw Kylie's Les Folies tour which was totally spectacular. Also saw Matt Cardle on his Letters tour, alot smaller
than the other two obv. but really enjoyable.
I'd love to go to more, but I never have any money or people to go with I took my mum to all 3 of the tours I have been to. Thankfully, she liked them all.
Praying Anastacia comes to Scotland on her next tour, i realllllly wanna see her live.
I wish i could go to more concerts but lack of funds/happenings in Birmingham for the acts i'd want prevent me from doing so.
The two Gaga ventures were my faves obviously, especially being caught up in The Monster Pit at the last one. Night i'll remember more than any ever. Will be going to see her for a third time later this year along with La Roux for the third time.
As for preferences, i'd ALWAYS prefer standing just so you can get fully immersed in the experience (even if i'll be artRAVING from a seat this year )
I rarely have the money to go to concerts My last one was Nicki Minaj. I am going to a couple of festivals this year though where I will hopefully see a few acts, and I am seeing Little Mix next week too! Oh and I am seeing Iggy Azalea in London in September too which should be amazing hopefully.
Only been to one concert ever. yammywhammy. life peaked and it will only re-peak if I MEET jonna <333333
(Well, excluding that mini-concert at Euroclub in Copenhagen with Tim Schou and Krista Siegfrids~ AND EUROVISION ITSELF OF COURSE HA)
Never really been to concerts, been to quite a few intimate gigs, but my problem has always been that although there are quite a few arenas and stadiums nearby, but they're far enough to make it become an effort. Been to Leeds Festival twice, and I loved it, live music is just amazing. The atmosphere takes you away! And standing all the way, can't imagine sitting down for a gig or a concert...
That said I am seeing One Direction in 11 days
I've been to two X-Factor in 2011, so it featured the class of 2010 including Rebecca Ferguson () and Little Mix last February. Really want to go to more, but unless tickets are released around my birthday or Christmas I have to pay for myself and until I get a job that isn't feasible
I'm quite lucky that my mum appreciates most of my favourite artists so we're always going together and we're close to both Sheffield and Nottingham.
So far this year I've seen Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding, McBusted and Katy Perry with Sam Smith to come in November along with two artRave dates that I've committed to (starting to pay my way once I find a job as I don't take it for granted and am still quite money conscious about it all...would like to pay my mum back a bit for everything we've been to in the past three years).
Highlights have to be Taylor Swift (my ultimate favourite person), McFly always put on a great show, Katy Perry was spectacular the other week and Ed Sheeran was fantastic - no gimmicks, just him and his guitar, but it was so bloody good.
Never get standing tickets as queuing early is too much hassle and it gets too crowded, usually manage to get really good seats.
I've been to a fair few since 2004. 10 years since my first ever concert and I get to celebrate it by seeing them join with my 2nd ever concert, which was McFly, twice!
I've seen:
- Busted (2004)
- McFly (2005)
- Girls Aloud (2006) >> Won tickets via mtv! <<
- Britney Spears (2009)
- Basshunter (2009)
- Lily Allen (2009)
- Kelly Clarkson (2010) >> Such a Queen! Witnessing 'Sober' live is my life complete. <<
- T4 On The Beach (2010)
- Jason DeRulo (2010)
- Bowling For Soup (2010)
- The King Blues (2011)
- Keri Hilson (2011)
- Jessie J (2011)
- The Saturdays (2011) >> Thankyou Lee Wallaceeeee <3 <<
- Cher Lloyd (2012)
- Nicki Minaj (2012)
- The Killers (2012) >> Best concert of my life. I doubt this will ever be beaten! Standing. Front Row. Direct eye contact/physical contact with Brandon Flowers. Amazing. <<
- CHVRCHES (2013)
- McBusted (2014) x2 >> Going 2nd time tonight! <<
- Little Mix (2014)
Don't worry, I didn't remember all these off by heart (I forgot about a couple, oops), but I have an obsession with keeping my ticket subs haha. (I've misplaced/lost my Britney, Kelly C & Nicki Minaj ones though )
Really should have added Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus & Justin to this list this year, but ah well. Hopefully he'll come again soon (won't happen for at least another 4 years )
Oh and STANDING is the only option (unless it's a seated only concert!)
I've literally gone to none... Nobody in my group of friends is a pophoe like me
Last week I've been to Kelis and yesterday to Emmylou Harris.
I don't go to concerts that much (about 4/5 a year), just had two in the space of one week.
I saw Coldplay two years ago and have seen Muse twice, one last year and one five years () ago. They were the two bands on my bucket list I had to see live really, I would really like to see some more concerts, but I'd need the funds first. Sitting seats are the best, standing/mosh pits aren't really for me.
I may be working (alas not in the voluntary/see every act sense) at the Isle of Wight festival this year so may get a chance to tick a few more bands off.
So far this year I've seen Beyonce, Banks, Foxes, Metronomy, Rebecca Ferguson and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Seeing live music on a regular basis just wasn't a thing for me when living in Wales, and it's really proved to be one of the best things about moving away for Uni.
I'm going to Bestival this year. The lineup's so good that I doubt I'll get to see everyone I'd ideally like to, but I'm hoping to at least definitely catch Paloma Faith, Chvrches, Outkast and Basement Jaxx. Otherwise I've got Little Mix on Friday, Gabriella Cilmi next week, and then The Saturdays, Kylie Minogue and Katy B later in the year. La Roux and Kyla La Grange are also possibilities (tickets still need to be bought).
I've been to way too many to count - I have a ticket wall in my room of the ones I was allowed to keep, living in London really helps as you might imagine! especially for the up-and-comin' acts - like Tove Lo who I saw a few weeks ago, so good.
Best concerts would include Imogen Heap - so inventive! - Kanye West, Kanye West & Jay-Z (feat. Rihanna! Who - sidebar - still makes me go NUTS when she does surprise live appearances - she came on at Wireless last year too - yet I found her solo gig rather lame), Kylie (such a professional), Scissor Sisters (best stage presence EVAH), Alphabeat, Dragonette, Girls Aloud (I was a stan, sorry bout it), and I COULD go on.
I do always prefer to be front of standing as it's such a thrilling place to be, but for bigger gigs it comes with such commitment (started queuing at 10am for Watch the Throne) and can be quite uncomfortable (basically got squashed at the same gig. Plus was next to a woman with really spiky hair ). Haven't been to an arena gig in ages though, and I do prefer the smaller venues - London has so many great live venues.
Coming up I have Bright Light Bright Light (again! such a babe), Iggy Azalea, Katy B and of course the apex of my entire life in DAME KATE BUSH. I'm already preparing for my funeral the day after.

I really have not been to many. I've been to see Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé (*.*) and I really want to see Kanye, Clean Bandit, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and Miley (even though my chance for the latter two is pretty much over for the foreseeable future).
Also, I went to the X FACTOR 2007 LIVE TOUR, which was dreadful.
Are you planning on going to the Jayonce tour Griff?
I've seen Steps (2001), Britney (2004), Justin Timberlake (2007), The Saturdays (2009), Keri Hilson (2011), Nicki Minaj (2012) and Steps (2012).
The only act I've seen twice is Steps! How embarrassing! That's all the concerts I've ever been to.
I want to go to so many more concerts but can hardly ever afford them.
I've been to:
X Factor Tour (Leon/Rhydian/Same Difference year)
Miley Cyrus (Support: Metro Station)
Britain's Got Talent 2010
Olly Murs (Support: Wonderland & The Kixx)
Take That (Support: Pet Shop Boys)
Alton Towers Live (Olly Murs, Little Mix, James Arthur, Rizzle Kicks, Labrinth, The Vamps, Union J, Stooshe - but wanted to go for the first two!)
List of concerts I've been to now is pretty long I can't be bothered writing them out, since starting working with Ticketmaster the list has grown and grown Although the ones I've booked for myself this year so far are Paloma Faith, Kylie Minouge & The Saturdays
Err, I've got a few decades head start so it's unfair to list them (hundreds) but of the ones already mentioned:
Kylie (3 times)
Scissor Sisters (twice)
La Roux
Paloma Faith
Robbie Williams
Jon Bon Jovi
Simon Webbe (of Blue)
Def Leppard
Coldplay
Sophie Ellis-Bextor

I didntget Kate Bush tickets (dah!) and would do Gaga when she stops doing O2 and does Bournemouth
Most concerts Ive been to: Pet Shop Boys (and always the best fabulous marvellous)
Best: Madonna
U2
Texas
Beach Boys
Robbie
and others
Concerts I've seen:
17 January 2012 // Kelly Clarkson [opener: Matt Nathanson] (flawless )
28 April 2012 // Daughtry [opener: Safety Suit] (better concert than expected except for this drunk girl screaming "WOOO!!" right behind me at ear-splitting decibel levels)
26 June 2012 // Demi Lovato [opener: Hot Chelle Rae] (this girl rocked out. So amazing.)
20 March 2013 // Lindsey Stirling (good concert, and also the nicest soul alive. She signed my poster!)
13 February 2014 // Wild Cub [opener: Hands] (amazing concert, amazingly nice people who chatted with me after the show )
06 March 2014 // Imagine Dragons [opener: The Naked And Famous] (really good, kind of overwhelming though)
10 May 2014 // Tulip Festival (saw Sleeper Agent and they signed my CD )
Concerts I'm going to:
24 May 2014 // Boston Calling 2014 (Death Cab For Cutie, The Neighbourhood, and Frank Turner are my highlights. So excited!)
02 June 2014 // Bastille [opener: Wolf Gang] (can already tell this will be the best concert ever, fav band of all time)
28 June 2014 // OneRepublic [opener(s): The Script, American Authors] (amazing lineup, so excited)
Bumping this ~

17/05/2015 - S Club 7: Bring It All Back 2015
24/09/2015 - One Direction: On The Road Again Tour
The two italicised gigs aren't in the traditional sense. Lewis Watson's gig was part of a meet and greet, you just had to buy the album from HMV Oxford Street to get a wristband, and Luke was busking before every date of the Vamps tour (of which he was a support act) as a treat for his fans.
I'd say my favourite now is between Katy Perry and Lily Allen, couldn't pick a least favourite at all cause I've enjoyed each one so much!
I'm going to see the Manics perform The Holy Bible tonight
What concert do we all have planned for the remainder of the year / next year. I currently have the DREADED journey to Sheffield to see Years & Years. I'm trying to get my friends to come and see Zedd with me in Glasgow so I'm hoping to get that booked within the next week.
Chemical Brothers
Blew my mind. I was totally sober.
I'm off to see Måns Zelmerlöw in London in September. Can't wait!
I'm going to see Motley Crue in November on their final ever tour, should be a good one!
I'm flying to Liverpool in November to see New Order.
I am booking for Years & Years at Southend in October Possibly Lemar in September as well, haven't decided yet!
Marina in November
I also want to see Against The Current, I think they're in Glasgow in October but I need to see if I have money to spare nearer the time, and hopefully they'll still have tickets available
Fall Out Boy are also in the UK in October but their only Scottish date is in Aberdeen
My future ones:
24/09/2015 - One Direction: On The Road Again Tour
30/09/2015 - Hunter Hayes: Let's Be Crazier Tour
01/10/2015 - James Bay: Chaos and the Calm Tour
27/10/2015 - Years & Years: Communion Tour
Hunter and James on two consecutive days Never had them that close before, not complaining though. Concerts have become such a huge hobby for me over the past couple of years
S Club 7 earlier in the year has to be my favourite so far, mainly because I'd been wanting them to reunite for so long, the first music artist I ever liked and they pretty much define my childhood lol. It was an amazing night and Jo's vocals were on POINT
I dont think I have ever referred to a particular tour by the name that was given by the artist.
Have Jacob Whitesides on 22 September and One Direction on 8 October still to go this year~
When I was at the O2 ABC seeing Jake though, I saw posters for Bailey McConnell and Ella Henderson so I'm tempted to see if there's still tickets left.
I have Marina on the 28th Nov and I'm probs gonna just CRY <3
Waiting for Kelly to announce her UK Piece By Piece dates but am slightly gutted I won't be seeing Marina on her next tour!
Off to see Marina in Glasgow too and I am praying Kelly comes to the UK too
Dublin is going mental over Ed Sheeran - last night and tonight,
This year:
Hozier
Charli XCX
Meghan Trainor
5ive
Wolf Alice
Ariana Grande
Years & Years
Earl Sweatshirt
Nick Jonas
Maverick Sabre
Oh wow omg James Blake is playing in Dublin in October oh wow omg
I've been to way less gigs than I'd like to have so definitely would like to go to this one. Sigur Rós next week is exciting too *.*
Anyone else have any concerts coming up? I suppose we talk about it in the monthly thread a lot but I think this thread is good for that as well obviously.
I've been to some great ones this year like Little Mix and Years & Years. But this year is possibly the biggest year for concerts for me EVER.
This summer I am seeing Rihanna, Beyonce AND Britney all within the same 3 months.
Definitely go, Mattias!! Grab any chance you can to go to a concert is my advice

21 gigs at least this year is a new high for me *.*
I've been to Melanie and Halsey so far this year! Going to be seeing Melanie again later this year
So far this year I went to see Melanie Martinez in London! It was fab to go to a concert again as it had been nearly a year since I last went to one.
I have no future concerts on the horizon at the moment.
I saw Anastacia last month in Glasgow, my first concert in 4 years but tbh, it's quality over quantity.
My list
Girls Aloud (09/05/2009)
Katy Perry (18/05/2014)
Nicki Minaj (12/04/2015)
Madonna (20/12/2015)
Tori Kelly (01/03/2016)
Mariah Carey (15/03/2016)
Rihanna (27/06/2016)
Beyoncé (07/07/2016)
Also X Factor in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
Thank god they built the Hydro! I didn't even care about tours before then because they always left Scotland out.
If I had to pick a favourite I would say it's probably Mariah or Beyoncé. I was gold circle for Beyoncé and right up front for the part where she did All Night and Party, that was magical Mariah was surreal, I never thought I'd get the chance to see her! Always Be My Baby was my highlight
I don't have any coming up but I'm hoping Gaga announces something soon. Britney and Janet are top of my wish list, but Britney is kinda impossible unless she leaves Vegas I had tickets to see Janet but she cancelled
The Melanie relevance!! *.* I'm off to see her again next month <3

I've seen Charli XCX, Foals and Bastille before, so not many.
On Tuesday I'm seeing Bastille for the second time and I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited ─ my first concert for over a year and I've got brilliant seats . Plus it's with a friend (last time it with with my mum which wasn't exactly ideal considering the only song she knew was Pompeii ) so that's always good
[oh, and coincidentally BJSC winner Rationale are the support act so I'm super excited to see them as Fuel To The Fire is a real highlight of 2015 BJSC for me !!]

I couldn't possibly begin listing all the acts I've watched over the years. Having been an avid festival-goer in my late teens/early 20s the acts quickly piled up. That being said over the past 2-3 years my gig attending has rapidly decreased and has made my appearance at a February 2017 Bon Iver gig something that I FRANKLY CANNOT WAIT 4.
Bastille and Rationale were SOOOOO good
I am going to see Troye Sivan and Dua Lipa on Tuesday
I know 0 Troye songs and every song Dua released lol.
Dua is amazing live! One of the best I've seen this year actually.
Edit, posted my list again here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=180614&view=findpost&p=6070957
Bumping as I already have 3 concerts booked for this year which is practically unheard of for me!
4th March - The xx (Nottingham)
24th March - Craig David (Birmingham)
17th November - Little Mix (Birmingham)
Incredibly excited for all of them!
Going to The xx with Jade ^ which will be my first concert ever aside from going to Reading Festival with the family 3 times a few years ago. Very much looking forward to it

Joseph dear, stop trying to ignore this Friday
Trying to think back, been to quite a lot:
Girls Aloud (three times)
Sugababes
Alesha Dixon
Pixie Lott
Jessie J (four times, sorry BuzzJack)
Cee Lo Green
Mutya Keisha Siobhan
BANKS

Beyonce (by far the best of the lot, getting front row for the Formation tour and making eye contact with her several times, will never forget)
That's all that I can remember just now. Some amazing ones and some questionable choices from a few years back. Definitely glad I saw most of them live as most were fantastic (actually I definitely enjoyed all at the time, even Pixie).
Got JoJo on Monday too, so excited!
I got tickets to see You Me At Six in April the other day, I'm not sure if my friend is gonna be able to make it though, she said she wanted to go but would get back to me but they announced that Tonight Alive and Black Foxxes are supporting them and I got too excited so went and got them, I've not told her yet so I'm hoping when she does get back to me its to say she is up for it
Hoping to see Bastille at some point again this year - definitely one of the best nights of my life seeing them (both times) so at this point I'm just DESPERATE to see them live, doesn't matter where in the UK they are. I'm already saving up money for potential transport lmao :,)
There are some occassions where I go to live concerts, but I don't go very often.
Acts I've seen live over the years:
James Brown (August 2006. Greece)
The Waterboys (July 2007. Greece)
Michalis Hatzigiannis (2007. Greece)
Vasillis Lekas (August 2013. Greece)
Some concert celebrating the 90th anniversary of traditional Greek musician Mikis Theodorakis (August 2015. Corfu)
Patti Smith [Horses 40th Anniversary] (October 2015. The Roundhouse)
Happy Mondays [Pills N Thrills N Bellyaches 25th Anniversary] (06/12/2015. O2 Academy Oxford)
The Epstein/Water Pageant (February 2016. A live session in my local record store to celebrate its 5th birthday)
Primal Scream and Public Enemy (May 2016. Common People Festival)
The Land Girls (September 2016. O2 Academy Oxford)
Michael Kiwanuka (October 2016. Live session in my local record store)
Headline; Support (Place: Date)
Owl City; Mathew Koma (Heaven, London: Oct 2012)
The Hoosiers; The Carnabies (O2 Islington, London: Dec 2013)
Clean Bandit; Years Away (Great Hall, Exeter: Oct 2014)
Backbeat Soundsystem/ Imperial Leisure; Joe Biddle (The Hub, Plymouth: Dec 2014)
Muse; Marmozets/ Moriarty (Great Hall, Exeter: March 2015)
Coldplay; Reef/ Lavana La Havas (Wembley Stadium, London: June 2016)
The Hoosiers (2nd time); [No support]: (The Watering Hole, Perranporth, Cornwall: July 2016)
Against The Current; As It Is/ Beach Weather (Shepherd's Bush Empire, London: September 2016)
I've seen lots more live music but these are the actual ticketed official concert events I've been to off the top of my head, pretty sure that's everything (if it's not I'll just edit it in). Not that easy to get to many of the gigs I want to because London but we are getting a fair few more big acts in Perranporth and at Eden so I might try getting more at those places.
I think Dutch Uncles did a remix of Ain't It Fun by Paramore and ik Taylor from Paramore stans them but that's as much as ik
Previous concerts I've been to: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=180614&view=findpost&p=5548229

Can't wait for these! Seeing Ariana with Bal, Gaga with Bal & Jahq (and we'll be meeting up with Lotti as well *.* ), and Little Mix with Bal & Rob!
Great to hear Jacob! I was rather impressed by the 'Fuel To The Fire' EP from Rationale. Did Bastille do 'Flaws'? That's my fave of theirs
Got Lorde booked with Lottsey on 28th Sept and PVRIS with Lotti on sth like the 24th November, buzzinggggg Never thought I'd be so buzzed for Lorde but Melodrama has slain me.
(Also seeing Saara Aalto among other irrelevants at Bristol Pride in like 3 weeks *.* *.* *.* *.* *.*)
I have Paramore on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T THINK I'M EMOTIONALLY READY
I'm also going to my first Concert (excluding the 2010 Girl Guides Big Gig ) that's outside of Scotland in September to see Lorde, I mean it was only a matter of time before Lotti and I went to a concert together, I'm SO SO hyped for that, especially since Liam is coming too!
and then I have PVRIS with Lew and Cameron in November
idk if I've posted in here yet but this year I've already seen All Time Low, State Champs, As It Is, You Me At Six, Tonight Alive and GIRLI... I feel like I'm forgetting someone
Tonight Alive were supporting YMAS but I can't believe that by the end of the year I will have seen my top three favourite bands ever, live in the same year
Ooh how were All Time Low? Ever since release I've been thinking just how much of an EVENT Dirty Laundry live would be, certainly v jealous of you seeing them *.*
Just booked 2 PVRIS tickets *.* now to find someone ik to go with
omg yasssssss you won't regret it!!
omg!!! that's the sort of stuff dreams are made of tbh *.*
I looked up their setlist and I am beyond gutted they don't seem to be playing Last Hope though
I have tickets to Idina Menzel tomorrow in Manchester and my friend who was coming with has just informed me that she has to do something with her Dad.. the day before!
I have the luck of seeing Robbie Williams this week
I didn't go devastated!
Got a ticket to see Harry Styles next April, cannot WAIT
i now have FOUR upcoming concerts!!! lana, lorde, gaga and pvris! i'm still SO slayed by the fact i'm seeing my top 3 artists within 4 months of each other, it's been 4 years since i last saw lana as well <333
My upcomings are;
Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, Little Mix, Lorde, Dua Lipa and Katy Perry
Dua and Little Mix for me too, in November plus Harry next April as I said just above and The Vamps tonight at the Hippodrome in Kingston, a short acoustic gig to promote their album after a signing
I really wanna see Dua but I'm gonna wait until September when I can afford to buy tickets, hopefully there's still some available then
2017 has been great for gigs, like after I've seen PVRIS in November I'll have seen my top three/four bands this year *.*
I have Olly Murs' summer tour in Swansea in a few weeks. Also seeing Busted at Royal Albert Hall in October! Have never been to RAH in all my years of gig going but I'm told it's a spectacular venue.
Yeah I kinda wanna see Dua too but I'm in the same position as Lindsey, if I can get tickets I probs will but she's playing all in really awkward to get to places from Plym where I'll be, could she not at least do Bristol
I've got Lorde, LCD Soundsystem, Fleet Foxes and Perfume Genius coming up. Can't wait.
Saw Sampha, Kaytranada, Jamie xx, Solange and Frank Ocean at Lovebox last week. Such a good day, Solange was the absolute highlight though.
2017 - Forthcoming:
22nd August - Lana Del Rey (Liverpool)
still. freaking. out.
Went to see Tigercub, Honeyblood, Palace and Maximo Park in Truck Festival. It was great fun!
This year so far:
22/8: Lana Del Rey
26/8: Reading Festival (Muse/Charli XCX/Liam Gallagher/Blossoms)
I'm rly starting to get into going to concerts more often now <3 Lana was incredible as I've said about a thousand times on here anyway!
Reading festival was so so good, I loved it and I rly wanna go for the whole weekend next time *.* Muse were incredible as ever, Liam/Blossoms were shit and Charli was fab even though I only saw 20 mins but it looked like we weren't gonna be able to see any of her set so I was so glad with that! (Charli/HAIM/Halsey all clashed with Muse </3 but Liam finished early so we ran and saw some of Charli's set!). She legit did all my faves as well, that timing *.* (After The Afterparty, Boys, 3am, Doing It, the last 20 secs of break the rules *.*)
Just back from Creamfields. Dead.
Gaga for the first time in Manchester on Oct 17 which will be a f***ing moment *.* I was gonna see Little Mix on Oct 19 in Glasgow but I never really cared that much about that one anyway and we decided we'd rather make a bit of a trip out of Gaga instead so sold them. Probably gonna cry for the first time in a concert when I see her Katy Perry next June, also in Glasgow!
I'm also definitely gonna try and get tickets for Taylor and Zara (if she tours here) in 2018 and if Rih releases an album probably her as well, happy to accept anything you can give me to help pay for these x
I have 3 concerts coming up now which is the most upcoming I've ever hard Lotti's friend who can no longer go is selling me her Gaga ticket so I am going to see her in Birmingham and will DEFFO cry. I have PVRIS in Nov and Lorde next month. Really looking forward to both as both smashed what I thought with their recent albums <3
When I get student loan I am 100% saving like £250 so I can see Taylor however much she charges for her tickets (I have a feeling she is gonna take the piss but idc), because that absolutely 100% needs to happen and I'll go on my own idc. Then of my faves I only need to see Kelly and Selena, I can imagine the former touring in 2018 tbh.
I'm seeing Little Mix in Cardiff on the 30th of October. I've got the Super Star Soundcheck VIP Package.
I can't f***ing wait!
I got Paramore tickets for the hydro on January 20th
I'm just sitting here patiently waiting for October to see Zara!
Have to do Reading next year with the boy, as long as it don't co-incide with our wedding!.
Got 4 gigs coming up.
The National
Julien Baker
Brand New x2
I think these are possibly my three most favourite bands/artists so I am overwhelmingly excited.
The National are brilliant, my fiancee converted me to them and is planning on dragging me along to a gig. He's taken me on a few already.
We have quite a vinyl collection in the flat, about 95 percent of what he plays is on the format!.

Highlights this year (so far) are Lana Del Rey, Zara Larsson, Michelle Branch, R1 Big Weekend, R1 Teen Awards, JoJo, Emeli Sande, Kristin Chenoweth...
PVRIS this month!!! so excited. also James Arthur too, don't ask why x
I've always wanted to see the xx, they must be incredible live.
Saw Public Service Broadcasting last month in Norwich, hoping to see Everything Everything early next year. Haven't got many gigs lined up at the moment sadly! : (
Very jealous of The xx, Jade! My friends went to see them at Glastonbury but I went to Lorde because they clashed 💔

BETSY (My boyfriend is dragging me to this, but I do like her)
Anne-Marie

i’m looking forward to seeing steps more than i was for adele 😬
So my list of concerts for the year has shot up in the past few weeks... I now have 13 (!) upcoming gigs :')
14/03 Paloma Faith
22/03 Anne-Marie
05/04 Declan McKenna
12/04 Harry Styles
28/04 The Vamps
15/05 Nadine Coyle (VIP meet & greet !!)
18/05 Rita Ora
10/06 Demi Lovato
11/06 Shakira
12/06 Camila Cabello
14/06 Katy Perry
22/06 Taylor Swift
24/08 Britney Spears
The run of Demi to Katy all happening within 5 days will probably finish me off but I don't even care
I’ve literally just got Stereophonics in June 2nd. How boring of me.
Oh yes, seeing Kendrick and James Blake at Birmingham's Genting Arena now takes my total number of concerts up to 15 I think. I love how that's only two more than Joseph's planned concerts just for this year I currently have no others planned for 2018 right now.
March:
Paloma Faith
Kasabian
April:
Sam Smith
May:
Nadine Coyle (Meet and greet! I'm nervously excited as I'm going to this one on my own!)
The Shires
How much does Nadine Coyle pay to get people to meet her?
I've got Sigrid, Camila Cabello, M.O, Britney and Demi this year!
Britney, M.O and Demi are huge faves so I couldn't be more excited
how do people take time off of their schedules to go to 80 billion concerts
I'm so down rn in regards to concerts as there's at least four gigs now I want to go to but it's looking very unlikely that I'll be able to
Pretty sure I will be seeing Within Temptation this year *.*
I just have Taylor atm (and I'm hoping Camila is supporting which would be another artist I wanna see ticked off) but that being my only upcoming gig is worth it tbh <3
Most of the artists I want to see live aren't touring atm and I'm gutted I can't go to reading & Leeds this year, the Saturday lineup looks sfg.
11th May - Nadine Coyle (VIP) [O2 Institute, Birmingham]
16th May - Rita Ora [O2 Academy, Birmingham]
03rd June - Steps [Parc Y Scarlets Stadium, Llanelli]
18th June - Katy Perry [Arena Birmingham, Birmingham]
25th August - Britney Spears [The O2 Arena, London]
31st August - Britney Spears [Genting Arena, Birmingham]
Recently saw:
Seth Lakeman (08/12/2017. Royal Albert Hall. He did a solo performance before supporting Robert Plant's concert)
Robert Plant (08/12/2017. Royal Albert Hall. He performed some songs from Lullaby And The Ceaseless Roar and Carry Fire, plus Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders came on stage for two songs [Bluebirds Over The Mountain and 2000 Miles]. The best part was when Plant performed the Led Zepellin classic Whole Lotta Love, 'twas a blast witnessing this moment. After the concert, I bought CDs of Seth Lakeman's Ballads Of The Broken Few and Robert Plant's Carry Fire)
This Is The Kit (28/01/2018. Live at my local record store. Some of the songs I heard them play included Silver John, Moonshine Freeze, Bullet Proof and my favourite Hotter Colder. After the live acoustic session, I got my copy of Moonshine Freeze on CD signed by the lead singer Kate Stables)
Dua, Rita, GIRLI and Steps
Got Imagine Dragons next Saturday which will be my first concert ever
I'm going to see Demi and Katy in June. Yas
Went to see Everything Everything last night at O2 Academy Leeds, they were really good! Although I've had their songs stuck in my head all day now
Yas Pete *.* I've seen them live at Reading Festival twice, they're great.
I'm going to see Young Fathers in LDN in a few weeks!
I'm hyperventilating at the fact I am unknowingly going to see Hailee Steinfeld support Katy Perry. RIP me.
I have the following coming up;
23rd March - Jessie Ware [Manchester Apollo]
24th March - Sigrid [Manchester Academy 2]
26th March - M.O [Camden Assembly]
6th June - Camila Cabello [Birmingham O2 Academy]
18th June - Katy Perry [Birmingham Arena]
26th June - Demi Lovato [Manchester Arena]
18th August - Britney Spears [Manchester Arena]
M.O, Camila, Katy, Demi & Britney are all some of my absolute faves right now so I cannot wait
I like Sigrid and Jessie but they're more of my boyfriend's choice.
Kylie Minogue, 26th September at the O2. It will be my sixth time.
Maybe Jessie Ware on the 28th of this month, in the process of trying to make that happen...
Saw Lily Allen tonight at Gorilla and she was so f***ing good. Brilliant gig and she’s so genuine and funny. It was really lovely.
I should be going to see Brooke Candy in a few months still gobsmacked her team are giving her a UK/Europe tour tbh
This month I’ve seen Stereophonics in Cardiff and off to see High Contrast tomorrow evening
Young Fathers were amazing at the Roundhouse tonight, finished the set with Shame - Pavel it's a shame you couldn't be there!!

So hyped to see Dagny. Wearing Nothing is such a banger

Seeing Stereophonics in a week!
Going to KFlay in October
I've been to a decent number of gigs, but don't get to them as often as I'd like now that I've got a wee one and a lack of babysitters. They also vary wildly in genre, but variety is the spice of life and all that.
Travis
Meat Loaf (2 tours)
Eminem/Marilyn Manson/Papa Roach and various other late 90s rock/rap artists at Gig on the Green in Glasgow.
Stereophonics
Chumbawamba
AFI
Westlife (this was not my choice - it was a present for my partner of the time. I really should have known then to get rid of him).
Spice Girls
Girls Aloud (2 tours)
X Factor (3 tours)
Kerry Ellis
Robyn
Leona Lewis
Kylie (2 tours)
Lady Gaga (4 tours)
Steps
I went to all points east festival yesterday and it was f***ing incredible *.* i saw the xx, Lorde, Lykke Li, Stefflon Don, Rex Orange County & Sevdaliza *.*
Lorde was off my highlight and I'm so glad I've finally got to see her live, green light was something else 😍😍 The xx slayed and I didn't know much of Lykke before last night and I'm now obsessed with her *.*
I am so jealous Sam - The xx, Lorde and K Á R Y Y N all playing in one night glad you had a good time!
Basically all of the artists on that list Sam :cheeseblock:
I really hope I'll be able to go see Lorde live whenever she's next touring in the UK, wanted to go there with Jade during her last tour but none of the dates/locations worked out unfortunately!
How times have changed! Growing up it was always AICC that artists did if they were doing a second Scotland show. Used to piss me off no end that the choice was Glasgow or Aberdeen and not Edinburgh as Edinburgh was the easiest/quickest to get to!
Strictly speaking you don't really need a ticket to go to the Rita Ora gig in Dundee. It's in a park on the waterfront. Just stand the other side of the road and you've got it for free not that the locals do that at all
I'm sure the AICC was the only Scottish Date on a Cascada tour one time
I can't think of a venue in Edinburgh actually suitable. They could host a theatre tour but a proper Arena tour or a tour taking in decent sized venues wouldn't have anywhere I can think of to go. Edinburgh lacks a venue like the Armadillo.
Just got back from a crazy day which revolved around seeing Why Don't We at Shepherd's Bush Empire this evening. Preceded by a trip to their hotel (the wrong hotel first... then a dash across London to the correct one lol x), hanging around by the stage door and getting a fist bump off my fave, Jack Avery *.* the gig was so much fun - interestingly the first time I've ever bought a resale ticket as I missed out on the original sale! It was very expensive but so so worth it. Their set was 20 songs long (including my current song of the year Trust Fund Baby ), although all were quite short so it was an hour long in the end, finishing at 9:40 (quite early for a gig!). On such a high right now and I can't wait until they come back to the UK again - aiming for VIP tickets next time...!
I'm at a sparks and beck gig. Sparks were brilliant only been waiting 44 years to see em....,
beck next
Went to a festival and got to see Lifehouse perform! It was nice hearing the entire audience sing You & Me
Stereophonics were amazing last night, such a good band, so glad I’ve seen them. The only song they didn’t do that I wanted was Pick A Part That’s New but all the other essentials were there!
Can't wait to go to the IOW Festival this year, such a great lineup.
I'm especially looking forward to seeing Kasabian, The Script, Tom Grennan, Liam Gallagher, James Bay, Blossoms, Kodaline, Tokio Myers, The Killers, Manic Street Preachers, Hurts and Ten Tonnes!
Saw Scouting For Girls yesterday at our summer ball, amusing enough because I was drunk and they have some bops
Update:
Charli XCX, Bastille, Rationale, TYDE, James Arthur, Ella Henderson, PVRIS, COIN, Kodaline, Aine Cahill, Tom Walker, The Beach, George Ezra, Lily Moore, WALK THE MOON, flor, Declan McKenna, Bad Sounds, Ten Tonnes, The Vaccines, Pale Waves, RAT BOY, Tom Grennan, Sundara Karma, Marmozets
Went to see Miles Kane, alt-J and Arctic Monkeys live
Jealous!! Did alt-J do 'Every Other Freckle'?
I'm seeing Little Mix in Swansea today. I'll have to watch the England game on a coach full of kids (how exciting!).
It's been ages since I updated my full list but I wanted to do it because a huge milestone is fast approaching...

I think you've managed more cancelled gigs in 13 years than I have managed in 40
Just booked Young Fathers, Blaenavon, and Parquet Courts tickets for this Autumn.
An amazing thread I want to do mine like Mr Averys !! Will post soon
Love your list Joseph, 100+ gigs is insane btw, nitpicky moment, the cancelled Adele show should be Wembley Stadium, not arena
Oh my at you approaching 100, Joseph *.* I've only just passed my 50th concert! #lee
I'll post my updated list in the next post
Oh my! How many have you been to in total would you say?
I definitely wish I could go to more concerts than I do, but sometimes I have to take an "I'll see them another time" approach if I'm a bit short of money. :') I do have some slight regrets about tours I've missed out on though, for instance I'd have loved to have seen Rihanna on her Last Girl on Earth and Loud tours.

It feels like I've been to more concerts than I actually have! Hoping in 2019 to branch out a little more and go to concerts by more of my favourite artists. And I've deliberately decided against seeing The Vamps in 2019.
Well it took me quite a while to list all mine down - I know some may not be classed as gigs to others but they were to me. Where there is a strikethrough means I had to cancel or not attend the show. I have only listed support acts where they were actually decent or noteworthy, and also indicated in brackets if the show was a special one e.g. filmed for TV. Some impressive lists already I must add (yours in particular Jay!)

My friend bought us Mac DeMarco tickets for October in Manchester, SO incredibly excited !!
EDIT - also really considering going to see IDLES when they come to Birmingham, on top of Blaenavon, Young Fathers & Parquet Courts, that makes a pretty full schedule for this Autumn
I've never actually collated all my concerts before so here we go:
18/03/08 ● The X Factor Live Tour (Birmingham)
23/12/09 ● Miley Cyrus: Wonder World Tour (Birmingham)
26/06/10 ● Britain's Got Talent Live Tour (Birmingham)
15/05/11 ● Olly Murs: Theatre Tour 2011 (Birmingham)
30/06/11 ● Take That: Progress Live (London)
06/07/13 ● Alton Towers Live (Staffordshire)
^ I went to this for Olly Murs and Little Mix, crazy now that the latter were only fourth on the bill - lower than Rizzle Kicks at the time
04/04/15 ● Nicki Minaj: The Pinkprint Tour (Birmingham)
31/05/15 ● Maroon 5: The Maroon 5 Tour {lol} (Birmingham)
27/04/16 ● Melanie Martinez: Cry Baby Tour (London)

17/11/17 ● Little Mix: Glory Days Tour (Birmingham)
02/12/17 ● Gorillaz: Humanz Tour (Birmingham)
09/02/18 ● Kendrick Lamar: The DAMN. Tour (Birmingham)
Last year was a busy one for concerts *.*
The best support acts I've seen are Francis and The Lights (for The xx) and James Blake (for Kendrick Lamar)
((also saw Daisy Dares You at my school library and Nina Nesbitt at Gadget Show live xx))
I really need to see BROCKHAMPTON, Coldplay and Lady Gaga live one day.
Nice list Jade! I agree I really wanna see Coldplay, and Craig David - I bet he was awesome live! I'd like to see George Ezra live as well but his tour sold out so quickly recently that that's gonna be almost impossible now. I'd love to see Take That, Kylie and also Pharrell Williams if he ever tours again as I had to cancel to see him last time (although I imagine he needs another 'Happy' size hit for that to happen).
Craig David was one of only three concerts I've ever (willingly) been to!
14/04/2016 - Muse - Drones World Tour (London, O2 Arena)
01/09/2017 - Craig David - Following My Intuition Tour (Southampton, Mayflower Theatre)
27/04/2018 - Manic Street Preachers - Resistance Is Futile Tour (Birmingham, Arena Birmingham)
I've got Kylie Minogue on the 26th September at the O2, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor on October 3rd at the Royal Festival Hall.

January 18th - Miz Cracker
February 1st - Hayley Kiyoko
April 14th - Adore Delano
May - RuPauls Drag Race Werq The World Tour
I think i might try and get Stand Atlantic tickets for April too and there's a chance I'll be going to see Cher with my friend if her mum can't go with her
Suede in April
I might go to see former Suedeonian representatives FUR in a couple weeks as they are playing in Brighton.
Do Buzzjackers think concerts are overpriced? I haven't been to one for years. My late daughter saw Nicole Sherzinger and think she paid about £50 about 7 years ago. I ask because there's a thread on DS about it at the moment and most posters say there are overpriced. What do you think? I think they're on a par with theatre tickets really. We want to see the Tina musical in the West End but the best available seats today are well over £100 for the week after next when it's my wife's birthday. I'd pay up to £60 maybe.
26/02 - Troye Sivan - The Bloom Tour - Birmingham - O2 Academy
09/04 - Shawn Mendes - The Shawn Mendes Tour - Birmingham - Arena Birmingham
25/05 - Rita Ora - Phoenix Tour - Birmingham - Arena Birmingham

As a fan for 7 years, loved it, got to be front row and they played plenty of faves, including finishing with Transatlanticism which made my life. x
Did they play "Soul Meets Body" ?
That's my favourite of theirs, number 1 on my chart in October 2005. 14 years ago almost!
Also - love the 02 Academy at Bristol, saw Foals there among many other bands like Friendly Fires. Usually between day shifts and feeling unnecessarily hungover/knackered at work.
Another one to add to my 2019 list... Mariah Carey at the Royal Albert Hall *.* I'm going with Joseph!
I've only been to the Royal Albert Hall once before, way back in 2002 for a Christmas Carols concert that my parents took me to, but my memory of being there is hazy... so I'm sure this Mariah concert will feel like my first time there tbh!

My history of concerts: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=180614&view=findpost&p=6070957
I'm just gonna chance it here cos why not 🙊 I'm not hoping for much tbh but if there's anyone here who happens to be in Ireland today and likes Massive Attack and would be open to seeing them (and me) live, I wouldn't mind hearing from you cos I have 2 tickets for tonight's show but the other person is reluctant to come now and I don't want to drag him along.
Ok thanks (don't be surprised if I'm asking the same question about Dido in a few months)

Actually getting round to talking about this here. The Midnight live was actually one of the best experiences... ever. The saxophonist was insane (like, every time he started playing I was in awe), the vocals were beautiful, Tyler sounds just as good live as in studio, Nikki Flores joined for Jason and a couple of others, the live electronic stuff was really cool, really interested in seeing bands translate electronic stuff into a live setting and they did it so well, live drum triggers, launchpads, keyboards, the works. Savoir Adore were fantastic support and also had a great setup.
Also 2 BJSC entries in one concert! Gloria was ridiculously amazing to hear live. Nearly 3 but they didn't play The Years, understand why they didn't because it's a long one as much as I love it and they'd probably have had to sacrifice a song to fit it in. The main ones missing were The Years and Lightyears but other than that they played a perfect set. (https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-midnight/2019/scala-london-england-3b923ca8.html for details) Idk I think out of this incredible list of concerts it's near the top as one of my favourites. So much so that when they said they'd be back in November I went and got tickets for them again the following day- I've never done that before, usually as much as I love the experience I feel like there are so many artists I want to see and when I've seen them once that's a tick off the list- not that I wouldn't like to see them again but the money/ travel for a gig can be tough to do too much of. In this case I just want to see them again already. Got a few clips on my phone (not too many and mostly short ones bc I prefer to be in the moment/ don't like holding a phone up the whole time) but the quality was surprisingly good (on my previous phones the audio would just be garbled) and I still get chills watching some of them back.
Also discovered a great band for support and the fact Tyler Lyle does solo stuff ( ) because he did a solo song The Midnight had remixed which I wasn't aware of since the remix wasn't on streaming services (found it on Bandcamp and bought it x).
ariana @ pride is gonna blow my actual head off. ignoring the controversy regarding the whole thing i can’t wait to live my best life. any other bj’ers there ??
y'all crazy.
outside of the Eurovision related activities I have only attended one solo concert ever. iamamiwhoami in May 2013
Saw Willie J Healey perform live last month and he was so fun live.
I have five concerts booked for 2019 so far! One day I would love to compile a comprehensive list like some of you guys but I've no idea how I'd even find out the exact dates for shows predating my current email account

Almost a month ago now, but had the pleasure of meeting and seeing Jack Walton unexpectedly in a club when I was down in London. He was fantastic and can't wait to see him again some time if he's ever up in Scotland Have my Rita date on Wednesday, and I've just recently booked tickets for Ten Tonnes, Sigrid and Sam Fender.
I've been making my way through Drag Race from the beginning pretty rapidly over the past few weeks now too, so hoping to catch some of my favourite queens when they're touring, starting with Trixie next year! (nobody will come see Bianca in September though )
Half-way through my concerts for this year. It's been brilliant so far
30/03/2019 - Watsky: Complaint Tour - Manchester Academy
21/05/2019 - Blackpink: Blackpink in Your Area 2019 World Tour - Manchester Arena
15/09/2019 Ariana Grande: Sweetener World Tour - Arena Birmingham
21/10/2019 Little Mix: LM5 Tour - M & S Bank Arena
This time last week I was watching Blackpink. They were so good, possibly the best concert I've ever been to. Take me back
I'm totally into the EDM scene currently, its very rare you'll find me at a concert other than Taylor Swift
Festivals/gigs I've got going on so far this year:
21/06 - A Summer Story in Madrid
28/06 - Belsonic Sound in Belfast
25/07 - Tomorrowland in Boom
24/08 - South West Four in London
07/09 - Lollapolza in Berlin
12/10 - DLDK in Manchester
16/10 - ADE in Amsterdam
So busy busy busy haha
(Hope this is okay to post in here since it isn't really "concerts')
Trying to convince a mate to see Real Friends w/ Grayscale and Belmont with me in Southampton.
Wish me luck, he doesn't like pop-punk
Okay so the concert/tour bug is hitting me hard this year
19/01/19 - Strictly Come Dancing live // Arena Birmingham
07/03/19 - Here Come The Girls (Dianne Buswell, Amy Dowden + Chloe Hewitt) // Alban Arena (St. Albans)
15/05/19 - Strictly Come Dancing The Professionals // Opera House (Blackpool)
15/06/19 - Spice Girls // Wembley Stadium (London)
15/10/19 - Ariana Grande // O2 Arena (London)
29/11/19 - The Chemical Brothers // Arena Birmingham
14/12/19 - We Love The 90s // Resorts World (Birmingham)
29/02/20 - Lana Del Rey // Resorts World (Birmingham)
Strictly related tours became mine and my mum's 'thing' + Spice Girls were EVERYTHING I could've hoped for. So excited for the remaining ones!!
Meeting Dianne Buswell after the Strictly Pro tour was definitely a highlight of the year too, she was lovely
I've somehow never been to the O2 arena before. Ariana seems like a pretty fab place to start that journey with!
I’m going to see Mutya Buena on Thursday and I cannot wait. It’s gonna be a hot mess express and I’m beyond excited
Saw a lot of bands perform last month.
Imelda May, Kaiser Chiefs, Eddie Vedder, The Who, Ride, Michael Kiwanuka (for a 2nd time) and The Cure.
I've had such a huge year regarding gigs this year as my best friend works for an event company and every now and again just messages me saying she can get tickets to so-and-so.
So far she's got me tickets for;
- Nicki Minaj
- Spice Girls
- BlackPink
- Kylie Minogue
I also went to Glastonbury again which was full of some of my favourite artists, adored.
Back from seeing The Cure in Glasgow last night, and they were ruddy fantastic. I've wanted to see them live for ages, and they did not disappoint. Their set was a great mix of cuts from the entirety of their career (including a few songs they've only started playing again recently, like "Burn"), plus all their big hitters - their encore was 7 of their biggest songs one after another. Absolutely wonderful night, definitely one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
The support acts - Mogwai, Twilight Sad & Joy Formidable, weren't too bad either.
Time to update my full list (and it's miles back in the thread so I'm making it easier to find x) 2019 another record-breaking year this year *.*

Going to see Vistas in October, then going to see Embrace/Cud/Starsailer in the new year. I've never heard of Starsailer and I know Cud have a fanbase exclusively of over 50s so that one's going to be interesting.
Four to the Floor is a bop
Wow, Joseph.
You must have gone on a lot of adventures.
So I have just booked for my first gig of 2020 next year: The Boys Are Back Tour in Cambridge at the Corn Exchange on March 16th. It's Five (the Scott/Ritchie/Sean lineup), A1, Damage and 911 and I'm pretty buzzing to relive the boybands of my youth
I saw Inna last night and she was incredible. She has a great on stage presence and the live band gave her songs a much rockier edge. She sang loads of my favourites so it was great to hear them live and she had an amazing backdrop and visuals. I would definitely see her again and I’d recommend her concerts to other people.
I saw Swim Deep just over a week ago on the first date of their tour. They seemed to be well aware of the fact that it could be their last tour. As the album has flopped, I suspect that may be the case
I was also due to see Man And The Echo last week but the gig has been postponed until February. I now know why. They are supporting Divine Comedy on their tour. As I am going to the Brighton date on Wednesday, I get to see them after all. I have described Man And The Echo as like a cross between Divine Comedy and Franz Ferdinand, so this support slot makes sense. I am also seeing Richard Hawley on Friday, so it's a busy week.
Caroline Polachek and Charli XCX over two days at the end of the month might end me~
I’m at Little Mix a week on Thursday.
Also seeing Xtina alone in Manchester in November? Anyone on here going I’m having my first experience of one alone not in my home city but I’m low key terrified.
I understand how you feel Jordan Lee, but like Tombo says, the idea of going alone probably seems worse than what it'll end up being like! Hope you enjoy it!
Having said that(!), I never have the nerve to go to concerts alone... I wish I did, because there have been times I've missed out on concerts due to fear of feeling self conscious (I've missed out on seeing artists that I know none of my friends particularly like, or perhaps they couldn't afford to go, or the date of the concert wasn't ideal).
I've only ever been to one concert on my own (Spice Girls in 2007, which wasn't on purpose, it just worked out that way) and I was sat in between two different couples! I felt a bit awkward and the time seemed to go so slowly, but obviously once the Spice Girls were on stage I no longer cared and focused on the show! Nevertheless, I'm sure it's that moment which has put me off going to anything alone since then.
~
I have two concerts forthcoming!
8th November 2019 - Little Mix
18th September 2020 - Celine Dion
And Divine Comedy were great too. They've been going thirty years, but this is the first time I've seen them. If you get a chance and you like whimsical pop, go and see them.

Bit of a late reply but I did really enjoy my Xtina gig so thanks for those comments. It really was a great experience I did chat to people too who weirdly knew me by name through mutual friends small world!
As for my gigs in the future (or 2020 for now!). I have Dua Lipa booked for Newcastle. Booked that first bc I felt she’d sell out before Camila Cabello who I also wanna see. Holding off on that till around my birthday though as I feel I could get tickets nearer the time. (If anyone wants to buy me one I’m born Valentine’s Day 😂😂).
Really really really want to try and get Celine Dion tickets though but feel like that may be a task!
Why are concert prices so ridiculous now? £100 to see acts is just plain crap. I tried to purchase killer tickets last month and the only ones left were £140
I saw Katerine Duska in London a few weeks ago and that’s all that matters
I guess tickets to see Ellie now are going to be above £10
Also they don't make money from selling music so they Up the price if the live events.

List for this year updated with my most recently purchased tickets - Lauv's Glasgow date in November and Isaac Dunbar in London Never thought Isaac would do a UK date so soon, so I'm beyond excited for that!!
Finally have been to see something for the first time in ages!! Carly Rae Jepsen at Columbia Theatre this evening. She was so so so much fun
The sad moment when what would have been only my 4th concert ever (excluding festivals) is cancelled. How dara Lana become ill x Ah well, still 2 other concerts planned for the year to look forward to
(I was going to make a point of 'but Joseph has been to 500 concerts and like 2 of them were ever cancelled!!1' but looking back at his list his 4th concert ever was also cancelled lol)
How do y'all afford so many concerts omw
I saw Bowling For Soup and Simple Plan last week and both bands were amazing.
Bowling For Soup I had seen once before and loved them which is why I wanted to see them again as they are a great live act.
Simple Plan I hadn’t seen before but I’ve enjoyed their music and I’m glad I’ve actually seen them live now.
My next planned gig is Pussycat Dolls in April. I just booked my accommodation and transport.
This week I also bought tickets to see Ozzy Osbourne and JLS.
Booked for JLS' reunion tour at The O2 in December last week
Westlife are playing up the road from me in Colchester in July - although it's not sold out yet so I'm gonna judge a bit nearer the time and see if any tickets go on a Groupon deal or similar.
Also not strictly a music 'gig' but have seen that Rob Beckett is doing his stand up tour in Brentwood in October which I would like to go see, I think he's hilarious
2020:
29/02 - Lana Del Rey - CANCELLED
17/04 - The Joe and Dianne Show (Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell)
01/05 - The Bootleg Beatles (with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra)
22/05 - BROCKHAMPTON
30/07 - Lady Gaga
Really hope Lana remains the only one cancelled
I've got Kiana Lede, GaGa and Pussycat Dolls but pretty fearful all of them will be cancelled . Especially PCD.
If Tove Lo and Halsey are the only concerts I go to this year, then what a way to go out at least!
I'm totally expecting my other upcoming concerts to be cancelled now (which would bring me up to 50% cancellation rate lol). Hopefully if that's the case they'll at least be rescheduled (it took a while for BROCKHAMPTON to actually announce touring in the UK, going to be beyond gutted if that now ends up never happening after all because of this).
Honestly it's probably the right move for all concerts etc. to be cancelled for the near future until things calm down a bit, doesn't make it less disappointing though.
Got Pussycat Dolls in April, Download festival in June, Little Mix in July, Elton John in December.
Have a feeling the first 3 will be cancelled depending how long this all goes on for
Basically all (bar two) of my concerts this year are in April, May and June so I'm fully expecting them to be postponed/cancelled now.
Agnes Obel has postponed her gig in April
Although at least it’s not completely cancelled
The right thing is to surely cancel all concerts in March/April and maybe May and then take it from there.
Managed to get to Embrace et al tonight, they were alright and Starsailor were quite good as well given I didn't know any of their songs. Lots of impromptu Coronavirus remarks from the bands as well - just glad it went ahead really. Had Caribou booked sometime in April as well but not looking good for that sadly.
A gig I was planned to go to tomorrow (Leddra Chapman) has been cancelled as she's unwell herself. I'd feel uneasy going to it right now though anyway so was a bit hesitant about going even if it had been going ahead.
Also got a ticket for Dermot Kennedy at Alexandra Palace in two and a half weeks but I see no way that will go ahead.
Update:
2020:
29/02 - Lana Del Rey - CANCELLED
17/04 - The Joe and Dianne Show (Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell) - CANCELLED
01/05 - The Bootleg Beatles (with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra)
22/05 - BROCKHAMPTON
30/07 - Lady Gaga
Eep. I think Gaga is probably the only one that has a chance of going ahead
I've got Dua Lipa scheduled in at the end of May, but I'm expecting that to be cancelled now.
Every single gig I had booked, that has now been cancelled, has been rearranged for August. That's optimistic.
It's highly unlikely any act has insurance to cover them or their audience for Covid-19
Meanwhile Pussycat Dolls are still having ads for their tour on Facebook and next to no intentions on cancelling yet lmao.
they desperately need some coins oops

Jack Harlow on Monday, Will Young in Sept and Ellie Gouldings Sept too!
At some point during the lockdowns I tried to work out every band I've seen live, when and where, and I think I got them all. A big regret of mine is not going to gigs when I was at uni, I really should have as Sheffield has plenty of venues.
Gigs are something I'm quite happy to go to on my own, especially on a midweek if I'm not doing anything else. I'm lucky enough to get to any of Nottingham's 5 main venues within 30 minutes so had found myself going to stuff more frequently, it's a city that seems to catch a lot of tours due to decent venues of differing capacities including a Rough Trade which does sets and signings. This is my list split between gigs, signings and festivals with memorable and decent support acts in brackets. A few I've seen multiple times, with 4 being the most.

I couldn't possibly list every show I've been to as I didn't keep any records from my weekly gigs at Tunbridge Wells Rumble Club and later visits to The Forum between 1990 and 1995. Also their are tons of support acts I barely recall or have forgotten the names of, but below is the list of ones I can 100% confirm as correct plus a top 40 list for those seen over 3 times. If I only caught one or two songs from a set it hasn't been included so some big names like Oasis, James, Neil Young and Orbital are left off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've seen a lot of Support Acts at concerts, some being far more notable than others. Here's the ones I would consider worthy of mentioning:
5 Seconds of Summer (at One Direction - 2014)
Alphabeat (at Lady Gaga - 2010)
Amelia Lily (at Girls Aloud - 2013, at two different shows)
Blue (at Steps - 2018)
Ciara (at Rihanna - 2007 & Britney Spears - 2009)
David Guetta (at Rihanna - 2013)
Dragonette (at Sugababes - 2007)
Hailee Steinfeld (at Katy Perry - 2018)
Jess Glynne (at Spice Girls - 2018, at two different shows... I saw Spice Girls three times, but missed her on one occasion x)
Joe Jonas (at Britney Spears - 2011)
Lawson (at Take That - 2015)
Pitbull (at Britney Spears - 2018)
Raye (at Rita Ora - 2018)
Rogue Traders (at Girls Aloud - 2007)
The Saturdays (at Girls Aloud - 2008, at four different shows)
Simon Webbe (at Girls Aloud - 2008)
Tegan & Sara (at The Killers - 2012)
Vengaboys (at Steps - 2017)
I saw a pre-fame Jessie J at one of the Girls Aloud summer dates in 2008, but I didn't pay her much attention, so honestly it feels like I didn't see her at that point!
Girls Aloud also provided me with a couple of flop girl group support acts: Frank and Girls Can't Catch.
At Steps in 2012 I saw the iTunes scammer Kamaliya...!
Apparently I saw Tinchy Stryder at Cheryl in 2012, but I have no recollection of this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cancelled concerts:
30/03/2016 - Janet Jackson - Unbreakable World Tour - Birmingham - Barclaycard Arena
11/05/2018 - Nadine Coyle - Birmingham - O2 Institute
22/04/2024 - Céline Dion - Courage World Tour - London - O2 Arena
^ I think I've been fairly lucky that I've only experienced three cancellations! I had actually sold my Celine tickets in advance of the cancellation, but seeing as the concert didn't happen after all I'll list it under cancelled.
I had tickets to these concerts, but in the end I couldn't attend:
??/11/2007 - Take That - Beautiful World Tour 2007 - Birmingham - NEC [I can't remember if it was 15th, 16th, 17th, 19th or 20th Nov]
01/05/2008 - Sugababes - Change Tour - Derby - Assembly Rooms
24/06/2009 - The Saturdays - The Work Tour - London - HMV Hammersmith Apollo
27/06/2009 - Sugababes - Staffordshire - Cannock Chase Forest
12/11/2010 - Diana Vickers - London - KOKO
02/03/2012 - Melanie C - The Sea Live Tour - Birmingham - HMV Institute
14/10/2012 - Kelly Clarkson - Stronger Tour - Birmingham - LG Arena
14/10/2024 - S Club - The Good Times Tour - Sheffield - Utilita Arena
I have vague recollections of friends inviting me along to see Britney Spears - The Onyx Hotel Tour in 2004, Avril Lavigne - Bonez Tour in 2004 and P!nk - I'm Not Dead Tour in 2006... but I can't recall if it went as far as me actually committing myself to going but then having to pull out, or if I declined before going that far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Original Post:
I can't quite believe that I'll be going to a concert in just under 4 weeks time - Steps on 5th November!
Since 2006, I had attended at least one concert every year, but I broke my annual streak in 2020. The last concert I went to was on 8th November 2019 (Little Mix). I certainly wouldn't have imagined I would have a two year gap between shows, back then!
Post from 29th April 2022:
I didn't go to any concerts in 2020 and potentially I won't in 2022 either, now that I've pulled out of going to Celine! I miss going to concerts as regularly as I used to. There's still many acts I've never seen live before who I'd love to see. Hopefully the opportunity presents itself to see Celine Dion at another time. Janet Jackson, Carly Rae Jepsen, Dua Lipa, All Saints and Taylor Swift come to mind too.
amazed at how you remember all that stuff
wish I could but seems totally impossible for me to do
haven't been in a gig for so long... still a bit reticent about gigs but likely I'm not much into big names so my kinda concert is always some singer songwriter in a small venue with 17 people attending my last gig was Asgeir, the Icelandic singer songwriter in Feb 2020!!!
Went to see my first gig in two years. The band was Do Nothing and they were incredible
Edit: Also, WOW at RabbitFurCoat's signing list. You got to meet some great musicians.
Saw Jamie Cullum on Tuesday night with the parents for my Dad's birthday present. Went in with no expectations and actually turned out to be a great show! Good variety of songs and moods and a very energetic pair of backing singers and band members having their own moments to shine on the instruments, it was nice to see a show where it felt everyone was really happy to be there. He's a great showman as well and was very at ease performing the upbeat and the slow piano moments! Thoroughly impressed and would see him again!
Just had a panic moment trying to choose between 2 gigs happening on the same day, one I already have a ticket for and one I'd prefer to see... turns out I can see both as the latter is an afternoon gig!!!
I saw Squid last week for free! A kind member of the IDLES AF Gang had a spare ticket going, so I took him up on it. And it was *amazing*, such a tight live band.
I'll also be seeing Black Country, New Road on December 1st. I'm trying to convince a metal-loving friend to go with, but I'll be more than happy to go on my own tbh I'm not usually a fan of solo gigging, but I'm not going to miss out on this one!
Erasure this coming Sunday at the O2, Paloma Faith next Saturday at the Palladium.
bought sam fender tickets
Going to see Joel Corry in Glasgow a week on Saturday, very excited!
Got Steps on November 8th, can’t wait

Still haven't been at any gig since the pandemic :/ still having issues about going to gigs now + none of my super super favourites have played here... but already bought a bunch of tix for 2022, Olafur Arnalds, Julien Baker, The Tallest Man on Earth, and, Lucy Dacus.
I haven't made it to a concert since the pandemic either! Not sure how good I feel about being in a room packed with people now, I did have Caribou booked which was rescheduled to a couple of months ago but didn't feel like I could go.
Ollie Wride was FANTASTIC. Highly recommend - a real rockstar!
My 2021 list was pretty good for three months:

Coming up: Dua Lipa (London O2)
Fairly diverse!
Looking back at my last post in here...
Rescheduling doesn't bother me too much but I'm particularly gutted because the whole reason we were going to Paris was for that concert! My partner and I decided to do that as our Christmas gift to each other instead of just spending for the sake of spending we met at a PVRIS gig two years ago, our Anniversary is in June, Paris is known to be a romantic city etc so it just felt really special to be able to do that together but I'm still glad we're going to Paris and we'll probs go again ok the rescheduled date anyway
2022
25/02/2022 - Dave: We're All Alone In This Together World Tour M&S Bank Arena
20/03/2022 - Stormzy: H.I.T.H. World Tour M&S Bank Arena
15/04/2022 - Madison Beer: Life Support World Tour Manchester Academy
26/04/2022 - Little Mix: Confetti Tour M&S Bank Arena
29/04/2022 - Dua Lipa: Future Nostalgia World Tour M&S Bank Arena
17/05/2022 - Charli XCX: Crash World Tour O2 Victoria Warehouse
03/07/2022 - Olivia Rodrigo: Sour World Tour O2 Apollo
I think I'm pretty much doubling the amount of concerts I've been too this year. Making up for lost time after not being able to attend any since the pandemic began. Two concerts next week after they were rearranged so close together. I'm expecting them both to be amazing.
A week ago since I met Madison and I'm missing it so much so I'll take the opportunity to post it again!
I'll be more than doubling my total number of concerts (excluding Reading Festival) this year, only had 3 in total before and have 1 down and 3 more scheduled this year. Mind, I said that in 2020 too and ended up going to a grand total of 0 concerts that year xx
BRER!!!!!
WHY ARE YOU IN THIS THREAD AND NOT IN THE KTICHEN BAKING BREAD?!
I’ve seen Goldfrapp, Rupauls Drag Race S2 and Little Mix this year so far.
I have Celine, Queen and a couple of others to go yet.
Been a bit thin on the ground so far this year and also pulled out of going to Bambara (waste of a good ticket but seen them before).

How have the concerts been for you all?
I’d like to go to more concerts. I’ve not done one in many years, almost a whole decade in fact. Part of the problem is confidence but another major part is simply not having someone as interested in music as me who would pay the sort of money that’s needed to see live music. I’d love to have a friend to go to these concerts with, it’s just not something I would do on my own I don’t think.
Another update! 2021 was pretty productive despite half the year not accounting for any gigs, while 2022's off to a quiet start so far but it'll be busy from next month! Already having 3 gigs booked (well, 2 of them got rescheduled there) for 2023

finally went to 2 gigs after 2 years of cancelled gigs!!!
Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, both fantastic little gigs, in super small venues and few people (maybe 100)
oh my but I'm not used to gigs anymore. At the Lucy Dacus gig, after maybe 30 minutes my back was killing me, and funnily all my friends were the same. I'm not used tostanding up anymore hahaha
Literally just got back from seeing Blondie and Johnny Marr about 40 mins ago. Two iconic acts well past their sell by date but with great songs, history and importance, and still capable of delivering here and there..
I'm lucky in that I'm now largely ticking off bands or singers because I ought to, rather having a huge list of bands I must go see one day but if there's one thing I would say to people it is this - If there is someone you want to see live, just go. Don't put it off until next time. I will forever regret having a ticket to see Siouxsie and the Banshees and passing it over, and not bothering to see R.E.M. (as Bingo Hand Job when I could've got in free0. Worst of all I said I would see Motorhead and Prince 'next time' one time too many. Since Lemmy died I have vowed to go see any band I remotely care to see live the moment I have the opportunity
Always assume it could be your last chance and if you can go, go.

One of the best Twitter interactions ever!!
Oh Celine postponed her European concert again, for another year… so I won’t get my money for the tickets I sold (it had to be on AXS’ resale site) until April 2023. Yay… I wish I’d held onto them now because maybe April 2023 would have been ok for me. Oh well 👀
It seems unreal she'll be promoting a 2019 album in 2023!
Seeing Divine Comedy tonight, supported by the band representing Suedeonia in this month’s BJSC.
Okay so yes my Celine date is rescheduled again…
A wonderfully nostalgic Tom Robinson Band gig tonight at Brighton's Concorde 2. Almost 44 years after I saw him at my first proper gig, Tom Robinson is still a great, engaging performer.
He even told a story which he assured us was true about the time when he was facing bankruptcy and selling just about anything he could. A deadlocked bloke showed up and saw some stuff with a TRB logo and said something along the lines of "Ah, Tom Robinson, whatever happened to him?". Tom replied "I am Tom Robinson" and went on to say that he still hoped to make a comeback. He cited the example of Eddie Grant who had enjoyed success with the Equals before seemingly disappearing and then eventually coming back with a string of solo hits. The dreadlocked bloke nodded and said "I am Eddie Grant". I really hope the story is true!
Ngl I am quite surprised that you don't have chronic tinnitus already...! I always worry a little bit about my hearing after every concert I go to
After a couple of years going to concerts, I became increasingly distressed by the after effects, which could be a day or more of ringing in my ears, or them feeling kind of muffled in an uncomfortable way.
I eventually decided to get some hearing protection from Specsavers. They're made to measure perfectly to the shape of your ears and they reduce the decibels, and I found that I can actually hear the concert better with them in - it's like they provide clarity by filtering out excess decibels. Concerts are obviously still loud even with them in, but it's clearly less harmful for my ears because I don't feel like I'm suffering after concerts anymore.
I always feel self conscious putting them in because I rarely notice anyone around me using them (logically I'm sure no one notices or cares what I'm doing, lol), but at the end of the day I know it's extremely worth it.
(Lol at some of my wording making this post sound like an advert x)
^ What's that hearing protection called? Sounds like something it's worth looking into and possibly investing in. So your advert is working already!
I'm seeing the Pet Shop Boys in a couple of weeks at the O2. They're probably my favourite band that I've never seen live so I'm quite excited! Then in August I've got the Victorious festival which includes a whole load of great bands and artists (highlights will be Sam Fender, Bastille, Suede, Declan McKenna, Anne-Marie, Becky Hill, Paolo Nutini, Embrace plus loads more!)
Ride at the Concorde2 on 6 June can now be added to my list.
The concerts i've been to:
Kylie Minogue - Show Girl Tour (2005)
Britney Spears - The Circus Starring: Britney Spears (2009) - Ciara was the opening act
N-Dubz - Love Live Life Tour (2011) - Supporting acts Professor Green, Emeli Sande, Starboy Nathan, Fearless, Encore, Ny
Britney Spears - Femme Fatale Tour (2011) - Supporting acts: Joe Jonas and Destinee & Paris
Dappy - Rockstar Tour (2011) - Supporting acts: Cover Drive, Benny Banks, Dukuman and maybe more I don't remember

I had a M&G with Britney in 2015 in Vegas and a M&G at one of the shows in 2018 too, the sweetest person EVER! Photos do her no justice, she is so stunning and tiny in person.
Upcoming:
Lady Gaga - Chromatica Ball (30th July 2022)
N-Dubz - Back To The Future Tour (12th November 2022)
Well I just got back from seeing the mighty Pet Shop Boys at the O2 and WHAT. A. GIG. It was the Greatest Hits tour which means they played banger after banger after banger. Epic night

So good to be getting back to live music. Great to see The Midnight again, new songs since I last saw them. Solid sax playing as ever, great vocals- such a good band. Goose were great support, heard a few things from them before.
MCR live... omg. Incredible. Felt like I waited over a decade to hear Welcome To The Black Parade like that. As for supports, was also fun to suddenly hear a BJSC song from Charlotte Sands and I knew a couple Placebo songs so that was super cool. Starcrawler also sounded pretty good despite not knowing them beforehand.
I've been wearing earplugs at gigs for ages, all my friends that I go to concerts with have tinitus and pretty serious for years
and I usually only go to singer-songwriter gigs but still never without earplugs
Last minute because my friend has a spare ticket: Years & Years TONIGHT at Wembley.

Can't believe you got see not only IDLES, but also Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
I saw Tigercub perform live too, albeit not at 2000 Trees
They were both great but Pigs x7 were immense. I was at barrier for them and it was a sheer wall of noise. I'm more than used to loud but they bordered on the legal limit.
I've seen Tigercub a few times but then they are local and although I'm not quite mates with them we have mutual friends, so it's hardly a shocker.

I went to see Agnes Obel this week at the symphony hall in Birmingham… she was absolutely amazing, one of my favourite concerts in a while. She was on stage with two cellists and a percussionist, all three were extremely good and really made the music come to life through layering and vocals. Impressed.
Just started a run of paired gigs that will probably be all of my 2022 gigs
Did Dagny the other night, and then on Tuesday I have Cornelia Jacobs.
In October I have Gabrielle/Veronica Maggio in Oslo on the Friday and then a couple of days later RAYE back in Berlin
In Nov I have the Sugababes in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
After that its already into 2023 where I have Go_A and Måneskin planned within a fortnight of each other. Måneskin will be mental as it'll be my first gig at the Mercedes Arena and my first like proper full on Arena gig since the Sugababes Greatest Hits tour which was a long long time ago. Really making up for those lean pandemic years. In 2020 and 2021 I saw Carly Rae Jepsen just before lockdown and then Måneskin at the Mammamia single launch and that was it!!

I booked to see Lotte in December, Leony in May and Pink in June. At this rate by the end of 2023 I will have done more gigs Post Covid than in the 30 years pre-covid
Think that covid helped me to realise what in particular was important to me and why things like live music and these experiences matter so much to me
Also Raye‘s gig was the most unique I have ever been to. It was so different in the best way. Absolutely loved it.
Still not over Delta from last week and I go again tonight and I’m not sure I’ll ever stop floating after Gabrielle.
Went to Rina Sawayama last night and she was pretty incredible *.* not that I thought it would be a bad gig but she definitely exceeded my expectations.

A pretty quiet month but have Clutch/Tigercub and Play Dead/HotWax coming up this week
^ are the names that you don't bold in these posts ones that you didn't see?
Japanese Television are great, I sent one of their songs to BJSC last year! (after discovering them via UNKLE remixing one of their songs).
Kehlani & Michelle McManus are all i’ve got left this year
Michelle is touring this year?!
Ahh right that makes sense then! Well glad you at least partly enjoyed then I'm a fan of a lot of instrumental music anyway, not heard of Ozric Tentacles but may have to check them out ~
JTV describe their own sound as 'space surf' although that may or may not just be to allow them to credibly call themselves 'the UK's #1 space surf band', for all the competition in that microgenre.
