June 3, 20196 yr 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 :P that will be such a good gig! gutted I couldn't see RF at slamdunk :(
August 10, 20195 yr 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 :heart: I've somehow never been to the O2 arena before. Ariana seems like a pretty fab place to start that journey with!
August 10, 20195 yr 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
August 11, 20195 yr 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.
August 12, 20195 yr This is a good place to start - https://www.setlist.fm Setlist is pretty good but quite bitty. I find Songkick ti be more comprehensive personally
August 13, 20195 yr 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.
August 15, 20195 yr 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 This has, no lie, been one of the best nights of my whole life. Second only to seeing MKS at Scala. She was every bit as iconic as I was expecting and more. She even did Suffer for Love. Like. Never ever ever expected that I’d ever hear that live. Totally unrehearsed, she hadn’t sung it in over a decade and she was note perfect. What a f***ing talent.
August 17, 20195 yr 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.

August 29, 20195 yr 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.

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. Wow, you really haven't heard of them if you spell Starsailor with an e! They had a few hits in the early 2000s but my favourite songs of theirs are Tie Up My Hands and Listen To Your Heart.
August 29, 20195 yr 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. I'm going to see Vistas in October too, though it'll be the first time I've been to a gig where I'm mainly going for the support act - Swimming Girls
August 29, 20195 yr 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 :D
October 14, 20195 yr 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.
October 14, 20195 yr 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.
