March 15Mar 15 I’ve got a hazy memory of going to a show called the Disney Channel Kids Awards in 1999 and seeing 911 perform, but the first one I count and I went solo to was nine years later, at ‘Clubland Live’ in March 2008. I was 19 and Cascada were the headliners supported by Scooter, Ultrabeat and a ton of other 00s dance acts, only £25 as well! The next one was Alphabeat a few months later, £10 for that which given they’d already had a big top ten hit felt like a real bargain even then.My mum and grandma were also 19 when they went to their first concerts - Cliff Richard in 1959 for my grandma, and Mental as Anything in 1987 for my mum.In 2022 I went to Ed Sheeran with my now-wife, and Evanescence with a friend of mine - in both cases it was their first gig and they were both in their late twenties, which I found astonishing as I always considered myself quite late to the party going to them aged 19 but I guess it happens at different ages for everyone.
March 15Mar 15 Girls Aloud in 2008 as part of their Tangled Up Tour. They came to Elton Hall which is just down the road from me, which meant seeing very early days The Saturdays by extension. I sadly don't remember much about the concert and more about how it took until 2am to leave the car park due to a shocking traffic management system in place 🤣
March 15Mar 15 my first was Cranberries in the mid 90s at a place called Zeleste in Barcelona. Tiny place. Was front row and so close to the stage I remember I could see Dolores O'Riordan's pimples RIP Dolores btw

March 16Mar 16 BUSTED - A Present For Everyone tour was the first tour I ever went to. I remember James messing up on 'Psycho Girl' and finding it endearing and I think at that moment is when I realised I was at an actual live concert
March 16Mar 16 1 hour ago, Jessie Where said:I don't blame them, I wouldn't either.My favourites are very low-known and sing almost always (90-95%) on Lithuanian, not sure if anybody else heard YVA and other Lithuanian girl groups / female singers in Russia.
