Gigs Thread

Just been listening to The Charlatans' soundcheck from my mate's flat in Castlefield. They have an extremely loud Hammond organ, but overall sounded fantastic.
Yes, it is The Coral & Embrace as support tonight. Wish I was going, but can't afford to attend the entire string of gigs, so just did Elbow & returning for Bloc Party next Thursday.

Thanks mate can’t wait for tonight where Elbow on last night and then Shed Seven tomorrow?
 
Bloc Party, Castlefield Bowl, July.

Oasis, Heaton Park, July.

Prodigy, Coop Live Arena, April.
 
Charlatans headlining Docksfest in Cleethorpes Saturday w/ Ash & Maximo Park.
I’m not going as it’s not my cup of tea, I’ll be watching the live stream of the monumental Sabbath gig with a lot of beers and a few mates.
 
Got no gig mates, so end up going to most new bands on my todd, everyone is either skint or not into the same genre.
 
Off to see Elbow & The Slow Readers Club at Castlefield Bowl tomorrow evening, then Bloc Party at the same venue next Thursday.
I think it's a cracking venue, although I always get in early to secure a spot on the steps at the back.
Was there last night, got there just after 7 and ended up at the back of the steps so didn’t see much, had 10 year old lad on my shoulders for half of it so was fucked by the end. Great gig though and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tempted to buy shed seven tickets for tomorrow now.
 
Due to go Lytham Festival on Sunday to watch Simple Minds and Texas, but they've cancelled tonight's show about half an hour ago due to the weather. Ironically enough, tonight is Alanis Morissette
Forecast for Sunday isn't great

forecast ain't to bad now, looks like could rain about 10 tonight just as it wraps up, live here now so could be a moist walk home
 
I was at the ELO gig last night and towards the end of the show they had to get a chair for him, he didn't look well. They should of made the announcement this morning, feel sorry for everyone who travelled there tonight to be told 45mins before the show that it's been cancelled.
Jeff Lyne cancelled tonight due to a health issue 45 mins before he was due on! Arena full.

Probably trying his best to do the gig but if he wasn’t great last night then would have been for the best.
 
God that's shit
ELO Experience on at the Opera House 27 July

Can’t say for 100% sure if it’s the same tribute band she saw but the name sounds the same, ELO is my Mum’s favorite band and she honestly thought the tribute band were better than the real thing back in 2023 when they last toured.
