Gigs Thread

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.
 
Saw OMD last night at the House of Blues in Cleveland. Their first headline gig in the city since 1986. I did last see them here about 10 years ago as support for the fucking Bare Naked Ladies.
The place was sold out and they were very solid and entertaining. This being the US, the set relied a bit too much on their late 80s radio-friendly dross, which is what they’re best known for here, but that was only a minor irritation, as they played plenty of the old stuff for the FOCs, who were much in evidence. Nothing off Dazzleships though :(
Next up, Neil Young in August.

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.

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.

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.

Ended up half way up the stairs and managed to sit down for the majority of the gig with an unobstructed view. Just stood up for "Grounds for Divorce" and the encore.
Back inside my mate's flat for 22:33!
 
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
