One of the best live acts you will ever see, saw them in Newcastle & Birmingham last year and will see them twice in April this year.
In Lisbon on 16th & Madrid on 21st, can't wait, have they started to sell day only tickets for Download yet?

Just home from Simple Minds in Aberdeen. Two and a half hour set of timeless classics. Superb gig.
Hurts tomorrow (tonight) in Glasgow have a lot to live up to.
Saw Biffy Clyro at the SECC last night, first time I've seen them live and they were superb.
Seen a few bands at the (rubbish) SECC and they were the best.
Best band ever to come out of Scotland.

I saw them at the AECC on Sunday night and yeah, they were as good as ever. Despite only really going for Glitter and Trauma, they had a strong set.
Best band ever to come out of Scotland though!?
Hurts at the Garage in Glasgow last night were absolutely superb. It's a long time since I came away from a gig on such a high. I don't mind admiting to having a bit of a man crush on Theo!
Mark my words, that will be the last time I see this band in such a small venue. They are going to be huge. They're already playing to full arenas around Europe and hopefully the UK will get aboard the bandwagon now.
As a massive Depeche Mode fan, Hurts would be the perfect tour support for the up-coming stadium World tour.
Because they deserve it. I agree, it's great to see bands in wee venues. To be up close and get the banter between fans and band is great but you don't get the production levels in the Garage that you do in an arena. They will easily be able to fill an arena stage, in fact they already do in Germany, the Baltics, Poland etc.
Thoroughly recommend the new album. It's a bit less poppy and bit darker than Happiness. Good progression IMO.
Staying in Belfast tonight and The Outcasts are playing in Auntie Annies just round from hotel. Terri Hooley billed as dj'ing although I don't see any decks.. Enjoyed Good Vibrations earlier this week so a wee bonus to finish the Easter break away. Place is swarming with grizzled old Belfast punks who time has not been kind to it must be said!
The Stones at Hyde Park, Sat 6th July. :flag:
Just thought I'd go for it. Went and bought a Sunday ticket for Download in order to see Rammstein!
Black Sabbath in Auckland in 10 days time. Should be a good 'un.
They are supported by Shihad who are a big name here in NZ (recommend a YouTube of them, some good tunes :agree:)
1D, Newcastle last night
:-(
2 good links for Rammstein version of Stripped below, official video & good live one.

Off to Lisbon & Madrid next week and will see Rammstein in both, can't wait.
Last tour they played around 21 or 22 songs each night and around 35 songs over the tour. They tend to mix it up if the play more than one night at the same venue and they make a few changes between the different legs of the tour. They have 10 or so songs that feature in every tour, add 4 or 5 from the album they're promoting and throw in a few suprises.
I've been to a few Wolfe Tones concerts in Aberdeen. They play the same songs in the same order and the place is always littered with Septic fans but it's a decent night out all the same.
Stiff Little fingers and Sham 69 with my old man. not sure on venues or dates but they're both in town. In particular looking forward to seeing S69, was brought up on That's Life :greengrin
