Upcoming gigs?

[Stairway 2 7]

He's pretty much confirmed on Twitter that we'll hear Cloudburst, (It's) Good to be Free, Fade Away, Listen Up, Sad Song, Whatever and Walrus. That will be about 1 hour 40.


What a list, should be tremendous. Had to get Manchester due to being in Germany for Glasgow, if he plays half that list it'll be worth the trip

[bringbackbenny]

Mary Chain tonight at Usher hall, great set 😀

Ugly Kid Joe and The Virginmarys at Slay last night, superb gig from both bands, I highly recommend The Virginmarys when they come up here to gig, brilliant 2 piece hard rock band.

Tickets bought thick and fast for later in the year.
The Enemy/Subways
Shed Seven
Maximo Park

Slash with Myles Kennedy at the Hydro tomorrow, supported by Mammoth WVH.

[CropleyWasGod]

Tickets bought for Youssou N'Dour at the Usher Hall and Lack of Afro at the Voodoo Rooms :greengrin

The K’s tonight at La Belle. Saw them a couple of years ago at the Isle of Wight festival and enjoying their debut album. Should be good.

[patch1875]

Couple booked this week.

The Dandy Warhols
The Cult

[CropleyWasGod]

Safehouse at Stramash on Saturday.

Always a hippie-fest :greengrin

Edit. In light of Dickey Betts' passing, more likely an Allmans-fest

[patch1875]

Realised I’m seeing Personal Trainer on Sunday.

[Sloop67]

Mickey9s tonight at The MacArts Centre in Gala

[LancashireHibby]

Not got round to buying The Enemy / The Subways in Manchester in October yet but makes perfect sense when I’ll be literally across the road earlier in the evening at Super League Grand Final.

Going to the test event at Co-Op Live tomorrow night (new arena at the Etihad). Rick Astley headlining so at least we know we only need to aim to get there for the last song 😁

[Frazerbob]

The K’s tonight at La Belle. Saw them a couple of years ago at the Isle of Wight festival and enjoying their debut album. Should be good.

The gig was cut short after 5 songs due the singer having a throat infection. He announced that they'd reschedule and all tickets would be valid. I must admit to thinking the promoter would be thinking 'WTF' as that would be a financial disaster. Low and behold, gig rescheduled for August 1st and all tickets valid. 10/10 to all involved.

[tricky]

I’ve got two spare standing tickets for Springsteen in Cardiff on Sunday, if anyone here wants them will sell below face value

Got tickets for Arab Strap at La Belle Angele in November. Don’t think I’ve ever seen them before, which seems strange to me.

Dubinski on Saturday night

Tenacious D at the Hydro tonight.

Eric Clapton in Newcastle this Thursday.

No Layla or Wonderful Tonight, but Clapton and his band were fantastic. His support band, Andy Fairweather Low and the Low Riders were excellent. Only minor negative was the stadium itself, the Utilita Arena. Seating was very tight and most seats faced across the arena instead of angled towards the stage. It made viewing a bit uncomfortable especially for ‘oldies’ like me with back issues.:greengrin

[Sloop67]

Tickets bought tonight for Hayseed Dixie in the Liquid Rooms

Got tickets for Madness at the castle then was informed you can’t get a pint there - surely not?!

Notice goldfinger and mad caddies too, both of them were good last I saw them. Was about 20 odd years ago mind.

Saw snuff last month and they were superb.

Cracking night last night Hayseed Dixie were superb, good support too from The Zipheads . I heard today that Hayseed Dixie will be coming back to Gala later this year, just waiting on them being announced, not sure what my next gib will be could be Bombskare at the end of June in Gala

Just about dried out from the Springsteen gig last week (he hasn't. He has postponed a few dates as a result of his soaking.)

Fun loving crime writers at perth theatre last night.

Good format with the first half chat about how the band formed then a bit about their latest books. Second half rocking the building.

As someone who has just come back from a trip seeing more than one gig by a band I first saw live 49 years ago, I'm really pleased to see the enthusiasm in these youngsters in their support of Taylor Swift.

Agreed.

I'm with you on the ignorance thing, too. But the music isn't meant for me. If young people get as much out of live gigs as you and I have for the last xx years, then that has to be good.

ps who was that band you saw?

My daughter just got 2 restricted view for the Saturday as well apparently they were released this morning.

I'm quite jealous of my daughter in some respects (not the music). But it's been a long time since I was that excited about a music event (probably not since Prince at the O2 and the after-party).

Saw YES in Glasgow on the 24th May and then in Newcastle (the Sage in Gateshead) on 2 June. Both excellent gigs. The musicianship, as always, was first class and of course, their delivery of material at their disposal was simply superb. My first YES concert was in 1977. My wife's first was the Relayer tour in 1975. Seen them many times over the years. Simply the band ever.

I’m read that yesterday about the sound. We too were on the pitch near the east end by the speaker pylon. I thought the sound was good.

I remember when they played at Meadowbank and the stage was backed onto Marionville Road. The sound just echoed and bounced around the stand. Still great though but can understand folks frustration.

Weather made it even better.

I thought they started off a bit slow and it was all a bit one-paced. It picked up though. I would love to see them in a smaller venue. Castle was far from sold out and the time before , at the HYdro, the place was 2/3 full.

Love Berninger's willingness to get involved with the fans. He's very engaging, without saying much.

Musicianship is superb, two great guitarists and fantastic rhythm section. I enjoyed the brass too.

My only gripe was a couple of folk behind me who were so sent by the music that they felt the need to bellow every word. No one appreciates two twats in the audience singing louder than the actual singer, but I suppose they don't give a **** that it's not cool.

Oh aye, and the stage lighting was a bit dark and dire too.

didn’t play 1 song I recognised ,don’t know if it was his latest album or just songs I’d never heard of

I can't get on board with his "lock your phone away when I'm playing" nonsense. Sure, people who go film entire gigs/watch it all through their screens can ruin a show. And I get that if you go to a theatre performance/musical etc you'd be huckled out if you tried to film it. But I see nothing wrong whatsoever with wanting to take a photo of your idol on stage, even if nobody gives a toss about that photo in the years that follow but you...

And I'm someone who often takes photos of artists on stage at gigs. The lack of phones & cameras creates a far better gig experience IMO. The trouble with allowing them is you get far too many people watching through their screens and, as you say, this can ruin a show.

I was at Twin Atlantic last night at PJ Molloys. Couldn't believe they were playing a 350 capacity venue, I was lucky to get tickets.

Unbelievable experience!

Also have the Xcerts there in August, Wrest at the Barras in August and then again at PJs in October.

Biffy's Friday night at the Barras too which I think is November but had to get tickets on Viagogo.

I'm a massive Biffy fan - have been since Blackened Sky (where they actually played my Freshers in Dundee Union). Seen them 13 times to this point and was delighted when they announced this but the tickets were a complete and utter farce.

I had an artist pre-sale link, signed in bang at 9am and they were all showing as sold out. Every show.

Yet sure enough, they were on resale sites for hundreds of pounds merely hours later. I've been lucky, but that was my first truly awful Ticketmaster experience.

I was the same, it was very disappointing. I just bit the bullet and paid by Klarna on Viagogo as I missed the last Barrowland shows.

I initially was going to get Blackened Sky tickets but went with Vertigo of Bliss.

The wonderful Steelhouse festival in South Wales for me and mine this weekend

[Frazerbob]

Johnny Marr at Kelvingrove Bandstand last night was brilliant. A master class from a proper legend. 10 Smiths & 2 Electronic songs included in his set. Loved the venue too. First time there and well organised bars, great view from anywhere and even at the back you felt close to the stage. Like that they use the actual stage, unlike the Ross Bandstand gigs.

[Hibby70]

Shed Seven at SWG3. £28 for a ticket including a CD. Should be a cracking intimate gig. Also going later in the year to the corn exchange but couldn't pass this one up.

I really like Hamish Hawk. Saw him supporting The Proclaimers at Leith Links and have subsequently seen him a couple of times at his own gigs. I had tickets for his album launch gig at the end of the month but he had to reschedule it as he subsequently agreed to go on tour with another act. Unfortunately, we are away on holiday when the rescheduled gig takes place.

Party at the palace last night. What a ****ing **** show. The whole place was covered in camp chairs with few walk ways. Definite vibe of "this is my space, **** off"

UB40 were brilliant. Heaven 17 and big country were ok.

When leaving there was a car broken down and some stupid **** decided to push it into the folk in front of it (not sure why the handbrake wasn't on). Could have been nasty

Going to this too. Looking forward to it. My mate who is the only other person I know that's into them is away so I'm taking along my wife who doesn't really get either of them - Death Cab maybe at a push.

Interesting they play the songs from the albums in order. I was at the Liam Gallagher Definitely Maybe gig in Belfast at the weekend and he played those songs out of order (as he has done on the entire tour), presumably because the best songs are all near the start and he was also interspersing them with B-sides of the era. I think I'd prefer it in order the way Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service are doing it.

I’ve seen a few gigs now where an artist has played an album in full, and it’s always been in the original order apart from Billy Bragg. I like it that way as the running order of an album is important, although I appreciate from a live performance view the artist may want to change it, like Billy did so he could finish with A New England.

Multiple devices, multiple data options (VPN, WiFi, 4g).

If you do get in take what you get, don't release and look for better tickets, it generally only gets worse.

It will be a nightmare as usual, surprised they haven't gone for the Invitation code route.

I also expect they'll have an additional date for the Sunday held back.

Are they billing themselves as the Pistols? Without Rotten that's a stretch if so. Jones & Co must also really be getting on a bit now?

Happened upon a 1990s documentary on them a wee while back (not the Filth and the Fury film by Julien Temple which I still have on DVD somewhere) and Rotten was a phenomenal lead singer/front man.

Seen them play Balloch Country park - 2006 or 2007 (can't exactly remember). They were absolutely outstanding. I wasn't their biggest fan til that show but really fell in love with them afterward.

I've always made a point of seeing bands I wanted to - Death Cab For Cutie at the Hydro last Friday were my only real outstanding bucket list band that I still wanted to see.

I regret being too young and missing out on Nirvana (a band I never really liked when I first got into rock as the hype was unreal, but enjoyed them in later life), and I wish I'd seen Soundgarden live (again, I was late to appreciate them) - that being said, I did see Audioslave once and they played a couple of Soundgarden songs, which was a real pleasure.

Ticketmaster implement it but the band (or their management etc) set the pricing tiers to meet the demand. Blame to go around!

[Gatecrasher]

Glad to see the dynamic pricing getting a lot of coverage on the news. It should never have been a thing. If it doesn't get banned or severly restricted, at the very least, if you are in a queue they should have the live prices next to the status bar so you know what you will be expecting to pay. At least then that will stop you queueing for 5 hours only to realise your being asked to pay rip off prices.

It’s scandalous. I was listening to Chris Evans this morning going on about it and, while he didn’t actually agree with it, he said that’s how markets, like airlines and hotels etc. operate these days, so you just have to accept it. Well, Mr Richman, the comparisons you make are not quite the same. When booking, say a flight, the price doesn’t jump in the middle of a transaction. It’s when you leave a website, you leave cookies which can trigger an increase if and when you return at a later date. As Gatecrasher says, this practice is an infringement of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 and the government should investigate and penalise these charlatans.

[Jim44]

On a brighter note than my above post, I’m going to see The Script in Glasgow in November. Maybe a bit middle of the road for some tastes, but the fact that I’m going with my grandkids, teenagers, son and daughter in law, in their 40’s and old fuddy duddy me, 78, it shows their mass appeal.

Mine is from part of the Murrayfield hospitality offering which wasn’t available through ticketmaster but only via Murrayfield and their partners. The tickets were available two days prior and actual ticket is downloadable already. Wish I knew about this at the time, it’d have saved me a fair bit of stress over the past few days. I can’t see them being able to stop tickets being sold on stub hub etc either mate

Anyone going to Wrest on Saturday at the Barras?


, I’m heading there, bought tickets last year when they played in Galashiels, looking forward to it, I’ve also got tickets for their gig back down here later in the year

Back in from seeing Big Country perform the ‘Steeltown’ album plus hits at the Queens Hall supported by Mike Peters of The Alarm. Superb! Went with my best mate 41 years since we first saw them together after queuing all night outside The Playhouse box office for tickets. Oasis fans have the nerve to moan😁

Ride last night were great as usual although the hall used in SWG3 was not the best.

Early start as well so home for a decent time on a Sunday night.

Which one was it, out of interest?

I personally think SWG3 is one of the better venues in Glasgow just now. Really enjoyed every gig I've been to there!

Just a pain to get to on a weeknight, Glasgow's other venues are good by bus (except Hydro), SWG3 isn't as easy when the gigs finish, good venue but not for getting there and back.

Yeah, it does probably require that someone in your party drive I guess. The good thing is if you can drive, it's pretty easy to get parked closeby outside the venue, and I find getting back onto the motorway from there quite straightforward. It's also a short hop to Finnieston for some decent places to eat/drink pre-gig.

Half of the original Linkin park touring with a new female vocalist. Nearest stop is London though, so I don't think I'll bother.

It was TV studio. Lot of pillars and concrete so didn’t think the acoustics were great.

Generally enjoy the venue when I’ve been but first time in this hall.

Blackberry Smoke at the old Corn Exchange. I've only heard the one album and sporadic tracks. Good gig. Would go and see them again.
