Upcoming gigs?

[overdrive]

How were they? I saw them at the o2 in Glasgow last time and nearly walked out because they were too busy telling fart jokes rather than playing music, when they did play music they were pretty good.

I was at the Dropkick Murphys gig a day or two before BFS.

They were excellent, though it was knob jokes this time. It didn't last long. To be fair, it was a full play through of the 'A Hangover You Don't Deserve' album which is 18 songs plus a handful of other songs, so they probably didn't have time for a lot of jokes.

Wheatus and Magnolia Park were decent too. They had a DJ inbetween the sets which is becoming more and more common. Unfortunately this guy was a total lady garden. Nonsense chat and he apparently has his first own song out too which he insisted on 'performing'. He was clearly miming. Got booed off the stage. BFS then had him on stage later and he got booed again. BFS looked a bit surprised.

Glad you had a great time. I really like them but there was just too much fannying about for me the last time I saw them. They seem to have a massive following with a very mixed crowd, so they are doing something right.

[Sloop67]

The Bluebells tomorrow night in Gala , rescheduled from the back end of last year

Sam Fender for Edinburgh sessions on sale next week

Cheers for posting. Quite fancy tickets for that, though I'm not so keen on his latest stuff.

Bowling for Soup tonight. Wheatus and Magnolia Park are the support
That was brilliant the other week wasn’t it

I have You Me At Six next month at the Barrowlands, the Punk all dayer in a glasgow in June, and the Offspring in Newcastle later in the year

[Colr]

Not a gig but a play. I see 2:22 A Ghost Story is touring. See if you agree with me that the ending makes absolutely no sense at all in the context of the play because no reviewers mentions this!

[Moulin Yarns]

Not a gig but writers at Pitlochry festival theatre winter words.

Today Liz Lochead and Kirsty Wark in conversation with Alan Cummings.

Tomorrow Jo Sharp and Val Mcdermid with Alan Cummings

Shamans Harvest and Blacktop Mojo at The Cathouse in Glasgow March 13th, 1st time seeing these bands.

Gutted to have missed this as we were away on holiday. Had tickets to the Edinburgh album launch gig last year that got rearranged due to supporting Travis but we were on holiday for the rearranged gig too. Got to the Travis gig at the Hydro, though.

Was it well sold? He said something at the Travis gig implying the ticket sales were bad and there seemed to be a lot of promotion of it on social media

[Galahibby]

Just got BST Hyde Park tickets for Neil Young, Van Morrison and Cat Stevens. Will be going straight from ELO in Manchester the night before. If Carlsberg did road trips… 💚

Fantastic night. Fairly short gig at 1h20ish but the pace was relentless certainly an early contender already for gig of the year.

Fantastic live band and so much better as a four than a five.

Aye, Nicola, and Kirsty Wark were both up on the decks. I'm too old for that kind of thing but the place was rocking, by all accounts. NS was sat next to my Mrs for one of the events we attended, but she was at all of them.

[BarneyBreslin]

Nice one. Mate got 2 on Thursday in the presale so I was sorted. Tried this morning for the rest of our group, not a sniff, all gone in 2 minutes.

I photographed Franz Ferdinand last night at the Barrowlands. Packed venue and FF were on fine form. I'll hopefully be back on St Patrick's night for SLF

[patch1875]

Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball(Gomez) tomorrow night.

Seen them last year and they are superb well worth checking out.

[LustForLeith]

Went to see Kiss of Life last night. Biggest kpop gig in Scotland believe it or not. Youngest daughter loves kpop and I don’t mind it.

Here’s a question- what’s the script for parking near the 02 in Glasgow? One of my mates suggested the car park at the co op, I was wondering if there’s any other places nearby?

Thanks

There’s a road opposite that we turn up and it’s usually easy to park there.

Yes just looked on the map Cook street usually has space as well.

One good thing about Glasgow gigs never seems to be a big issue to find parking!

[Gatecrasher]

I saw Limp Bizkit at the Hydro last night, what a gig. The crowd was mental.

[LustForLeith]

Thanks for the parking suggestions!

Wee car park near the Barrowlands is now no more. It was at the bottom of a set of flats, up the wee side street from a takeaway. That used to be brilliant for free parking at the Barras

[LustForLeith]

Another 02 Glasgow question!

There’s not anywhere really near the venue for a bite to eat is there?

I appreciate it’s not too far to head back into the centre of Glasgow. Thinking of dumping the car near the venue and then heading to get something to eat before going back to the venue!

Don’t think so it’s pretty industrial around there. Cook street has a couple of food places on it that look like they only do deliveries only there’s always mopeds sitting outside it.

Ten or so minute walk back into town and if you head towards Central Station there are plenty of places to eat in West Nile Street and Renfield Street.

I was in Babs yesterday which is a Meze type restaurant which is in West Nile Street and 5 minute walk from Central Station. Superb food.

Depends if you like Moroccan, Lybian, Syrian, Kurdish food or not. We went to Naranj a while back and it was lovely. But if you want something a bit more standard then head back into town.

[Sylar]

O2 is no more than a 10 minute walk (or 5 minute taxi) to central Glasgow - a quick hop onto the Shoogle at St Enoch 1 stop and you're at the door of the O2 too...

3 of my favourite bands today announced "UK tours", with not a single date that ventures outside of England - I'm getting so utterly sick of how much Glasgow is dwindling as a location (certainly in the rock/punk/metal scene). In the last 12 months, that's Rise Against, Beartooth, Silverstein, Thursday, Superheaven, Architects, Spanish Love Songs, Slayer, Allt (to name but a few) bands that have completely missed out Scotland (not to mention Northern Ireland, and mostly Wales too).

Major venues in Scotland will ultimately end up closing their doors if booking agents and artists continue to ignore Scottish stops on major tours.

[marinello59]

Saw the Mary Wallopers last night, good fun as always despite the recent departure of Sean McKenna.

[Northernhibee]

As others have said, it's a short walk into the city centre. The St Enoch centre has a few places. You are spoilt for choice if you cross the bridge, it's only a 10-15 minute walk.

[CropleyWasGod]

Billy Joel has postponed his Murrayfield gig for a year.

[Frazerbob]

Emotional night in Glasgow on Monday as Fish signed off on a stellar career. Fans from far and wide in attendance and a cracking set to end it all. I first saw Marillion at the Playhouse in 1987, was at Fish’ final gig with them at Fife Aid in St Andrews and saw many solo shows, including at the Hibs Club. He’ll be sorely missed. Hope we see him at Easter Road on occasion but it a long trip from the Outer Hebrides.

There's a subway station car park next door. On the left as you're looking at the building.

Be wary, though. It uses ANPR (or something beyond my comprehension), and that doesn't work too well if people drive up to the gate too quickly. :rolleyes: So it can take a while to get out.

Heading to the Cathouse Glasgow right now to see Blacktop Mojo and Shamans Harvest.

The Blockheads are playing The Mac Arts on Thursday night , I'm thinking of going if it doesn't clash with a hospital appointment I'm waiting to hear about

The Blockheads were fantastic , the fact that yesterday was the anniversary of Ian Dury's passing made it even more special . Decent support from The Rooks who come from Hamilton

Saw Primal Scream at the Usher Hall last night.

Overall, a good show. We were under the overhang of the balcony so struggled to understand what Bobby Gillespie was saying (strangely enough, could make out the words when he sang them). The band were tight, great guitarist.

There was a mid-point lull and I was getting a bit bored, but it picked up again and he got the place rocking.

Baxter Dury (ian's son) was support. He was decent, but a tad one dimensional. Certainly gave it plenty in his delivery, but would perhaps benefit from a more varied pace and a bit of his old man's humour.

Definitely not my thing. But I sometimes come across him on sky arts playing in some medieval square in Europe and it just looks a fantastic time is being had by all.

It really feels like gigs have taken a marked jump in price lately.

Was hoping to go see Refused at SWG3, and Real Friends supporting New Found Glory at the O2 Academy later this year but tickets were £53 and £45 respectively!

This was already after I'd shopped out £110 for 2 tickets to see Ice Nine Kills at the Hydro in December.

Last couple of times I’ve been there I’ve parked just off High Street, close to the motorway and not far to walk to the Barras.

[Sylar]

You can pretty much park out the front of the Barrowlands - the entire road along from it toward High St always has spaces and it's free after 6pm.

[patch1875]

We usually go round the back streets never any issues around there. There’s also a small car park on the street to the left when facing the barra’s.
