Tempted to go to Bellahouston aswell tbh.
Nice one. Should be a good one. :thumbsup:Quote:

You missed a cracking gig. Great venue and the boys on top form!Quote:

If anyone spots any good but relatively inexpensive Peter Gabriel Glasgow OVO tickets please post here.
I'm not paying TM prices and the cheaper seats are miles away, but if there's a sale before the show I might be interested.
If it counts, tickets for the restless natives podcast go on sale tomorrow
Doune The Rabbit Hole has been cancelled.
No refunds eitherQuote:

I don’t know how they could expect people to work at this year’s event when folk were still waiting to be paid for last year.
That'll be a death sentence for Doune if they're not offering refunds - I'm quite amazed they're allowed to get away with that.
What do we actually have in the way of music festivals left in Scotland? Is it just TRNSMT (which I wouldn't go near) and Belladrum?
Wish we'd get a proper heavy rock festival back in Scotland - fed up having to make my way to Leeds or Derbyshire each year!
AIUI, they paid the bigger acts up-front this year, in order to secure them and attract punters.Quote:

Just read the statement on their website, thanks for giving us your money but we had to pay our bills and now we’re cancelling and you can’t have it back. It’s not our fault it’s the union who wanted us to pay our bills.Quote:

Their marketing guy came onto me - I described their brand as toxic to the creative and technical communities.
He insisted that it would be different this year
They've actually charged volunteers who wanted to work there money to work and now looks like those folk have lost out on getting their money back FFS.
Do we know if Arctic monkeys gig is gonna go ahead on Sunday yet?
Nope. They have Glasto on Friday night so guess we’ll hear about that before anything else. 🤞🏼Quote:

Death Grps at the Barrowlands tonight was superb,very heavy.
Mrs Radge somehow got tickets to see First Aid Kit. I'm not sure where, but somewhere. I canny mind when either! 😂
Confirmed they are playing Glasto. Hopefully okay for SundayQuote:

Foos are imperious. Can't watch them without tears in my eyes these days.
Summer tour next year apparently - hoping that means either Murrayfield or Bellahouston Summer Sessions.
Sparks sounding miles better then they did when I saw them in 1974!
Does the word "live" mean something else when it's used on the iPlayer? Broad daylight!
Had to laugh at that. Live - last year's highlights 😂Quote:

Not even to do with not liking their new stuff, love The Car. It's exactly what you just said, seems methodical rather than anything else these days
Never been a huge fan of them bar a couple of songs but the Artic Monkeys have turned into a **** Neil Diamond tribute act you would see in a working man's club
When you do something like Glasto then folk only want to hear a greatest hits collection, your own tour is when you play all the other stuff
It's utter pish, he's singing in a stupid voice. I'm watching Sparks with Cate Blanchett one more time then that's all for tonight.Quote:

Opinions eh… no different from when I saw them live a couple of weeks ago and smashing it. They have 7 albums to choose from and have evolved massively as a band since their first album. Alex Turner is cool as to me too.
They weren’t that great before Turner put his guitar down. This is next level awful now. Still hopeful they finish with a two or three song burst of magic.
My issue is they’ve already played a couple of he ones I really like and it didn’t get any better. I don’t think I’ll be lasting to the end.Quote:

He’s a bit of an oddball, but I do think part of that is his stage persona.Quote:

Think it will be a competition to see who is the worst headliner this year. My money is fully on Guns'n'Roses mind you they truly are an abomination.
I'm struggling to pick more than 10 bands from the whole lineup that I'd want to listen to. Mind you I don't think I've even heard of 99% of them.
I’m not sure even ‘love is a laser quest’ could get me to turn it back on.. and I can already picture them murdering ‘do I wanna know?’ 🙈😂Quote:

😂 Are you being serious?Quote:

Every band on the roster will be expected to play their biggest hits. It's a festival. Foo Fighters are a prime example, you think they won't play their hits same as the album tonight?
They have played their biggest hits?Quote:

Anyway! If you enjoy it all power to you man. No point arguing over something that's so subjective! Both like the same band at the end of the day 👍🏻Quote:
Originally Posted by MountcastleHibs

Paolo Nutini has done the same thing with some of his music too. People will no doubt have their opinions about that too.Quote:

A rather wet but excellent show from Muse tonight in Glasgow. Great band.
Iron Maiden on Monday night at the hydro to follow. Can't wait.
Yep first time seeing Muse and thoroughly enjoyed that. That 5 minutes of mental rain was some laugh [emoji23]Quote:

Gone from being edgy young and enthusiastic to now being a tad boring. Just look at the Foos last night, all the energy of 18yr olds but are now all in their 50's and the crowd loved them.Quote:

I know everyone will have their own preferences/reasons for being at Glasto, but imagine having a secret act that you didn’t market being the absolute highlight of day 1 on a shortened set…
Was always going to happen. Foo Fighters could headline and be the highlight of any festival in the world. They are so popular, so good live and in the middle of a massive story with Taylor passing. They will probably be the highlight of the weekend because Axl is absolutely knackered and Elton isn't exactly in his prime. Not the best lineup this year. QoTSA did look good too from the little I've seen.Quote:

After watching them last night I had their Essential playlist on whilst out on my bike this morning. Some absolute classics
Rick Astley sings The Smiths. Not even funny.
Manics going through the motions in front of a crowd that know nowt about them. Shame.
That's me till The War On Drugs tomorrow, heard some of their stuff and quite like them.
Glad I changed my mind and turned over to The Pretenders with Johnny Marr and now Dave Grohl on drums! Sounding great.
So far from my usual genres or close to anything I'd normally listen to but watching Lizzo, bloody brilliant performance
I'm not his biggest fan but Lewis Capaldi introducing Ed Sheeran then saying he wasn't here was brilliant 😂
Ha funnily you should say that. Never heard of her or any of her songs but what a show. Superb.Quote:
