Upcoming gigs?

**DH1875** · 02-12-2022 09:38 AM

Been roped into going to see the complete Stone Roses at the O2 next week. Should be good as they doing the full set from the 2nd coming tour. Definitely Oasis also playing and doing the full 1997 Be here now tour set. Also Blur and Pulp tribute bands on as well. Gonna be a long long day but the Complete Stone Roses are class.

I think Saga are going to be running trips to Glastonnext year.

***J-C*** · 05-12-2022 06:27 PM

Hydro tomorrow night to see the wonderful Alter Bridge, lost count how many times we've seen them. Supported by the Halestorm (LIzzy Hale fwoar) and Mammoth WVH.

Going tonight as well. Love AB they are one of my fav bands. New album especially the opening track is epic.

Proclaimers tonight at the Playhouse

**davy67 +** · 09-12-2022 07:38 PM

Last trip along to The Mac Arts Centre of the year tomorrow night to see Colonel Mustard & Djion 5 , with Brownbear in support. Looking forward to another cracking night out

***SteveHFC*** · 09-12-2022 09:41 PM

Johnny Marr also making a appearance

Will be some gig that.

Me too. And ffs I've never seen an audience less able to stay in their seat for more than two songs at a time. Guy in our row must have gone out for drinks and the loo seven times. Also; people who take flash photos or video, lighting up everyone within the next few rows. They will get rubbish photos and just upset everyone around them.

Proclaimers still a class act, nonetheless. Second biggest cheer of the night was for Cap In Hand.

I noticed the reaction to cap in hand was much louder and more enthusiastic than any time Ive seen them before, that's not to say it wasn't well received those other times too

I don't mind folk using their phones for the odd photo or recording but FFS turn the light off. The stage lights do that job just fine.

***Frazerbob*** · 10-12-2022 10:36 AM

Scouting for Girls tomorrow in the Weedge. Always a fun gig.

Also got tickets for The Killers in Ingliston this morning. £85 ooft

***Jim44*** · 10-12-2022 11:50 AM

The Proclaimers, supported by Blue Rose Code in Perth on Wednesday.

Great gig as usual tho.

Now you've made me feel bad! Tbf the Playhouse seats are not designed for the modern day Proclaimers fan ...

Definitely not. Snug to say the least. Standing gigs much better. Funnily enough I bought playhouse tickets rather than Dunfermline Alhambra because the last time everyone stood for the entirety at the playhouse while at the Alhambra everyone stayed seated for pretty much the whole night. Typically, the Alhambra took the seats out this time

Tickets sorted for A Flock of Seagulls at Bannermans next year. Should be brilliant

**LancashireHibby** · 15-12-2022 10:30 PM

Kevin Bridges on top form in Leeds*tonight. Great to watch a comedian on stage rather than on a massive screen behind. Probably a contributing factor as to why me and Mrs both enjoyed it far more than we did seeing Peter Kay the other week.*

***Green Man*** · 13-01-2023 10:03 AM

I managed to get tickets for Suede at Stereo, only 300 capacity. Should be incredible.

**~~Hermit Crab~~** · 19-01-2023 10:25 AM

I've bagged Madonna tickets for her show at the O2 arena in London, not cheap by any means but once in a lifetime for me. Absolutely delighted.

Nice one tried and failed.

Tickets for them in March though.

Very pleased for you. I have a number of once in a lifetime gigs I can look back on, so I'm pleased for anyone who pushes the boat out to see a gig they really want to see.

Done VIP for the Pet Shop Boys on Hogmanay as well, they were outstanding but the VIP experienced was an absolute con. Flat standing area so if you were not at the front you couldn't see a thing, no shelter either, the bar was outside the VIP area so you had to show your wrist band twice before getting back in, all while carrying 3/4 drinks. £7 a can of Amstel and £7.50 a can of pre mixed vodka cranberry as well. Complained to the organiser but not heard back from them. Those who bought tickets for the Gardens or terracing below us had a much better view. It was an absolute disgrace. £310 for 2 tickets to look at the back of someones head for 2 hours.

She's just added a 2nd night (knew she would as theres big gaps in the dates of her tour), glad I got the Saturday night though, spend the day in London before hand. Now I just need to find someone to go with. This will probably be her last tour given that she's 64 now, always wanted to see her but never got the chance previously. Massive crush of mine when too, even now. £450 for 2 tickets, she's worth it.

***J-C*** · 19-01-2023 09:20 PM

We've got Black Stone Cherry co headlining with the Darkness at OVO Hydro on the 30th of this month. Love BSC but not a huge fan of The Darkness.

Just booked tickets for Southside Johnny in London next July.

Maybe not of much interest to most, (except Brog

) but read on....

They're playing on the 7th July. Springsteen is in London, doing gigs on the 6th and the 8th. They have a long history of rocking up to each other's gigs when they can.

So... any London-based posters who couldn't get tickets for Bruce, this might be an option

Disclaimer.... he might not turn up, but you will still have a helluva night

Bought tickets on this basis at the time! Cheers.

Weird Al/ Emo Phillips, Deacon Blue, Black Keys. Frankie Boyle all booked. Still to sort tickets for Rezillos.

It's been about Celtic Connections for me recently.

Started off with the Roamin' Roots Revue.... bit of a mixed bag, but with some magical moments.

Then an African night, including the last standing member of the Bhundu Boys (the band that moved John Peel to tears).

Tomorrow finish off with some Shooglenifty.

In other news, Springsteen's tour kicked off on Wednesday night. Some major omissions from the set-list (Thunder Road ffs!!) , but he's notorious for changing things around, so not fretting yet.

**davy67 +** · 03-02-2023 05:59 PM

First gig of the year tomorrow night Fatherson at The Mac Arts Centre in Galashiels, part of Independent Venue week. One of many visits I've got lined up to great wee venue

**YehButNoBut** · 04-02-2023 09:57 AM

Got tickets for The Who, Sunday 9th July at Edinburgh Castle.

First time at the castle for a gig.

Thunder Road was back in the set list last night, hopefully played at Murrayfield
