Saw YES in Glasgow on the 24th May and then in Newcastle (the Sage in Gateshead) on 2 June.

Good to hear I'm not the only one doing multiple shows. Glasgow audience - as is often the case - the best audience of the tour. Also nice to find another long term fan!

Nick Mason next week.

Rammstein in Dublin on 23rd. Nathaniel Rateliffe and the Night Sweats in Glasgow on 26th.

Small one on Sunday, Sneaky Pete's to see HYMALAYAS.

[CropleyWasGod]

Safehouse at Stramash on Saturday.

Always a good psych-out for the hippies.....

So does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether or not you can get a pint at the castle during a gig then?

My son is working for Innes & Gunn at the castle gigs so some form of alcohol will be there.

Going to the Queens Hall on Friday to see "Legend - The Music of Bob Marley". As far as I can tell it is a tribute band doing all the biggest hits from Marley's back catalogue. Fair looking forward to it.

If it's the same as last year. Pint yes, draft no. So currently no definitive answer...

Last time I was there (Elbow, July 2022) you could not.

Foo Fighters last night at Hampden and they didn’t disappoint. First time I have seen them without Taylor Hawkins on the drums.

Outstanding evening.

Just back from seeing Billy Talent at the Barrowlands. A thoroughly overdue return to Scotland, and a relentless, energetic set full of hits.

I was there too. My only complaint was that I didn't think the sound quality was that great on the pitch. There was a noticeable difference when I went into the stand at the Rangers end to go to the toilet.

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.

Hampden is dreadful for sound quality. Been around 6 or 7 gigs there and they've all been terrible (U2 being the worst)

Amazing gig from Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets at Manchester Apollo last night. Glasgow tomorrow!

Nile Rodgers gig was superb, discotastic.

Saw him last summer at Cropredy. Was absolutely fantastic.

On my way to Manchester right now to see Pearl Jam tonight. Should be a cracker.

[Sloop67]

Bombskare tomorrow night in Gala

[overdrive]

Kasabian last night at the Corn Exchange/O2 Academy. Brilliant and a really decent crowd considering it was all last minute and tickets only went on sale a couple of weeks ago.

[Bishop Hibee]

Manic Street Preachers supported by Suede last night at the Castle. Great gig made better by watching from the posh seats in the Royal Box. Getting auld so appreciated a padded seat and nice loos 😁

Madness were absolutely brilliant last week but the castle was a bit of a shambles.

Half hour wait to get in, folk being refused for being pished, another half hour que for a can of Innis and Gun, and a 20 minute wait for a pish. Great idea for a venue, but disorganised chaos.

Was at The National at the Castle last night, excellent gig.
No issues with the organisation at all, minimal queue to get in, didn't buy anything to drink in the place as I had a hip flask, toilets weren't too bad.
Was probably down to the older, less rowdy crowd, was full of old guys like me.

[BILLYHIBS]

Really enjoyed The Killers and Travis at The Hydro on 25/6/2024

Brandon Flowers in top form an excellent front man who truly gave each hit 100% and looked as though he really enjoys what he does

Sums up why I don't go to gigs any more!

That's the third time I've seen them and it's been a different set every time.

I loved how they ended the show acoustically last night.

Courteeners have just announced a new tour with DMAs for November. Hopefully be getting involved in that.

Will be booking that, really like both

Back to the Castle for Skipinnish tonight. Fantastic. Not the sort of music I listen to in the car or in the house but live it’s sensational. Better attended than the Manics gig I was at on Wednesday . The audience were far more mental too 🕺🏼 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First time I've seen them, I like a lot of they're albums but they seemed almost different live, a lot more energy or something.
Matt Berninger's a superb front man. Was well impressed, hopefully I'll see them again.
