Who Will You be Seeing During the Run Up?

[darrenbha]

The Bronx, Propagandhi, Levellers with PAMA International and Hobo Jones, Jim Bob a couple of times and Bearded Theory

[micawber]

Frank Turner & The Gaslight Anthem - Friday (if not snowed off)

AC/DC - April

Nightmare of You - April

Ditto - Special K. And the message advising that deposits have to be paid "today" needs updating.

[sifi]

I've got a ticket to see Bob Dylan in April.

I'm petrified about the whole business.

[thegremlin_1999]

Reel Big Fish and Metallica in Feb

Chris Cornell start of March

AC/DC and The Prodigy in April

Download

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds Live

all good

just need NIN for one of Download, Glasto or Leeds please (and some more headline shows please Trent...)

[loosechange]

Last.fm tells me before Glasto I'm currently going to Mills at Dublin Castle this month, Elbow at Wembley / Doves at the Forum / Mr Hudson at the Scala in March, Airborne Toxic Event at Kings / Duke Special at the Scala in April so far.

I dare say I'll squeeze a few more in before then though.

So, only what...? 4 months till June?

What bands/acts/artists/comedians etc. will you be seeing to entertain you over the next few months or even beyond?

I saw Bloc Party on saturday and I'm seeing Gaslight Anthem tomorrow.

In a strange way, I sort of hope that Bloc Party DO play Glasto, so that I DON'T have to go and see them. Not that they weren't good (they were great) but the more bands there are that I feel obliged to see at Glasto the less time I'll have to wander around and 'go with the flow'. So now if Bloc Party do play I can say 'Done that' and wander around aimlessly instead.

- Who's everyone seeing?

- Is there anyone you've decided not to see in hope that they'll be playing in June? i.e Springsteen

- Is everything else overshadowed by Glasto?

- Is anyone starving themselves of live music in the run up?

What's everyone doing to pass the time?

[zeppelin]

[Innana]

Metallica - end Feb

Oliver Mtukudzi and Baaba Maal - early March

Tinariwen - late March

Jackson Brown - end March

David Byrne and Brian Eno - early April.

That'll do for the time being

[18Alex18]

I'm supposed to be seeing the Gaslight Anthem tonight but in a way I'm hoping it gets cancelled because we live 45 minutes to an hour away from Birmingham, which, at 6pm tonight in the snow, could take a lot longer. Has anyone else had their social plans scupppered by the snow?

[Eyebath]

Just Prodigy and Basement Jaxx for me

[Sipperana]

It's all in the signature - even the supporting acts are gonna be worth seeing at some of these gigs - The Acorn with Elbow, Shearwater with Beirut.

Ironically though Glasvegas are headlining Shockwaves they're possibly the one act out of the four I'm least fussed about seeing.

[DirkDiggler]

Erm, not alot really, The Specials in a few weeks and John Cooper Clarke a week after that. Should sort some more stuff out really.

Oh, i do merch for a band aswell, at the end of April ill spend a month with them. Good times.

The Specials at Brum Academy, Doves at Coventry Kasbah & Bearded Theory fest. I'm sure there'll be a few more along the way though.

[suchacharmer]

US tours don't usually get announced until a month or two before they are set to happen, atleast with British bands, and that's all I usually end up seeing. So right now I've only got the following lined up:

2/6 - Los Campesinos - my student union

4/2 - White Lies, Friendly Fires - Triple Rock, Minneapolis

4/30 - The Killers - The Rave, Milwaukee

5/9 - The Kills - The Metro, Chicago

and I'm 100% positive I will be seeing Franz Ferdinand and Maximo Park when they announce tours, I'm just impatiently waiting for that to happen right now.

[alanc]

Marmaduke Duke; Camden Crawl; Specials. All London. I'm sure there are a couple of others, but I can't remember them -- they'll just be pleasant surprises when they tickets turn up.

-- Knew there was someone else, Jools Holland. :-D

Shall be larking around at Bearded Theory festival to help pass the time.

If nothing else, it takes 6 weeks off the wait until the first fest of the year.

Art Brut
