Managed to see quite some variety in 2024! Here are my picks:
Best small show: UPSAHL - Castle & Falcon, Birmingham
Best music-venue show: Joint awards to: Poppy - O2 Academy2, Birmingham & Confidence Man - O2 Institute, Birmingham
Best theatre show: Public Service Broadcasting - Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry
Best arena show: Joint awards to: Olivia Rodrigo - Utilita Arena (NIA Birmingham) & girl in red - OVO Arena (Wembley Arena)
Best stadium show: Taylor Swift - Wembley Stadium
Best overall? Tough to pick! I suppose Tay Tay pips it, for the sheer scale of the show and for the shared experience with my daughter who, of course, had been absolutely desperate to see her.
Been a very lucky man this year with gigs, so here are mine in order.
1 Foo Fighters London Stadium

3 Chemical Brothers Royal Albert Hall

Got 3 booked so far for next year

Suprefan deems Glastonbury a Primary School play.
Primary School plays being something you only ever attend to watch your child.
Suprefan attends Glastonbury year in year out.
