They have worked on the acoustics ls in there. I saw Penguin Cafe the other week and it was good. Different type of music of course

Noel Gallagher at Wembley arena last night, picked up a last minute cheap ticket on AXS resale.

Really enjoyed it and thought the sound in there was excellent however glad I was driving - £8.95 for a pint of Madri. Madness

It genuinely caught me out being out for dinner yesterday to see no cocktails below £11-12. Thought a venue beer would be closer to £10 than that.

Was that The grand in Kilmarnock, was tempted to go but had other plans. I assume they were on top form.

Aye 👍

Saw the Big Moon with strings at Papillon in Southampton last night. They were amazing.

I saw this too. Was a special set. Could have watched them for another hour.

It was fantastic! I could have easily watched another hour.

Ocean colour scene at Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday, absolutely glorious affair and guest appearances from PP Arnold and the Modfather himself Mr Weller. Brilliant night. Would love to see OCS make a return to the farm!

Dreadzone at the Wedgewood Rooms in Pompey. Absolutely joyous and Spee was on top form. Near enough to a perfect playlist for me 😀

I've seen them consistently every year since they opened the Glastonbury Main Stage in 94 and they're always fun👍

Saw Tom Jones in London Sunday night. Still a great voice, not as great as it was but still amazing for 83!

Won the tickets with Ladbrokes Live. I know a few people have asked what you get in the suites if you do win so here’s a few pictures of the view you get and the box

That's pretty good!

Seeing Madonna from there would've been brilliant!

I was worried when I booked the tickets that the view would be rubbish but you had a really great view. The sound was ok to. Not great but definitely passable

Great stuff from Bring Me The Horizon last night in Cardiff. Good old mix from the new stuff right back to the old bits. Production was superb as well.

On a sidenote, there were 3 'injuries' in the crowd and the show was stopped each time. Show didnt finish until 2312 which I wouldnt of thought would happen at The o2 for example.

Only saw Bad Omens as support, but they were really good. Well worth checking out at their own shows. Missed the other 2 supports beforehand.

Shed Seven at Rough Trade doing an album launch acoustic show, new tunes sounded cool, and the classics as good as ever, album number one this week as well.

Lottery Winners at the Manchester Apollo last night was EPIC!! I only heard of them last year pre Glasto through Efestivals then saw them at Avalon, one of their 5 appearances on the farm. They truly deserve so much more success and I'm sure it will come in time. Really hoping to see them back on the farm this year. Great songs, funny and really appreciate their fans

Such a great live band- always come away from one of their gigs bouncing and smiling.

Saw THE LOTTERY WINNERS in Leeds the other night, FANTASTIC! hopefully they will be back on the farm in June

Took in Miles Kane last night to kick off the latest tour, first time seeing him. Was taken aback at how fast-paced the show was. Seventy minutes, including an unplanned encore, all in all. Plenty of brio, but not sure a four-piece necessarily translates the nuances of the record. Still good.

They were! But unfortunately, I cannot tell you as I was in the pub. Sorry!

Seems they are supports Rick Astley on tour later this and next month. Hopefully a Glastonbury appearance beckons

Caught the Bat Sabbath schtick from Cancer Bats last night in Leeds, thunderously heavy and all played just that little bit faster. You wouldn't want to fork out a ransom for them but at a shade over twenty quid, you can't complain.

I was looking at doing that this coming saturday in Brighton - again, just over twenty quid, it seems like a good ol laugh

Saw Depeche Mode (for the first time in 31 years! Shhh!) at the O2 from the Ladbrookes Live suite after winning tickets and they were flipping great and the crowd were very much up for it. Saying that, they were utterly motionless for Nadine Shah supporting who was also good I thought. It's a shame I can't use a suite everytime we go to the O2 as being able to order drinks delivered to your seat so you don't miss anything and the toilets being 30 seconds away was rather excellent 😃

I can certainly see the appeal of those two perks, but you didn't feel it lost something in terms of the crowd? 

There are many posters here who like to go to a festival and get forward of the soundstage for atmosphere and the view.
