I'll be there too. Last time I saw her was in Mono... might be a tad different. Can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Love Songs were terrific, I think they have a real future. The Menzingers played a monster set, I really couldn't think of many songs they didnt play that I'd have wanted to see. The only wee niggle is that one of the vocalists (they take turns on different songs) sounds great on record but really not great live. Not a big deal for a band like that really though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Tickets arrived today for Tide Lines at the Kelvingrove bandstand. Also, was deleted to be informed by one of my fourth years that the Greenday, Fallout Boy and Weezer gig had been moved to the Green, making more tickets available. Wanted to see Green Day for years, so that'll be class, with the other two as a bonus!Knowing my luck it'll pish it down for both though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Next up for me is The Menzingers in London on Saturday. Going to book the Friday at Leeds Festival as well. Have tickets for my sixth year in a row at 2000 Trees in July but I'm getting a bit worried at the moment that it's going to lose its magic with the increased capacity and price with a similar size lineup. Early days still though so I'm hoping that they have something big lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone any ideas what time they are likely to come on With Axl f**k knows. But in all honesty they would probably go on stage about 8. So far I have read nothing about support acts which is concerning. Green Day, the day before, who I'm not really into have Weezer and Fallout Boy as support acts. So its worth the £80 ticket price for 3 well known bands. But I am not paying that just for GNR. I know in America the Smashing Pumpkins are opening for them for a few gigs. If they are opening for them here then I will pony up. Also I have just bought tickets for Friday at Leeds festival just to see Rage against the Machine. I had this panic moment last night thinking that since they are only playing two gigs in the UK they might sell out super fast and I was not risking waiting till I was home from work. So this morning I was frantically refreshing ticketmaster for tickets at work. f**k you I won't do what you pay me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be on time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Really fancy the guns n roses gig but can't get time off work. Anyone any ideas what time they are likely to come on I’d imagine they’ll be on about 8:30 - 9pm as they’ll need to be done by 11pm for noise laws and all that pish. Still disappointed they didn’t do a stadium gig on a weekend night up here.Also I have just bought tickets for Friday at Leeds festival just to see Rage against the Machine.I seen RATM at Reading in 2000 so not all that fussed. Fed up of their disbanding and reforming for a pay day pish. They’re coming in for a fair bit of stick for the obscene prices they’re charging for a ticket to their U.S tour dates as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did three hours and a half at Download when they played there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hip Priest Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A week ago tonight I was at Carly Rae Jepsen at the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. As you'd expect from one of the great recording artists of our time, it was a strong set list and a really charismatic performance. Top marks to Carly, though the venue was a bit pish. Since then, I got a ticket for Suede at the Usher Hall in the autumn. It'll be the first time I've seen them since their "farewell" tour in 2003. They're playing Coming Up in full... A perfectly decent album, but I can't listen to it (I tried again this week) without feeling it was the sound of a band losing their magic... Still, the album's not that long so they'll hopefully "pad out" their set with some classics! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading Tom Morelos tweets trying to stamp out that fire. Apparently aside from some charity tickets that are stupidity overpriced to begin with, every single ticket they sell costs about $120. But just about every shows tickets have been bought by scalpers who have jacked up the prices to stupid amounts. I seen over $1.4K for tickets. I don’t understand why sites like ticketmaster don’t lock in resell fees to be within a few £ of what was paid. Oh yeah I do.

Then saw them in Barcelona in 2018 and it was well over 3 hours. Id imagine stage time for them will be about half seven. Gates are at five. Their support bands over the past few years have been quite variable in quality. In Ireland they had Royal Blood and Mark Lanegan, who were both superb. In Barça, it was Volbeat, who albeit a more "niche" band were also excellent. My mate saw them at Wembley and they got the Kills who are garbage.

So you get your moneys worth. But after 2hrs you are fucked and wont want to jump around to Paradise City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
