Crowded House + Magic Numbers + The Thrills + Tiny Dancers - Indigo2

Having blagged a couple of tickets at the last minute via e-bay we find ourselves back at the O2 for the opening night of the Indigo2 Arena. The session in the Pilot was reduced as there are 4 bands (...

Snow Patrol + The Disciplines - O2 Arena

7 years after it closed its doors, the Dome is back to justify the millions we all spent on it. And for our money we get not just a new music venue but 2 new music venues, cinema complex and a variet...

Knowsley Hall - Day 2 - Keane

It was touch and go whether we would chance Day 2 given the diabolical conditions the previous day but the morning started off dry and we had £75 of tickets that I didn't want to go to waste. When we ...

Knowsley Hall - Day 1 - The Who

Not the best of starts when we arrived to find a snake of a queue to get in and the doors not even open despite there being about 15 minutes before the first act were due on. After being told to put a...

INXS + The (English) Beat + Koopa - Hammersmith Apollo

After 2 days rest it is back into gig action. This is one of those gigs where you don't know whether you want to go or not. There is no doubt that INXS best days are over and at £30 a ticket, are they...

Pearl Jam + Idlewild - Wembley Arena

This is the 4th gig in 4 days including 2 festivals so in a way it is probably just as well we have seats even if they couldn't really be situated much further way from the action. Havi...

O2 Wireless Festival - Kaiser Chiefs - Hyde Park

Here we are back in the park for the final day of this year's O2 Wireless festival. Luckily there has been little rain so the going is firm and there are several more new names and old favourites to c...

Marillion + Public Sympathy - The Forum

Marillion have rarely had decent support bands and quite often don't have any at all. Public Sympathy don't do anything to inspire me with their dull and dated sound. Visually they usually appear with...

Muse + The Streets + Dirty Pretty Things + Rodrigo y Gabriela - Wembley Stadium

The moment we step foot outside Wembley Park tube, the heavens opened. By the time we get inside the stadium it is clear that despite £800m being spent on the arena, they forgot that it does occasiona...

O2 Wireless Festival - White Stripes

An overcast day in Central London with a few threats of rain but at least not the downpours we had been expecting. After a quick recky of the site I begin things in the XFM Tent. Most of the bands in...
