Really? It's a nice line-up though, definitely a nice chunk of my recent record collection there But Sparks on the second line is a crime as is Leftfield on the third Fever Ray isn't top billing and I say that as someone who likes her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Been a bit of a dry spell for me, but it's shaping up to be my best summer since the before times. In June I've got Download (Sunday only) and Ice Nine Kills, July is Maiden, Attila, Spiritbox and a local metal all day-er (Mangata Festival, mostly for Heart of a Coward and Raging Speedhorn). Then Bloodstock and Trivium in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 18, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2023 Contemplating going to the Oh Sees next week.which will be the end of a mini dry period for me. Last gig was the currently fêted The Dream Machine some months ago. Having to move house threw a few spanner’s in the works 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Emily Eavis's trainer field, and it still enjoys some privilege. The big secret Thursday gig is often there, and you get beautiful photogenic people hanging backstage. KD may be in the fold?

Or was that a fever dream? I’m not naming names if they don’t want to put their hand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Nearly. I worked in a recording studio with a former UK Sub. He called in Deptford John Armitage and we recorded a Combat 84 single over some downtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Off to what is for me these days are rare outing to see Vomitory, Exciter and Kvaen. Should be fun. Totally lost interest in going to gigs after Covid. Not that I'm uncomfortable in crowds, it's more that I got used to how nice it is to not be around people. Anyway, really looking forward to Kvaen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an acquaintance who works at the big gig venue where I live and he says the numbers are on average down about 1/3 compared to pre Covid. Small city so small sample size but still. I imagine the kids who are around 20 still go to a lot of gigs since they missed out on a lot while the world was shut down. Me and my friends are mainly in our 40's so I've lost interest and a lot of them got families and what not. Basically: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
