  1. Other than festivals… in order of awesomeness.. 
     

    Madonna - O2

    Pulp - Sheffield Arena

    Self Esteem - Sheffield O2 Academy

    Baby Queen - Leadmill

    Dead Pony - Sidney and Matilda

    Suede - Sheffield O2 Academy

    Gaz Coombes - Leadmill

  2. That vogue clip is so badly recorded, you’re missing most of the music and backing.. it sounds a million times better live. Proves she’s singing live though! 
    It’s a great show in person, the choreography and lighting is great, the performance impressive, her vocals sound very much live and beautiful. People will still pick her apart because she’s 65 and needs to take it a little bit easier these days but she still delivers a classic madonna performance that’s well worth seeing.  It’s always been about the production with Madonna rather than her vocals being lady gaga level perfection. (I love Gaga too).
     

  3. No surprise to see boygenius and related acts filling my top 5 this year.. they were definitely a highlight.. Madonna playlists on repeat in the run up to seeing her at the O2.. same with baby queen.

  4. One thing that’s occurred to me about that host file loophole is.. how would you know if the server you used was a production booking server and not a test or dev server?  Could you end up buying tickets in a test environment?  I guess not since that didn’t seem to happen in the main sale. 

  5. I was just looking at tickets for Madonna’s return to London next week and wondering if if I could afford to see her twice (I can’t) because I loved the show so much… 

    So the BST rumours and improving likelihood of a potential Glastonbury headline slot make me very happy.

    This is at least the 10th example of this i've seen this year. They've seriously f**ked up.

    We had one of those in our group; she posted an image of her registration confirmation email and what we were entering was definitely right but coming up as invalid..  Weird.

    I had a bit of a different experience this year.  Was through almost immediately to the booking page on two devices.  After submitting registration details, it went to the 20 second refresh page.  I don't recall that previously. Figured once at the booking page, you were good to go (until you try to select coaches and there are none left...)

    We had this.. since when was there a second holding page? We were held on the add registrations URL.

    BabyQueen was a pleasantly surprising find for me at Y Not! last year. Excellent live I thought.

    I got into her via a recommendation from Courtney Love (who seems to be trying to encourage Bella to leave pop behind for heavier, more rocky directions). 
    She writes very catchy tunes and is great fun live.  Be interesting to see which direction she goes in..

  9. BabyQueen last night at the Leadmill.  Hadn’t seen her before so didn’t know what to expect but was happily surprised to find a lot of her songs beefed up into chunky pop bangers by the live band.. some ballads just Bella playing piano by herself and some great new tracks.  A couple of misses in the new stuff but mostly great.  Everyone went wild for Want me and We can be anything at the end.  
    Would definitely see her again, she’s good fun on stage (had a wardrobe malfunction and ended up changing outfit between songs and various other randomness).

  10. Madonna and Gaga would be unmissable for me.  (I missed gaga first time round and have massively regretted it ever since).  I went to see Madonnas new tour and have been obsessed ever since..as Emily said, she’s back. 
    Love a lot of Dua’s songs but haven’t been that bothered to see her live yet but would if she was headlining the pyramid.

    Depeche mode are on my list of bands I love but have yet to see so they’re up there too.. same for green day.
