Just had an email through cancelling all the Eden sessions - tickets to be rolled over. 

I know, I'm gutted.. can't really understand why it's cancelled considering all restrictions are meant.to end by June 21st.

I'm guessing if bands are not in a position to do their whole tours then it's not worth the costs incurred to get on the road for one off's and given lots of countries haven't given dates of when they are lifting then it probably isn't worth the risk. If it's close and the dates are not quite confirmed as well bands won't want to risk further loss of earning by incurring costs they might not get back.

My (our, sorry Mrs oneeye) daughter's Wedding, 3rd time rearranged, now late Sept 21, gotta believe that it will finally happen. 👰🏼👰🏼

MCR was before wasn't it? I was going to not go if i got glastonbury tickets with it being so close in time yet so far in distance for me

So the Kelis gig that I thought would be the first one back (but I was skeptical with her being an American artist) has now been cancelled. I am however feeling a little more optimistic and have bought tickets for The Staves and Beach Bunny - paging @Quarkin case he doesn't know they are touring over here. 

Hoping to get Laura Marling tickets on Friday as well. Time to start getting a bit more hopeful for the future.

I did not know this!  Missed out on Staves tix but will try for Beach Bunny! Thanks lovely 🙂

EDIT: bumsticks, only playing up in Tufnell Park and that's a big ol' pain in the arse for me.  Will have to pass on it. But thanks for the heads up!

Sorry I've got a Valentines date with them! Hopefully it might mean they are around for Festival season.

Do the Meteor Street pilgrimage first and make it worth the journey. Ideal for pre-gig beers!

Confession - never watched Spaced!

North London's just not worth it.  Allowing for getting to the station, getting to London and getting across to TP, I'm looking at 2 hrs in each direction.  Last train to get back is about 23:30, so I've either got to leave a gig early or absolutely sprint across town shitting myself.

If I want to drink then it's even longer to get the bus, so call that 2.5 hrs there, and a £30 odd cab ride home. So between 4-5 hours travel and £50-£60 in travel costs. And if I miss that last train, add in another £30-£40 cab costs.

I'll stick with Brighton 😄

So looks like Doreen Doreen will be my first Gig which is in July in Bristol. That will be an absolute blast.

 

Wait wait, just realised  I have Jade Bird at the end of June, which is before July 🙂

My gig list is all over the shop!

Just realised I've got a ticket for the IDLES Brighton gig on 13th Sep. Then also realised that the Rolling Blackouts gig is 1st Sep.

I fear I may have lost track of it all...

Chemical Brothers screening of Don't Think has now leapt to the top of my list in early June.

Have read that previous screenings have been more like gigs than the cinema - plus there's a Justin Robertson DJ set.

I've been trying to go through mine now and it looks like The Lovely Eggs will be my first gig back unless any of the others that are still to be re-scheduled sneak in before it. My October is looking rammed already. 

[Avalon_Fields]

Impossible to be sure, but what I have tickets for which are still listed:

Atlin Gun 13 May

Oh Sees 16 May

Black Country, New Road 25 Jun (Socially distanced gig so likely to be my first)

Bearded Theory 9 Sept - Will know soon...

Genesis 24 Sept

Stick In The Wheel 28 Oct

Elton John 30 Oct

..and others later in the year.

[Northtim]

1st Gig not yet cancelled is Flaming Lips in Leeds 20th July - now that would be some gig to come back to but I'm very doubtful it will go ahead.

Big gap after that but hopeful for these in Leeds Oct/Nov:

Paul Heaton/Jacqui Abbott

Elton John

James/Happy Mondays

 

[Avalon_Fields]

I'm still tempted to go to the first gig that's on in the Manchester area, irrespective of who it is! OK I do have some limits but it's a serious consideration.

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

First proper gig currently looks like The Lovely Eggs on 12th July, followed by Warmduscher and Squid the same week. 11 socially distanced gigs booked in before mid-July too, with the first looking like being Penelope Isle on 25th May!

Snapped Ankles in Gorilla, Manchester.  A brilliant band, in a brilliant venue, with a brilliant immune system.  Can't wait.

Fucking brilliant live band. First time I saw them at end of the road festival I knew nothing about them, but I was hooked within 5 minutes. WTF, there's a load of bushes on stage!!!!!!
