Great set and I know no one here will give a hoot 😄 I was there Friday also, brilliant gig and a superb setlist from him. Nice mix of Style Council, Jam and his solo stuff. Cracking!

Punchdrunk, the burnt city, in London yesterday. They certainly know how to put that type of immersive show together. Their new home is immense. As with all their shows I have seen it is equal measure confusing and wondrous. Loved they locked everyone's phones in bags so you were just involved in the show with no distractions. Some amazing detail but most went right over my head due to my lack of Greek literature knowledge. Still thinking about it today We're going to Burnt City in June, and cannot wait. Sleep No More blew my mind in NYC, so very excited by this. Fully get your description of confusing and wonderous, and great to hear this is no different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Went to see EMF in London on Saturday. Great show, it's the best I've heard them sounding in a long time. The new stuff stands up well against the first two albums, and they're clearly enjoying being out there again. Would work well in Avalon I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 The War on Drugs were great last night in Birmingham. They are a pretty flawless live band and Adam is a genius. Light show was pretty cool too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamba Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Nice and cool up on the balcony! Not my usual choice but made a nice change and meant my wife could actually see something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Was at TWOD in Birmingham too and thought it was fantastic. Came on at 8.45 and played right up to the 11 curfew, always appreciate when a band skips the encore nonsense and gets on with it. Their songs are obvs great anyway but they sounded huge live. Give them a stage to headline at Glastonbury and watch them make everyone's night. Support was by a band called Lo Moon, who I didn't know but thought were really good too. They had a sound that suited a band that would support TWOD that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Saw Andy Fairweather Low in Cardiff on Sunday. On top form. A set in two parts, acoustic and then more electric second half. The band were really enjoying themselves and AFL was witty and chatty as well as being a stunning guitarist. Odd that about half the audience were wearing masks throughout.

RarerThanDandyB Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Very jealous TWOD played Strangest Thing // Arms Like Boulders // Red Eyes. Hope we get that trio at the Leeds gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerevans84 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Saw Bakar at the Kentish Town Forum last night. Nice night of toe tappers. Felt a bit old mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Beautiful acoustic gig from Father John Misty at St George's Church Bristol last night. Went to the early (1830) show. Just FJM, an acoustic guitar and a pianist playing a baby grand. Really appreciative crowd who were silent other than applause and when FJM opened the floor to impromptu Q&A, plus very few people filming. For £35 inc a vinyl copy of the new album it was a steal.

Hotchilidog Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Not really Glastonbury relevant but I went to see The Mission at Chalk in Brighton last night. Absolutely superb, they had a blast in the first return to the stage in two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpyrob Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Is anybody going to khurangabin tomorrow at ally pally? Absolutely buzzing to go, have wanted to see these guys for a few years now since I was introduced! When finishing out they were playing glastonbury it's almost a relief because there is now no pressure to see them there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Two years ago I bought tickets for Sparks in Barrowlands Glasgow, as hadn't seen them or been there and heard both were great. Two years later went to see them tonight and it fully lived up to billing, I've been to a lot of festivals and gigs and it's hard to think of a time an audience has been more full of warmth and love for a band. BTW two extra reasons I'm thankful-its a 700 mile round trip so would have been a right disappointment, secondly I was dosed up with immodium so was delighted to get through 2 hours in a standing venue.

Losing my hair Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Sea Power at the Roundhouse tonight (3rd time in 7 months 🙂) with the excellent Penelope Isles in support. Great way to start the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Went to go see The Vaccines with Black Honey in support at Aylesbury Waterside last night. Felt like less people were there than for their equivalent date at the same venue in early 2019. Still had a good time though. Loud and punchy stuff.

Carpyrob Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Khurangabin smashed it at ally pally! Would Deffo see again at glastonbury! They played all their own classics, and mashed it Up with some well known older classics. For example,David BowiE, let's dance. Sccoby snacks. So many more but can't remember as I'm ready for bed after a few too many drinks. Almost felt like a warm up for glastonbury. Seeing what was popular. Either way, hell of a show. Not to be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpyrob Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Too add, I can see half their set at glastonbury being leon bridges focused. I hope it's only a tune or two personally. Their own stuff is much more me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing my hair Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Just home from Sea Power. As always, an amazing gig - they are probably my favourite live band and certainly the one I've seen the most. Support from Penelope Isles who I last saw in 2020 just before lockdown arrived. They've really matured as a band since then, very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
