AIBU wow London last night

Metallica as well next weekend!

Harry was amazing.

shush!
Burnham will ban them all and insist they can only play up North lol

Love London! My friend was there visiting family last week and talked of the tube being a packed mix of rugby fans and Harry fans, all having a great time, great atmosphere.

I was about to say how are we on page 3 of the thread and noone has mentioned the Mighty Metallica next weekend!!!

Lily was incredible! Getting back to Suffolk was a nightmare, but absolutely worth it!

Next weekend two nights of Metallica! I’m spending the summer in another country and there are NO GIGS. I will be miserable.

We were at the TT concert on Saturday night too and they were bloody brilliant! As were Belinda Carlisle and The Script. The thing that spoilt it (a bit) was the time it took to get out of Stratford International car park 🫣 over an hour just sitting with nothing moving! No idea what the issue was but when we did eventually get to the exit, the barriers were up so we didn't have to pay the EXTORTIONATE £28.75 (instead of the normal £9.50 on normal days) car park fee so win win!

I was at TT on Thursday and it was amazing I was also one of the cowboy hat wearing people for Garth Brooks on Saturday and that was fantastic as well.

I heard stories like that about TTs last tour, I went, but in a cheap resale for £35 right at the top of The Hydro.
I got Saturdays ticket resale too, £55, but for floor and there were absolutely no issues where I was luckily.
Harry was an utter dream of course, he always is, can't wait to go again.

Nothing better than a London love thread!!

best city in the world!!

How did I not know they were playing?! Fuck!
Seeing the Streets with my DS at Ally Pally soon…can’t wait!

We are spoilt for choice in London. It’s one of the many things I love about living here.

I was at Harry Styles with my DD on Friday. Absolutely bloody brilliant (and yes, we did pay a lot, but friends of DD got £30 tickets on the day from a resale site).

I was also at Gorillaz at Spurs a couple of weeks ago, which was amazingly good fun, too. Such a joyous night!

It’s the best city in the world for live music.

@socialdilemmawhattodo was Take That in 2024 the This Life tour as that was absolutely terrible , really put me off seeing them again .

Pleased you had a great time. Live music can be incredible. One of the best concerts i have seen was Take That, Milan, 2011. So incredibly good that I took my DC to see them in Berlin in 2024. Dreadful. It was an awful, short concert, full of fillers. I 'joked' for a long time afterwards about #takethatlite. I've seen other UK bands abroad, and never felt so short changed. That was our family holiday that year. Decent budget.

Same here. Abandoned my basket at M &S as they said the queue was an hour!!

I live in London with my kids. A lot of my friends moved out for bigger houses really. I don’t have a tiny house but pay just as much as they do for much less space. I stayed and often they ask why and to be honest because I couldn’t live anywhere else 🤣
my 11 year old has seen Taylor swift twice, 2 Hyde park bst last year ( Sabrina Carpenter, Noah kahan / Gracie Abraham ) conan grey, laufey, stray kids, black pink, twice and Billie eilish. She has coming up Bruno mars, Hyde park ( kesha and pitbull ) Katseye, Olivia Rodrigo. She has seen lion king, beauty and the beast, Paddington bear, six, Hamilton, Matilda, wicked, mean Girls at the west end. Last week we went to west end live. She also like the Japan festival every year.
then there is all the free stuff to do and see, the food , easy links to most theme parks and anywhere really.
she would never have done all the above if I had to always add transport and accommodation on top.
we love an 02 concert as we leave and head straight to an uber boat most part home then a short bus from there.
some beautiful parks, museums, galleries there is always something to do and see. If she wanted to stay near by for uni then she has plenty of choices with good transport links even if outside of London.

I was at Crystal Palace today watching The Offspring - was fantastic - I hope Crystal Palace get lots of bands in future!

Right?!

I just had to Up ‘The London Stadium’ as didn’t know where it was. Didn’t realise it was the Olympic stadium and didn’t realise they did big gigs there. Wonder if it’s trying to rival Wembley as ‘the’ place to perform.

Every time I go to a gig/show/exhibition etc with DSis, which is often, we comment that we’re supposed to think that London has gone down the shitter. But it’s always full of people enjoying themselves, having a good time, spending money. I love living here and taking advantage of every opportunity to go out and do things. I have to keep a list on my phone to make sure I don’t forget I’ve got tickets for so many things. I’ve already got three things booked for next year

And also night 3 of Empire of the Sun at Alexandra Palace last night! Absolutely brilliant!

My dd paid £35 to see Take That and £45 to see Lily Allen. She’s had a great week.

I saw TT but in Glasgow. The general public completely ruined it for me.
I got stood on by drunk men taking photos, some drunk woman collapsed on me making me fall, I got spewed on, some fucker was wearing a back pack and any time he swayed the bag would knock into me.
I'm used to Glasgow for a concert but this was something else. Its really put me off concerts
