Last: McFly at Sandown Park after the racing, they were great.
Best: Queen in the 80s at Wembley Arena
Dream: Fleetwood Mac Rumours line up. Could have gone last time they were in the UK but didn't because of the ticket prices. Kicking myself now.

MferMonsterSearchingForRedemption · 07/09/2024 14:04

Last was Pink.

Best- U2 (many times), REM and Maneskin- U2 was the best though, as a longtime fan.

Dream- I would loved to have seen Pink Floyd.

BloodyWolves · 07/09/2024 14:13

Last - Holding Absence in Chepstow Castle. They really should put more gigs in castles… beautiful venue!

Best - Green Day in Wembley, I want to say it was 2009 but it could have been a year or so later. Frank Turner and Joan Jett supported. It was my first stadium gig and I’d never seen an atmosphere like it!

Dream - I honestly don’t know… I’ve seen so many bands that I wanted to see it’s hard to pick. Ghost would be pretty amazing of the top of my head…

Liv999 · 07/09/2024 14:27

Last - Coldplay last week
Best - tough one but probably Taylor Swift a few years ago
Dream - George Michael but that will never happen now 💔

RabbitsRock · 07/09/2024 14:32

Last - Take That
Best - U2
Dream - Would have loved to have seen Queen live

MissEsmeWatson · 07/09/2024 14:41

Last concert (if it counts) was Beyond the Barricade which I couldn't enjoy because it was outside and was freezing and pouring with rain 😢. Best was Status Quo some years ago, also outside but beautifully sunny and warm, lovely atmosphere 😀. Dream concert would be an Andre Rieu Christmas one ❤

BobbyBiscuits · 07/09/2024 14:45

I used to go to about 4 gigs a week as a teen.
Gawd, last 'concert' I went to was an opera in a pub theatre, a performance of Carmen where she was a pole dancer?! Lol. It was brilliant.

I really loved watching black Sabbath with the original lineup at Ozzfest. That was when I was 16. My gigging days are long gone sadly. I can't deal with crowds.

HRTQueen · 07/09/2024 14:48

Last: Rolling Stones (still great but better in the 90’s)
Best: Michael Jackson
Dream: Queen with Freddie or The Beatles

Yirk · 07/09/2024 14:52

Last:; Robert Plant
Best : pink Floyd pulse
Dream: Led Zep

chickenpieandchips · 07/09/2024 15:07

Last ~ Texas at the o2 on Thursday.
Best ~ Harry Styles, Killers, Take That, Pulp (1995 and 2023), Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd @ Live 8.
Dream ~ REM, Queen, Bowie.

And I did see Taylor Swift. Whilst it was an amazing 3.5 hour event, I felt it was more of a show than a gig. Waits to be told off by the Swifties....

libertineagain · 08/09/2024 06:40

Last: Ride last Friday

Best: hard one. I go to around 25 gigs a year and have been going for over 30 years. Stand outs are many - Oasis (in 94-97 Definitely Maybe, WTS - seen 8 times), Pulp, Gene, New Order, The Cure and Springsteen. My two best though are The National and LCD Soundsystem.

Dream: Joy Division at the Russell Club in 1979 (before I was born)

Next: Goldie lookin chain this Friday at my favourite venue - The Brudenell

flyinghen · 08/09/2024 12:14

Taylor Swift to all 🩷

AllTheGigs · 08/09/2024 14:36

I'm such an eejit. My last was New Model Army on 30th August

Havingtoomuchfun · 08/09/2024 14:45

Last was Taylor. It was a dream watching my 18 year old daughter there enjoy her first concert.

Best was probably Beautiful South/Texas/ Gabrielle @ Alexandra Palace in the 90s. I was with my best friends, including one who went on to become my (now ex) husband. It was my 21st, so I was full of youthful optimism about life and enjoying bands that became the soundtrack to our marriage.

Dream would be an intimate gig with Kylie, Jason D and 90s Madonna. Small crowd. Lots of audience interaction.

My friend is doing the warm up set for Paul Oakenfold on Friday @RJnomore1 I'm not going, as it's too far away. Should be a good night if you're a fan.

claracluck1978 · 08/09/2024 14:53

Last - Springsteen at Wembley back in July

Best - hard to call between Springsteen in 2012 or Robbie or Oasis at Knebworth.

Dream - I would have loved to have seen Fleetwood Mac or the Rolling Stones in their heydays. I'd also love to have seen Clarence Clemons with the EStreet Band. For a possible dream I'd take Bruce Springsteen at Knebworth or a return to his Broadway show.

HedgehogB · 08/09/2024 14:58

Last one: Far From Saints last year which is Kelly Jones’ side project. Best one : Stereophonics anniversary tour of Just Enough Education to Perform in ? 2022. I love all things Stereophonics except his recent solo stuff which is a bit slow for me
