Didn't there used to be a Gigs thread?

Anyway, just sorted tickets etc for Masta Ace + Live Band (!) at the Jazz Cafe nexrt month. Very excited about that! No late-night train to get home from Euston, sadly, means an overnight London stay, though. Resigning myself to being the oldest in the audience by some distance 😃, but I can live with that.

I've got The Strokes and The Wonder Stuff with Inspiral Carpets this week. 6 gigs in November: Fontaines DC, Yard Act, Bleachers, Teenage Fan Club, WH Lung and Goodbye Mr MacKenzie. The Strokes will be my 21st gig of the year.

@Geeseofbeverlyroad saw the wonderstuff last year in Birmingham. Would have loved to see them this year but can’t make it work. Hopefully next year 🤞

I saw them at Shepherds Bush on the same mini tour - such great fun! Had many bruises from moshing

Think I’m going to book the Jesus and Mary chain in January. I mean we weren’t supposed to be booking anything else…

Currently waiting for a burger before we head up to Korn 😁

Wonder Stuff and Inspirals on Friday.

Levellers next month. Can’t wait!

Just seen Korn. Absolutely brilliant. My feet and knees hurt now tho 🤣🤣 I have a knock off tee shirt and hoodie so I’m happy 😁

I love a good gig. Music helps me through the long winters!
This year I’ve seen the Manics, Garbage, Placebo, The Pixies, Lewis Capaldi, ASAP Rocky, the Levellers, Bon Jovi and the Cureheads (cure cover band) a couple of times.
I’ve got The Wedding Present on Friday. I was due to go to the Levellers again but that situationship has abruptly ended and I’m struggling to get a ticket so feeling a bit gutted. I’m also looking at Manics again with Suede and FatBoy Slim. Plus Morrissey in December. TJAMC in January.
I usually go alone, sometimes with my daughter or a friend. ASAP Rocky with my son. But will check out gig buddies as good to have friends

When I hooked up over Tinder with my partner a couple of years ago, definitely one of the things that attracted me to him was his love of live music. He's a 6 Music listener and has introduced me to so many new bands. Which I love because I was a bit stuck in my old music. And they're all getting scarily old bless them. So nice to see young fresh bands as well as the old favourites.

The Reytons tomorrow, Alex Spencer is support who is also excellent so looking forward to seeing him. Then it’s pretty much a gig a week til Christmas

6music is great. It’s because of that I’m going to see Get Down Services next month.

Desperately need to put a few more gigs in the calendar pronto though.

Burner tonight with support from Beyond Extinction 😊 currently hydrating with a pint before hitting the sea life centre 🤣🤣

AllTheGigs · 29/10/2026 14:08

Going to try for Fury In The Slaughterhouse Tickets tomorrow. Don't have that much hope tho

Another Sparks fan checking in! I've had the best time the last year or so seeing them in Glasgow, Edinburgh (I'm based in Scotland), Hong Kong, Tokyo (2 different venues, Duo Music Exchange was awesome!), then Live at Chelsea, Glasgow Kelvingrove Bandstand, London again with Gorillaz, then York, Rock en Seine festival and finally Antwerp. They simply amazing live. I've met some fabulous fellow fans along the way. I also love Franz Ferdinand and saw them also in Hong Kong, Dundee and at Rock en Seine (ever hopeful of a reunion of FFS!). Wish I had seen Steve Hackett again, my first ever gig in 1979! Have seen him since then, just not this year. I love going to gigs! Can't wait for Sparks to announce 2027 dates....

Steve Hackett was brilliant in Gateshead last week. Did Supper's Ready which was amazing as well as his own stuff and other older Genesis. DD got to meet Nad Sylvan afterwards which really made her night.

Burner Beyond Extinction and Broken Lung were brilliant tonight 🍻
