I've not been to a gig in the last few years and I'm quite glad of it, from what I have seen from YouTube every cunt with a phone seems to want to record the proceedings rather than mosh/stage dive as we used to... fuck mobile phones

I just find it kind of amusing when I see this. Fortunately most of the stuff I go to see live these days is attended largely by older punks so don't see it that often.

Stopped going to festivals now, they all seem so bloody expensive and most of the time I'm only interested in one or two bands. Might go to Rebellion fest in Blackpool though. http://www.rebellionfestivals.com/

It's kinda odd cause you stay in a bed and breakfast and just go to the venue for the music. Being able to have a shower and a proper fried breakfast every day is good though and Blackpool B&Bs are dead cheap even in the summer. Also you can just go have a beer at a normal pub nearby instead of getting fleeced by the various pikey vultures that seem to descend on every other festival.

Anyone else going to http://www.roadburn.com/roadburn-2012/?
Loads of cool stuff, especially looking forward to seeing OM and sleep.

Anyone going to hospitality at The Brixton 02 Academy this April? I'm going with a few friends so we could all join-together if anyone's interested.

Download day ticket to see NOFX and the prodigy.
I had a weekend ticket for sonisphere last year but the lineup this year, hmm, not so much.

I had a weekend ticket for sonisphere last year but the lineup this year, hmm, not so much.

It seems many people have thought this way - sonisphere cancelled, probably dead for good. I'm not susprised, considering the lineup.

Went to see Orbital a couple of days ago in the Roal Albert Hall. Was bangin'!

It was good to see nearly everyone at a gig up and dancing (apart from the lady in the wheelchair .. although she was throwing shapes like a pro) in such a quality venue.

Baww Aeon has been cancelled.


I want to go to Dimensions. This is what I call a lineup. Fucking hell.

[Stoffl]

LOL basically, but it's pretty cheap and I'll take any excuse I can get to get blitzed li ke a nuclear wasteman in front of a stage for a whole weekend(It's at a NUKULAR powerplant which is pretty cool).

Went to download yesterday.

Bad:
2 hour delay opening the venue
Worlds supply of mud and rain
Band slot overlaps
Bronies shitting up the big screens with pony messages

Good:
Chase and Status
The Prodigy
NOFX
Skindred acoustic set
Slash and some dood
Generally good PA quality.
Watching people falling in mud
Blagging parking in marshal area and leaving venue at front of queue

All in all 8/10.
