It looks like a right ball ache to get to from the city centre. Won’t the Etihad tram stop be near? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Bradford so I normally get the train to Victoria. I take it there's a tram from there then? On the venue information on Ticketmaster, it says it's a 30 minute walk from the city centre.

Not sure if there’s a direct tram from Victoria or not but it would be a change at Piccadilly Gardens  if not. I bet the MEN or whatever it’s called now was ideal if you’re getting the train in!

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2023 Yeah, you'd get the tram to the Etihad Campus or Velopark, but from Victoria you'd want to change trams at Piccadilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Keith. I'll have a look. Yeah the arena is absolutely ideal. You don't even have to leave the building! The train to Manchester is just under an hour from my nearest station. If I went to Leeds Arena from the same station, the train is just under 40 minutes, plus at least a 10 minute walk from the station, so it's not actually that much longer to get to a gig at Manchester Arena! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Just got Mitski tickets for me and the eldest. £100 for 2x standing! I mean it's a present and all, but fucking hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 18, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2023 London jazz festival coming up in a few weeks. Haven't had a current to properly go through all the listing will definitely be getting to a few shows and taking the kids to some of the free shows at the weekend. They're always really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 18, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 18, 2023 I saw Mulatu a few years back in London. Was brilliant! So pleased I got the opportunity to do so whilst he is still active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted October 18, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Seeing Finnish metal band Lost Society in Wolves tomorrow. Not sure what to expect but it's a chance to scope out new gig venues, see something a little different to my usual sound and get out of Hereford for an evening. Spotify listening makes me think I'll enjoy it, plus a free ticket as my mate didn't want to go by herself can't be argued with. Â Edit: A mixture of alcohol withdrawal fatigue, Storm Babet and doing 15 hours at work yesterday and needing to be in early tomorrow has put a stop to this. Next gig is supposed to be next month with Wonder Years if I feel any better then as I've felt horrid the last 3 weeks.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 3, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2023 My mate has managed to get us on the guest list to see Focus in Blackpool in about 3 weeks, which will be very exciting. I'm at Lancashire Hotpots with my Mum a week on Saturday, Soulwax in February in Manchester, and another friend has gotten me a ticket to see Goldie Lookin Chain on their 420 tour in Preston in September 2024. I'm betting my mum's going to get tickets for the Summer Hotpots tour as well. I'll keep going to them with her for as long as I can.

I do wonder whether they'll try and encourage Maggot to join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
