I got tickets for Garth Brooks in Dublin next September.  Then again, I had tickets for Garth Brooks in Dublin in 2014 and we know how that ended (with a refund and me stuck with non-refundable flights).

Fingers crossed it goes ahead this time, I can't be doing with listening to everyone in the country going through GarthGate Part II!

Speaking of Dublin, bagged myself and my brother a pair of tickets for The Eagles in June. It would have been much nicer if I'd have caught them when Glenn Frey was still alive, but I'm very excited to be going to see them all the same. The brother doesn't know, he's getting his ticket for Christmas.

Just booked tickets to see Counting Crows at the O2 Academy in Sheffield in March and Gary Numan at the O2 Academy in Leeds in May.

Wanted to see Counting Crows for years but never had the opportunity so excited to see them live. 

Loved Gary Numans last two albums so looking forward to hearing them live along with the classics. 

My 2022 calendar is looking like this so far

Counting Crows - March.   Evanescence - April.                         Gary Numan - May.                 Aerosmith - July.                              Haim - July.

Tempted to get tickets to Eels but would mean travelling to Manchester and taking time off work.

Anyone seen The Australian Pink Floyd. Are they worth going to see? 

[Egg Shen]

Im not a fan of Pink Floyd and haven't seem them myself, but they are basically the biggest covers band in the world, id imagine they put on a pretty spectacular show.

Yes. I like Floyd (well, Dark Side Of The Moon and that video where they get the dog to sing at Pompeii) and I saw them with a die hard fan and we both had a great time.

Welcome To The Machine, Pal.

Saw Australian Pink Floyd the other week in Nottingham. They put on a really good show, their lighting was excellent for the budget they have.

 

No fucker bothered wearing a mask and there were about 2000 people there.

Supposed to be seeing Snuff in Brum tonight and London Saturday, was gonna take my parents to the Brum one as they've loved them ever since I started listening to them as a teen, and an old mate of mine's now the bassist. All cancelled now cos a couple of the support act have covid and they've all been travelling together. Must be an absolute nightmare being in a band at the moment and relying on touring for income. 

[Egg Shen]

yeah, seeing gigs cancelled all over the place on social media. 

I was meant to be in Brum last night myself to watch Life of Agony & Dog Eat Dog, hoping that gets rescheduled.

[King Coconut]

If Avril Lavigne reschedules again I'll be fucking fuming.

Had tickets for The Residents in January, that's been postponed to February 2023. It's already a 50th anniversary tour, it's showing some confidence that any of them will still be around for another year!

Faith No More Cancelled all gigs for 2022.

 

Had a ticket to see them in London now for years …:

[deathrey]

The current Faith No More cancellations are due to Mike Patton's on-going mental health problems rather than Covid.

[Merzbow]

Dvne and Bossk went ahead last night but the opener cancelled, not sure what the reason was.

There's a little black metal gig on Friday, I'd expect that to go on too.

Because none of the artists have left their basements in the last 2 years?
