Upcoming Concerts

Hi there

Apologies first of all if a thread such as this already exits, but with no search function. . . . . . . . .

Just wondering if anyone had any upcoming concerts they're looking forward to attending?

I'll start the ball rolling myself as we're off to see Marilyn Manson in Glasgow on Dec 8th - he's even got special guest Turbonegro <<-- never heard of em

This monday (Aug 27th) and go and see the greatest live band in the world - STATUS QUO.

You may scoff but these guys are so pro it hurts.
Granted, they've wrote crap since 1975 and lost it when the dire Rockin All Over the World was released but live they are still awesome.

You'd get on well my my best mate irl - he's a huge Que fan and has been trying to drag me to one of their concerts for nearly ten years now (so far i've managed to avoid it

)

Get yourself along.
Every rock fan deserves the experience of The Mighty Quo at least once and I'll wager your head won't stop.
Always remember to go to the bog when they start playing the terrible Rockin All Over the World.

Off to see the wonderful Devildriver in October.

I would but I've grown out of my denim jacket

Perhaps one day :rolleyes:

Now Mark Knopfler would be great to see. Anymore details bud ?

Just what I was gonna ask

Dave said:
New album out soon, a tour of capital cities has been confirmed. This is one man I have to see before he retires - he still plays as well as in his earlier days judging from videos, just without the sweatband

It says "dates announced soon" on his site.

Now that would be one concert I'd love to go to, Brothers in Arms would be fantastic to hear live :cool:

Yay! Booked Nightwish for April next year at Manchester University!

Dam, no scottish concerts. Their website says they're playing Newcastle 30/03/2008.

Might be making the trip to England to see them :cool:

Ah bloody hell. You seem to have brilliant taste in music; I saw Circa at the Camden Barfly on Monday night! I managed to get a picture with Anthony Green; what an amazing voice he has. Glad to see a fan of them on the board.

Sorry, I haven't checked this thread in a while, but to all those who inquired about a Mark Knopfler gig, it's in May and it's his "Kill To Get Crimson" tour.

Thanks for the update Zebede - I've now ordered tickets to see Mr Knopfler at the Edinburgh Playhouse in May 08' :cool:

Should be a really good night

Well I survived the concert in Glasgow

The support band were pretty good and really got the fans going well - the show itself was really good, though we did have to wait ages before he came on stage and launched into Disposable Teens which really got the crowd going. All in all it was a good night, drink free as well - call me mean but i refuse to spend £3.00 on a pint of Carling :eek:

Next on the list to see is Mark Knopfler - should be awesome :cool:

Def Leppard 2008 tour supported by Whitesnake

Looks like either Manchester or Sheffield for me. Might even go to both

Think I'll be going to the Glasgow SECC concert :cool:

DAvE18 said:
omg I need tickets to Def Leppard I love whitesnake

I've checked and the tickets for the SECC aren't on sale until 19th Jan at 0900 - I'll see ya at work before then and we can organise transport if you want?

Sonea Fifer · 26 Jan 2008 at 13:08

So my tickets for Knopfler arrived yesterday and i've bought tickets to see Def Leppard today with Whitesnake as support.

It's shaping up to be a good year so far concert wise :cool:

Sonea Fifer · 31 Jan 2008 at 17:09

Def Leppard tickets arrived today :cool:

- I've also booked tickets for Hampden to see Neil Diamond (awaits possible flaming)

Seen him two years ago in Newcastle and it was a fantastic concert - really looking forward to this one

Sonea Fifer · 6 Mar 2008 at 23:32

This really is shaping up to be a good year concert wise for me - just purchased tickets for Runrig at Edinburgh Castle on the 26th July :cool:

This is a band i've wanted to see for years - now all I need is for Iron Maiden to play in Scotland this year

Thread Revival..

Off to See Bryan Adams at SECC in October

Cheers for the revival Dave, I saw Mr Adams at Murrayfield last year and he played a good concert there

Me and Sonea Fifer just back from mark knopfler was freakin awesome

Yeah it was a brilliant night - he played quite a few of his new tracks along with quite a few oldies as well.

Telegraph Road, Romeo & Juliet and Brothers in Arms were all fantastic to see live. Here a pic taken just after Going Home from Local Hero:

Neil Diamond then Def Leppard next though :cool:

Sonea Fifer · 6 Jun 2008 at 12:51

Made it out of Glasgow back to Fife - Got soaked through - got ripped off (at the pub) - got lost (twice) - but not even the thunder and lightning and torrential rain was enough to dampen the spirits at the Neil Diamond concert at Hampden last night

Roll on the 17th when its Def Leppard / Whitesnake time :cool:

Also, after many years of ripping my mate i've finally relented and said I'll go see Status Que with him in December - what have i let myself in for?

Anyone going to see bryan adams at secc tomorrow ?

Would have gone but I'm having to work

Sonea Fifer · 30 Jun 2009 at 11:24

Holy thread revival Batman

Booked tickets to see The Red Hot Chilli Pipers at my local venue in Dec

Sonea Fifer · 5 Nov 2009 at 23:27

Another thread revival

Booked tickets today to go and see Marilyn Manson on Dec 15 at the O2 Academy in Glasgow

He's supported by Esoterica (never heard of them) though last time I saw Mr Manson at the SECC two years ago it was a really good concert

I'm also trying to book tickets for Mark Knopfler next May at the SECC - should be another good night
