Re: Gigs/Concerts
Just bought my ticket for Friday night of the Philgood Festival here at the rowing canal in Plovdiv on July 17th
The Cure, Wolf Alice, The Subways and Just Mustard = 105 Euros
I first saw The Cure touring for Faith in 1981 at Newcastle City Hall and think it was only a fiver for a ticket.
Can't wait

Even though I like metal, especially A7X, Metallica aren't really my cuppa.

Re: Gigs/Concerts
Ges tells me I absolutely have to go see All Them Witches
Problem is the closest they got is Chalk and it's not the best place for someone with my issues. I could have stood at the back and watched it on the big screen
I'd imagine they're on stage this minute

Re: Gigs/Concerts
Blueneck I will absolutely go see, not sure it's logistically possible for them to tour anymore though. Duncan Atwood had a stroke a while back and his voice gives out every now and again. And Blueneck is all about those vocals

Re: Gigs/Concerts
Yep, will wander down soon.
Tbh, not overly bothered with The Joy Formidable or The Twilight Sad…..and given it’s absolutely boiling (not sure how RS’s make-up will cope
I think I mentioned in the earlier post it was a Cure or Metallica (on Sunday in the Principality Stadium) choice….but, I have also now got a Metallica ticket as well

He's gonna look like Chrissie Hynde
She usually has rivers of Mascara running down her face, like some Gothic stigmata
It's gonna be up to 34c here next week, so I'm hoping it doesn't get up to 40c or above that by July 17th, cos that's too much for me, but not unusual for here in summer
Metallica should be great too, just a group I never really got into.
Marilyn Manson is here a week after The Cure, but we're spending every cent getting our new apartment finished, so can't justify me being back on the gig wagon.
But the way groups are playing here now I'll defo be doing lots of gigs here in the future.
