In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Seeing English Teacher tonight, can't wait. Caught them a few times before at festivals but first time seeing them do a headline show. Debut album is one of the best of 2024.
Billy Joel Cardiff in August
I have the same as you in July, with Bloc Party the Friday of that weekend!
I wanted to go to bloc party but I’m running a half marathon in Clontarf early Saturday so I couldnt make it work
enjoy 3 shows in 3 days
Just seen the Stones last night. Took my 23 and 26 year olds to it and they were blown away by the energy Jagger still has.
I'm seeing them in Chicago in July. Don't mind them but going more for my friend. Paid stupid money for the tickets so I hope it's a good show
Ive seen every tour since 1980 82? Anyway this tour is ridiculous as in that good.I'm seeing them in Chicago in July. Don't mind them but going more for my friend. Paid stupid money for the tickets so I hope it's a good show
Went to the Tool gig in Birmingham on Thursday. Just utterly unbelievable. Completely lived up to expectations (and they were HIGH) and then some. The whole thing was just perfect. It's a seated gig, but everyone ends up standing anyway. Wife pulled a blinder and got us brilliant seats/places, so we got a superb view of the band and hit the sweet spot in terms of getting great sound, too. The music is something else. Danny Carey on the drums is just a monster. I'm convinced he's sold his soul for his drumming skills. He's just something else. The visuals and light show were both brilliant, too.
Only criticism I have is that it had to end. It's one of those gigs where I could have easily watched them play again straight afterwards. Pneuma live is earth-shatteringly good. In fact, I have to say that all the tracks off Fear Innoculum just hit so much harder live. They're great anyway, but even better live. Descending was brilliant, but Invincible is another level on top of that, imo.
Rosetta Stoned. Hnngnggg. And Jambi as the opener. Holy shit.
11/10 gig. I think that's the best gig I've been to. Wife had a brilliant time, too. Her only downside is that she was desperate for them to play Schism or Forty Six & 2, but ultimately you can't have it all. They could quite easily play another completely different setlist and it would be equally as great. Such a great band.
Will 100% be going to see them again.

Going to TTF the night in the hydro, Snap, JX, Corona, Wingfield, Ultrabeat, Love Inc and 2Unlimited supporting, basically a big 90s night, going to be dynamite
Massive Attack was on Wednesday. They were incredible. Elizabeth Fraser was with them and it was glorious. There was a portion with Young Fathers that was weakish, but the last 50 minutes was aces. Safe From Harm live is so feckin' good.
Tonight's the night for james in Cardiff. Looks like they will be playing their new album predominantly but there should be some good older stuff as well.
Just found out unfortunately that Pink is also playing the stadium so the trains will be carnage.

Taylor (and Paramore) on Saturday
Greenday on the Friday after and assuming tickets haven't been resold then Rammstein on the Sunday.
The two opposites of my music taste.

I went to see My Chemical Romance at the cricket ground the same night Ed Sheeran was in the stadium and it was absolute bedlam getting out of the city.
Was rammed but got home ok.
The actual concert was mind blowing. Absolutely off the scale. Tim Booth was pitch perfect all night as were the band.
There was one amazing gfx effect on the screens during Mobile God that I won't spoil just in case anyone sees it live.
The sound was perfect and they played Tomorrow which I was desperate to hear live. In my top 3 gigs this one.
Took my Girlfriend to watch Taylor Swift on Sunday in Edinburgh.
Not my usual cup of tea, but came out impressed and enjoyed myself a set of 3 hours and 30 minutes is some going.
Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer on Monday. Brilliant gig, both bands were really on form and played hit-filled setlists. On now to Limp Bizkit and Tom Morello today.
Cage the Elephant in a couple of weeks
Liam Gallagher in Dublin next week
The Killers in Manchester next week and Waxahatchee in July… with a plenty of acts at Glastonbury in between.
Quality live, enjoy!
Glad to hear smashing pumpkins were good. Seeing them in Croatia in a week or so.
They were brilliant, you'll have a great time.
I went to see them in London last week. Christ, it was so fecking good. Weezer were awesome, but I was really there for the Pumpkins, who didn't disappoint. The Everlasting Gaze as an intro is phenomenal. It was just amazing. One of those gigs I wish I could just immediately relive again straight after finishing.
Saw Tool the week before, so I'm on an insane run right now. Seen both of my favourite drummers in the same week period....hnnngggg.
I love the Pumpkins. Saw them at Glastonbury in 2013, but only Billy remained from the original lineup. It just hits so much harder with both James and Jimmy there. HUGE difference to when I last saw them. No comparison.
