Going to see The Killers in September.
Wanted to see them at Madison Square Garden, but floor tickets are going for $700 :nervous:.

Have tickets for Franz Ferdinand (in a few months) and a couple of other smaller acts, including Futurebirds tomorrow night. Hoping the Arctic Monkeys announce their likely US dates soon.

:eek: Ouch!

I'm going to see them in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena. When we got our tickets I think they were only like $100 a pop. I told my wife though that we basically had to go see this one. They've been my favorite band since they dropped Hot Fuss when I was in high school and it'll be the first chance I've had to see them live.


Edit: If you're able to make the trip to Philly, you can get good seats for right at $100 per ticket.

Yeah, thanks for the tip. I really wanted the Sept 30th date in NYC though, it's my birthday. I see now that the floor tickets are down to $430, but that's still too much to snag 2 of them. I'll hope they come down a bit more... but I feel like The Killers is the sort of band I really want to watch from the floor.

Floor seats for them would be an amazing birthday gift. I hope you're able to find some!

Saw them Tuesday and really enjoyed them. First for me and it was emotional as I’ve listened to them since I was a kid in the 80’s
That’s kind of my expectation, it’s at the new Spurs stadium too, which I’ve not seen yet.. How’s Axl’s singing? Not that it was ever amazing.

The chillis seem to get mixed reviews all the time. I saw them in Dublin a few years ago and it just never got going and crowd was not into it

But then on Wednesday night they were in great form and played a cracking set (albeit no Under the Bridge)

I went to Liam Gallagher at Knebworth a few weeks back which was a great gig. I have Kasabian in Birmingham in November and going to Electric Picnic in August/September for Tame Impala and Arctic Monkeys, also keen to see Little Sims there too.

I heard the sound was awful. Apparently people were leaving ten songs in.

Sounded good to me and saw no one leave at all. Everyone near me was well into the show

Anyone living in London needs to grab an LCD Soundsystem ticket right now. 2 nights left at Brixton Academy.

They were flawless last night. One of the best gigs of my life.

Saw Weezer, Fall Out Boy and Green Day just last Monday and it was great, Fall Out Boy aside as theyre not my thing. The venue in Dublin was an absolute nightmare to get to/from I must say though. Few week before that I went to see My Chemical Romance. Remaining this year I have Flogging Molly, and then the one I've been waiting years for, Rage Against the Machine with support from Run The Jewels too.

Considered going to Tyler, The Creator today but ultimately decided against for various reasons. The main one being it's in that same venue as the Hella Mega Tour was.

I'm going to both the London and Manchester gigs :lol: . They're my favourite band so I thought might as well see em twice.
Your feelings on who may be on vocals? Or do you reckon Andrew will fill in? Heard Kurt Travis was joining on the newly announced US dates!

Green day were something else. Was just hit after hit so very crowd pleasing

Heard loads of horror stories about getting in and out of venue. We were lucky as we stayed in a hotel in leopardstown. There was a shuttle bus every 30 mins all afternoon and then after the show we got out and back in hotel within 25 mins on Monday and Tuesday night. For Wednesday we drove home after the chillis so parked in Marley. Getting out after took a good while though

Absolutely I kind of forgot about how many hits Green Day had as they kept pulling them out.

I was staying in a hotel in Ballsbridge. Was a nightmare trying to get back as I guess we hadn't looked into the bus situation. Was just relying on a taxi which was a massive mistake. Basically got back to the hotel at 1am after it finished at 11pm. Ending up finally flagging down a taxi and sharing with another couple.

Getting in was worse. Ended up having to walk 20 mins from the gate to join the then back of the queue. We got there at 5pm and the gates were closed despite having opened at 4. There was worse than us though, the queue just kept on going afterwards.

Since lockdown ended I've been hammering them and going to Weezer, Fall Out Boy and Greenday last night was incredible, possibly the best gig I've been to, certainly Greenday are the best live act.
I was at the Huddersfield one, all 3 were amazing and Green Day were the best band I have ever seen live.
