For those of you who saw my last post, I've picked up a few tickets for some exciting, upcoming gigs.
Now.
I get around and I've seen my fair share of gigs, so much so that I keep a list of each one. This doesn't include local acts, just those that I've paid to be in the presence of.
Some of them have been brilliant and some have been down right terrible but you know what? I'd rather remember those ones more. The ones where I can see chance of improvement, decide what I want from a show and search until I find it.
Forgetting is no fun.
So, take a deep breath and take it all in, here comes the list (in no particular order):
| Turbowolf | Jack Penante | Goldheart Assembly |
| Postmodern Jukebox | Florence and The Machine | Local Natives |
| The Cribs | Jamie T | Los Campesinos |
| The Enemy | Bombay Bicycle Club | Billy Talent |

Some of these I've seen numerous times. I don't hide the fact that Ocean Colour Scene are one of my favourite bands and together with my Dad, have been to far too many shows and heard the same songs. In truth, I bloody love them.
So.
That's the list so far....
Let me know who you've seen from this list and who you're excited to see this year.
