Wow, that sounds like the bargain of the weekend, I would have loved that! Yes, it was very cheap as organised as part of the yearly Bradford Literature Festival - I think the tickets for most events must be subsidized, as hardly anything is more than £7. Despite the name 'Literature Festival', there are always loads of music and film events too, often in less-used spaces around the city centre. If DJ sets are your thing, and you are ever up in Leeds, look up Headrow House on the Headrow. They have a rooftop bar called Kennedy Meadow and in the past they have often had really good young women DJs doing sets up there on a Saturday afternoon (free), and bigger events in the evening (ticketed). It's a great chill spot in summer sunshine on a Saturday afternoon, only to be avoided when Leeds are playing at home . Thanks for the tip, sounds right up my street.

Took the wife to see Ed Sheeran at FedEx Fields in DC on Saturday. I know that a lot of people don’t like him but there’s not many around today that could sell out a 60k+ arena while playing the vast majority of songs on a loop recorder that he sets up at the beginning of each track. That he writes his own music as well (another novelty in this day and age) is quite cool too.
Sounds like he had a pretty torrid year or two and still has the energy to give a good performance. Not really my cup of tea but the loop recorder was cool.

Anyone going the Rock Orchestra tonight at Trentham Gardens? Advertised yesterday, that there were 50 tickets left. I brought mine a few months back after missing out on the tour last year.
Then Saturday I’m off to the station in Cannock to see Rammiled, which is supposed to a brilliant Rammstein tribute act. Then plenty more gigs next week.
Kiss with Skindred in Manchester & Thunder Hammer at Trentham Gardens 😎🤘🏻

Not a massive fan personally but might go as its nearby and one to tick off the list.

Plus if they are that price then fair play, I got 20% off mine but have seen 2-1 deals. I’m standing as I know the sound quality is crap high up in the AO Arena.

Face value on the tickets I was after are being resold at 230 quid now so two would be 460 if I could get them before some one else all this scalping is a ball ache

No I’ve brought the hotel package through the cricket club. Tickets I was looking at originally are now £442 each on here www.viagogo.co.uk/Concert-Tickets/Hard-Rock-Metal/Foo-Fighters-Tickets/E-151972006I’ve paid less than the cost of two of those tickets for two tickets and staying in the hotel in the ground. Which gives me access before the gates open

Ah, get you now. Great stuff. Glad you didn't succumb to viagogo the robbing twats. It’s a nightmare trying get anything limited without resellers spoiling it. I had tickets for last year watch them but it was obviously cancelled due to Taylor Hawkins death, I got them for £139 each before it rocketed up to nearly £200 for floor tickets. By chance I was looking to watch the Chili peppers as a substitute the same week same place and just clicked on the cricket club’s hospitality on a whim as I’d got no chance of booking a hotel for anything less than £200 as they had all gone. Found a deal for the tickets and the hotel in the ground for £500 which was only £140 more than the tickets so signed up as member and away we went. As a member I was able pre register for the same package and I got offered the same deal so I’ve taken that option again. I know I’m paying a premium but I’m getting older and I’m loathe to share a portable toilet with 50000 pissed up concert goers and then fight my way sober back to a tram then to my car or to another train that’s probably not running. I can now have a few beers a comfortable shit and shower before I go bed and then have nice breakfast in the morning

Not ideal as crazy busy at work currently but gigs are gigs so this week it's Maiden at Nottingham Birmingham and London. Have avoided most spoilers on setlist and staging so very much looking forward to Notts tomorrow and meeting a mate I see infrequently so fingers crossed for some cracking shows.
