Just got tickets to see Wire during their brief East Coast & Midwest tour in July.

Pinkflag.com - the official Wire website - Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, Robert Grey

I waited through the long cold winter for the summer concert season. Now the schedules are out and there is basically no one I am really interested in coming to the area.

I noticed that London, Ontario seems to get a lot of shows. London is not that big of a city. Am I missing something, or do they just have active promoters.

A far cry from my return to Bloodstock in August after a 2 year absence (I Hope) with this line up thus far:
Band Line Up - 2013 - Bloodstock Heavy metal festival band line and metal band Biographies.

Also lined up is Fat Freddy's Drop in October at a weekend date in London which means an epic weekend should be in order, Damnation Fest in November (Carcass and Crippled Black Phoenix for starters) and Black Sabbath in December means that the year should end on a good note (Oh and Killing Joke/ The Mission and Fields of the Nephilim four days earlier in the same week as Sabbath).

What festival was that Jackhammer?

Slayers headline spot at Bloodstock must surely be vacant now? Are they still playing? And have you heard Grifter before? They are worth a watch.

I dont have a Damnation ticket yet but I'm hoping to probably catch you again there this year. I love CBP and obviously seeing Carcass is an opportunity I don't wanna miss!

Slayers spot is still on as Gary Holt (Exodus) filled in for Hanneman the last time I saw them and I don't see that changing and Slayer already have a drummer in place anyhow but it's not quite the same :(

As for Grifter I caught them a couple of years back at an after party gig after seeing Nebula down in Camden (which itself was a lucky gig to see as we sat in the Camden Underworld drinking on the Friday getting ready for Lamb Of God on the Saturday when we we got tickets for Nebula that day of the gig). Grifter were quite decent.

Obviously Carcass are a different entity to when I saw them way back when but CBP will be well worth it. This time we will be on time and we will sink a few beers if you are there :)

Ah ok, had Hanneman not been touring with them before he died? I knew he was ill but didn't know that if thats the case. It's been a few years since I last saw them now, when he was healthy.

I'm hoping to go to and see Bonobo tonight at the stunningly beautiful Sage, Gateshead and I'm also hoping to get a day ticket sorted to the Saturday of Download Festival to see Iron Maiden, Queens of the Stone Age, Motorhead, Mastodon & Black Moth!

Zac Brown Band is comin to town in october! cant wait!

Rihanna show in September
Madonna show in December
both in Manila

I'm going to two festivals this summer. First one: North Sea Jazz.
Second one is called Zwarte Cross. Bands I plan to see on Zwarte Cross are: Shantel, Will and the People, Dragonforce, Kees van Hondt, de Speeldoos and Bloodhound Gang :cool:

GF got me tix to see Kidd Rock on my birthday in Aug. I'm not a huge fan, but I've never seen his act, and I hear it's quite good, so off we go... in August that is.

yay.

I'll be going to Athfest in a couple of weeks (music festival in Athens, Georgia) and i'll be seeing The Whigs and Cracker
