On the back of @leeclarke0508 trip to see Westlife. What’s the best gig you have ever attended? I’ll kick it off with seeing David Byrne earlier this year - a real bucket list experience 🛋️

Ahhhh there have been some good ones. Green Day and The Smashing Pumpkins in Philadelphia 2023 was a worldie and John Mayer in Dublin 2024. I also went to The 1975’s famous 2022 gig at MSG that was recorded. A few crackers

One that stands out for me is seeing Macklemore at Deaf Institute in Manchester. It was just before he released Thrift Shop, so it was a tiny venue. I don’t think anyone there expected he’d explode just after, but he was brilliant. He did a signing afterwards and randomly all I had was a dollar in my pocket, so he signed that

Not my story, but my brother remarkably got tickets to a last minute secret last minute Prince concert in 2014. Love the idea of just getting last minute tickets in a small venue for a superstar.

I really enjoyed watching Coldplay live. Incredible production and it’s an experience like no other. As someone who’s listened to them for over 20 years, it was magical

Very jealous of you seeing David Byrne live. That must have been incredible. Oasis last summer at Croke Park tops the list for me, but I’ve also been blown away by Johnny Marr and the Arctic Monkeys live. It was my second time seeing Oasis but the comeback tour was so special.

Alfie Boe and Michael Ball ‘Sorry, not sorry’ 😂

If it counts, my Nan saw the Beatles at Middlesbrough Town Hall once 😂

Best thing I ever did was bite the bullet on tickets to see Arctic Monkeys the day before their 2023 show at Old Trafford Sam Fender at St James and Springsteen at Anfield last year come close though

Michael Jackson in his prime - I saw him twice at Wembley Stadium in 88 for the Bad Tour. The only gig I went to over the years that came anywhere near this was Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour (in Cardiff) 35 years later.

Zach Bryan. He’s incredible live, planning to go again!

Went to see Alter Bridge when they came to Manchester earlier this year. What a night ⚡️🎸

I’ll keep the westlife love going… first ever gig, didn’t disappoint! Legends 🎶

Mines is probably my first ever gig which was stone roses in 2016. Was surreal seeing them. Close contenders include Kneecap in Brixton and Turnstile at Ally Pally

As a north easterner, Maximo Park in Leeds were amazing. Also Madness in Newcastle, even if Suggs did stop the gig to tell us every time Man United conceded a goal 😂

Springsteen at Wembley, I don’t know how he does it at his age but an absolutely incredible spectacle

jonathan.gorrie1w ago

Stones at London Stadium or Oasis at Murrayfield. Not a Green Day fan but they did a surprise gig at a smaller tent at Reading one year I was there and it was brilliant

Pink. She never misses. Seen her twice and both times were out of this world
