What Gigs are peeps looking forward to in Sheffield area?
Last one I went to was Levellers on 11th Dec (which was fantastic!)

I am looking forward to Damien Rice at the Octagon Centre in Feb 2004, thats the only one I have tickets for in 2004.

I am also looking forward to a gig in his home town by Richard Hawley - nothing confirmed yet.

I may also go and see Chicken Legs Weaver as I have heard good reports, and the usual gigs in the area by Boo Hewerdine:thumbsup:

Live music is the best entertainment going IMHO

((Not quite Sheffield)) I'm looking fwd to David Lee Roth in Manchester in Feb and Duran Duran in Brum and Mancs in April... woo hoo long live the 80s!!:)

errrm.... im going to Chimaira and probably Spunge (not my thing but every1 is goin) both at corporation i think. last ones i went to were manson and iron maiden i think :D

Shania Twain at the Arena in February! Can't wait! :wink:

No longer seeing David Lee Roth...flights booked to New York :P
I'm seeing half of Def Leppard next month...ooohhh...and Duran Duran occupy 3 nights in April pour moi!! :thumbsup:

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's but in Manchester - yet another band with no Sheffield date grrr!

I saw [Spunge] last night, and Hope I can see their support NHOI seperatly sometime, Even though there were some boo's from the crowd. I am annoyed when people boo a band off stage becuase they are the supports. would they rather it be a shorter gig?

I will probably see Less than jake in manchester, and will definatly see AFI the next time they tour.

Em x

gota get tickets for that, hope theres sum left. never been to city hall, is it standing or seating? i prefer to stand. if i can get a ticket do u fancy meeting up on the nite?

It's all seated I reckon as I've got front row tickets, (Joe and Sav in all their glory....mmmmm) would be great to meet up- send me a PM and we could arrange something. :thumbsup:

I'm really looking forward to Zero Cipher / Laruso / VERT at Corporation next Monday!

eRRR. when?

Motley Crue in Manchester & Birmingham in June!

Well, In sheffield the the gigs for Ben Folds and REM should be very cool and I'm looking forward to both (espec Ben Folds). Outside of sheffield, Eels play manchester in a few weeks and I got some overpriced tickets off ebay for them (i'm a big fan, hence the stupidly priced front fow tickets off ebay). Also the polyphonic spree in manchester and u2 at twickenham are expecting me.

And as anybody who meet me at the Cat yesterday will know (the shirt was a giveaway) I'm a big 'They Might be Giants' fan and have got tickets for them playing at KoKo in Londimium end of summer.

If anybody else is going to any of the above gigs, give me a wave (i'll be the one looking like me):clap:

I'm looking forward to the Queen and Paul Rogers concert on the 9th May, once in a lifetime concert, for me anyway. lol.

Futureheads Friday 13th May at the Leadmill - can't wait!

The La's at the Leadmill in June. Should be great if the reports about the stack of songs Lee Mavers has written during his long sabbatical are true.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,,1099642,00.html

Yeah, the La's for me too. But I'm also nervous because it can't possibly live up to expectations.

Also Interpol should be a bit special. Then oasis at MCFC.

Went to see a couple of bands at Boardwalk last Saturday. NineMoreLies and Stony. Both really good.

Possibly going to see NineMoreLies again at the Grapes fairly soon, and also maybe Teenage Fanclub at Leadmill on Saturday 21st May (assuming its not sold out yet).

Well I'm looking forward to Mono and 65daysofstatic at the Corporation on the 20th. And then a month after I'll be getting sun burnt at the completely sunny all weekend - no rain what-so-ever - Glastonbury!! Not that I'm looking forward to many of the bands.

The Futureheads this friday, from my hometown, i seen them on sunday at the radio 1 big weekend, perfect per usual.

I went to see Idlewild and Sons and Daughters a while ago, was really good.
Might go see the Magic Numbers, or The Futureheads, or I dunno, I'm being indecisive as usual. Once I've made up my mind, all the gigs will be sold out I am sure.

9 More Lies are good, we had them at the Earl a few weeks ago.
If you want to keep up with local bands and when they are playing check out www.soundaloud.com and the forum of www.l2sb.co.uk they are both Sheffield Music websites
One gig I'm looking forward to is Devonshire Jam, the line up got announced earlier this week and your going to have to go a long way to find a better line up. The bands playing are.
Baby Pink Star,
Anthony's Big Acheivment,
Silverwheel,
Ormondroyd,
Champion Kickboxer,
The Agents,
Do$Ch,
Dangerlust,
Ecanasia,
Bhuna,
Two Hats,
A Is For Ape,
Chuck,
Bison,
Mothership,
Pretty Young Things,
Daybreak.

A Is For Ape,



Interesting, I’ve been meaning to track these guys down for a while, ever since i missed them supporting Capdown.

I’m all excited about Peace In The Park myself

A is for Ape are recording at the moment, I'm hoping to have them on at the earl in july and at Earl Jam.
Whats the line up for peace in the park?

HAWKWIND!!!

Hasnt really paid much attention to them for years - but got a 3CD best of at Xmas & just read their biography (550 pages & 35 years of cosmicness & squabbling) - so seems fitting to go & see Dave Brock, & whoever he's got tagging along, at Corp on the 21st May.

U2 in dublin in June. Been a fave band for many years so can;t wait to see them in their homeland.

Also... Supergrass & The music at the leadmill (different nights!)

M People at the arena in October
Blondie at the city hall in December

Bit of a mixed bunch, but that's me!

Saw them Support Coral down leadmill.Also heard them on Rad one ,hope they love up to the hype and give sheffield a well known new band!(other than Pink Greece and maybe the long blondes who could make it)

Looking forward to Ben Calvert at the Green Room on Wednesday. A singer-songwriter of tremendous warmth and charm. Sort of like Nick Drake with smiling.

KT Tunstall with support form Stephen Fretwell - this Friday at the Leadmill

Supergrass @ The Leadmill 16 May 2005. Fantastic show, it was great fun as you can tell the crowd were up for it :D

Teenage fanclub at the Leadmill, 21st May.

Terrorvision at The Boardwalk 12 August. Supposed to be their last gig ever

I for one am looking forward to the mighty Bison at Devonshire Jam on the 4th of June.

I am gutted to miss their gig in London this weekend - as plugged last night on Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2 but the rest of their gigs this summer are well worth heading to.

I'm *really* looking forward to glastonbury this year cos it took me 6 weeks and alot of perseverence to get a ticket after missing out when they first went on sale.

It'll be my 8th glasto and I can't wait! Hope its a sunny one!

Interpol in a few weeks at Octagon. Quality band.

I remember seeing them at leeds fest a few years ago. It was beautiful. The sun was setting behind them, the crowd was really chilled and positie and loving the FLC.

Wow that sounds amazing..we went to see them at the octagon (would have been much better at a festival, I'm really jealous) it was incredible - I wasn't even looking forward to it that much and it turned out to be one of the best nights of my life. They have a brilliant live vibe, really chilled and sexy.

I will go and see them whenever I can now :)

Stereophonics at the Arena in September. Get cold turkey if I don't see them at least once a year.
Fancied the La's at the Leadmill as well. Will have to go and investigate the Ledders site. And it's only a matter of time until Stone Roses get back together.

I have tickets to see The La's at the Leadmill :) should be a top night.

I can just picture it now the crowd will go mental when the intro to There She Goes kicks in :D

Richard Hawley - Sheffield Arena 15th June! Sheffield's finest!!!! ;)

supported by rem!

I am waiting to go to the ozzfest at the NEC and see the greatest rock man in the world ozzy osbourne then hopefully to see my all time best groups iron maiden, deep puprle, ac/dc, motorhead, metallica, slayer, and any other rock group who comes along apart from def leppard as I dont like them, I am hopefully going to see saxon next year but wont know until september if they have reformed again.

The walkley festival if Anna is going to be playing, I think the band she is in is called Silverwheel, but I was impressed with her musical talents at the Devonshire Green festival

27th june at the boardwalk!
Its gonna be great:hihi:

Same here, seen them at the Octagon twice and once at the City Hall. City Hall wasn't as good an atmosphere because of all the people sitting down but they did this cool Star Wars/Godfather/Scarface sketch :)

I'll keep my eyes out if they're touring again :D

Im looking forward to 3 upcoming gigs.........

The Long Blondes at the fuzz club next thursday
