Nickelback Platinum Pit tickets

Interesting what Nickelback are offering on their current tour, no champagne reception like Elton John did, but this is more what the rock fans would expect I think. The corporate rock fan with a few hundred quid in his pocket anyway, this is the kin...

Speaking of things gigographic

I kind of was earlier, mentioned my gigography, was I really never at a gig at this week in history? Doesn't sound very likely, I think something's gone wrong. The dinner is on, I have a good twenty minutes to investigate before Clare gets in from wo...

The Cure / NME Awards Big Gig tickets

Not Folkestone, not even that local, but a fairly easy journey from Folkestone to the O2 Arena, one we're making, I'd hate for you to miss out too. It's The Cure, and they're headlining the NME poll winners party type thing. Officially sold out, but ...

Coldplay with Girls Aloud???

Is this a joke? Coldplay are playing Wembley with Girls Aloud! This is a far cry from their days at the Barfly, and doesn't really make much sense to me... Jay-Z is supporting on other dates too. Here's what Club Wembley are offering as a package, fo...

Red List / Zoo9 / Sellindge Music Festival

Interesting and mysterious, someone has a reason for asking in this thread what bands would you like to come to Folkestone..? Anyone care to chip in? Being at least vaguely realistic, I nominate The Magic Numbers, Super Furry Animals, David Devant an...
