Cool I have heard of Paloma Faith. What kinda music is it?. Lol most people think my taste in music is faggy but I don't care ha ha. Joan Jett supported Green Day was brilliant

I'd call it Soul/Pop shes writes and composes literally all her material and puts on an amazing show live, shes such a character! Definitely money well spent.

Three

Gavin degraw, Lily allen and Leona. Got pixie in December

Leona was my best one because she had a theme and of course she is just gorgeous. She put on a great show. I had shit seats and couldn't have been any further from the back so i had to make do with what i saw on the screens above. I was majorly impressed from what i could see.

This year i've seen Lady GaGa, Pink and Pet Shop Boys. All of which were really incredible.

Also Sophie Ellis-Bextor supported PSBs and she was fantastic. She was on about 50 minutes herself and really got the audience going. I hope she does her own tour for her new album.

Amy Winehoue, Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga.

All three were incredible but Amy was my favourite. She played the Itunes Festival at the ICA in 2007 and was on phenomenal form that night. To see Amy live in good form is amazing. Her voice and emotion is like nothing you've ever seen before.

Over 40.
All pop acts.
Roadshows, PITP's, charity gigs etc..

The best?
Britney - the show, not her, was just great.
Spice Girls - never saw them as I was too young the first time around.
Darren Hayes - just wow. He's totally underrated. His voice is a-maz-ing.

Tsunami Aid & the Concert for Diana were great, just a variety of different acts, something for everybody.

Does Proms in the Park count?

These days we are more likely to go and see a show than a "gig" - The last couple of things I went to see were Rolando Villazon's Handel concert at the Royal Festival Hall and Manon at the ROH.

I suppose the best "gig" I went to was Robbie Williams at Knebworth - I was never a fan and just went to keep Emms company and for the atmosphere... but I really enjoyed it.

The Darkness, Moby and Kelly Osborne were the support acts...

I'm at the stage where I've lost count, but I'd guestimate at around 200.

My favourite one would either be Levellers - Sunderland 1998, Fear Factory - Newcastle 2005, Wildhearts / Therapy - Newcastle 2004, Madness - Newcastle 1999, Offspring - Brixton 2005 or Rage Against The Machine - Finsbury Park 2010.

Too many to list. Best/favourite show I've ever seen would be Springsteen at the RDS Dublin in 2003. Followed by Mary Chapin Carpenter at Hammersmith in 1995 and the autumn 2005 KT Tunstall tour.

Worst gig......would have to be Steven Seagal and Thunderbox,he should stick to films as whilst he's never going to be the worlds best actor he's better at that then playing music!

Yep. He was running late - no idea why tbh, I don't recall them giving an explanation - & Gervais had to fill in for him, for what felt like forever!

I think on the DVD they cut all of the 'filling' out, which is a shame as it was the funniest part.

Sadly, I had to leave before Elton finished his entire set.

Been to maybe a dozen gigs/concerts, but been to 5 festivals (1x Radio1s Big Weekend and 4x T in the Park)

Best actual gig was Coldplay at Hampden 2009

Black Eyed Peas at TITP 2010 were also brilliant

Been to way too many to list here, some of the best were White Stripes at Reading 2002, Teenage Fanclub at The Forum in London 1995, R.E.M. at T in the Park in 2003, Morrissey at Blackpool Empress Ballroom in 2004 to name a few, I'm sure there's loads more that I'll remember at some point, Saw the Pet Shop Boys live last night for the first time and they were fantastic.

One of the most memorable gigs I have seen is The Killers play in a pub in Leicester (The Charlotte) to about 50 people a month or two before Mr Brightside went mega. They were supporting a band from New York called Stellastarr*

I love live music and get to as many gigs as humanly and financially possible.

Erm been to:-

Westlife
Busted
Steps
McFly
Avril Lavigne, she also had the Jonas Brothers as her support so i've seen them too.
Fall out boy
Kelly Clarkson
Oasis
The Enemy
Leona Lewis
& Pink

I've also seen loads others but not really at their own shows & more at open air concerts & events like! Out of the ones above that i have seen at their own proper gig, Pink is without a doubt the best I've seen her 4times now, the most recent been last month during her Funhouse summer carnival tour & once again she was just awesome!
However Leona actually surprised me with just how good she was too, she was alot better then i had expected.
