Hopefully Benicassim if my friends get their shit together and realise it's better getting a hotel than camping!!!!

I went last year, and I don't think they realise JUST how hot it gets. Especially in the middle of a field with no shade whatsoever.

I've already seen Madness and James Blunt, and will be adding Jamiroquai to that list next month. Nothing else booked for now but hopefully that will change soon... I particularly want to see Avril Lavigne when she hits the UK.

I reccommended anyone here go and see Big country, you wont be disappointed, Mike Peter on Vocals, and heading into the 30th aniversary release of the Crossing, and come Dec it will be the 10 Anniversary of Stuart Adamsons Death

No details of any tribute, but many suspect something will happen in Dec either on the 16 Dec or on 31 Dec at the Glasgow Barrowlands, a true hogmanny concert

I am going to see them at the HMV Picture House,Edinburgh

Katy Perry On the 27th (This was before firework gate so I'm settling for it to be a good live overall pop performance just a weak vocal one).
Kate Nash on April 5th (This is my second haunt on her since october last year I even know and love the opening act!)

That is it for now but I'm getting some slight temptations but I don't really wanna go trekking to Manchester constantly like I did autumn/winter last year. (I spent over £100 on train travel and double that on gig tickets... :O)

Oh, I just realised I am going to see Enrique Inglasias in Newcastle in a couple of weeks. Not my decision. I forced a friend to come and see M.I.A. with me so she is forcing me to go and see him, much to my disagreement

You have my deepest sympathy. No, I'm serious! I'd rather go to no concerts ever again than be forced to attend a Westlife concert!!!

I'm hoping to see Kylie in April but it's looking very doubtful. If I can't see her, I'll be seeing Eddi Reader instead as compensation. Otherwise there is nothing big lined up I fancy splashing out for this year, that I know of.

I would never, ever go to Beni again if I wasn't in a hotel. Your friends are mental.
