Did my last gig of the year last night, Stereophonics at the O2. Older stuff was great, newer stuff less impressive.
With the rising costs of ticket prices and the fact that I've seen pretty much everyone I could ever want to see I've resolved to be a lot more selective with what gigs I buy from now on. Think Keo in March is my first gig of 2026.
Top ten gigs of the year:
Oasis - Cardiff opening night of the tour, atmosphere unlike any gig I've ever been to.
Radiohead - The O2 Nights 1 & 4 (cheating a little by including two but I consider them two halves of the same show)
Olivia Rodrigo - Glastonbury
Wolf Alice - The O2
Pulp - Glastonbury
Oasis - Wembley (had VIP and got plastered on free booze)
Fontaines DC - Finsbury Park
Gorillaz (Demon Days) - Copper Box
The Cribs - All Points East
The Murder Capital - HERE @ Outernet
