After going to see The Feeling at the beginning of March, and loving it so much, me and my friends were on the lookout for the next big gig to buy tickets for and attend.
A quick search on GigsandTours.com later, and we decided to purchase tickets for the Sugababes at the Manchester Apollo on the 2nd of April.

Even though the tickets had been on sale for months, there were a few remaining, and we struck lucky.
I approached the gig with part excitement, part trepidation, as it was to be the most “Pop” concert I’ve ever been to. In fact, …read more

One of my favourite British bands, and one who don’t get the recognition, or chart success they deserve, have announced their upcoming US tour, and this is my call to arms for all of you Americans reading this to go and see them live.
At the end of last month, The Cribs announced the addition of a fourth member, that being legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, to their line up, and now they are heading out on a US tour.
The run of shows will begin in Houston on March 11, and end in Los Angeles on April 4.
The line-up includes …read more

Ever since Led Zeppelin got back together for their “one off” reunion concert at the London 02 Arena, there has been intense speculation about a full tour, and the possibilities of a permanent reunion.
It would certainly be the only way to please, and appease the hundreds of thousands of fans who weren’t able to see their comeback in December.
Jimmy Page has now made comments to reporters in Tokyo which could (if you read between the lines) signal that a world tour is a definite possibility. He said:
“I can assure you the amount of work that we put into the O2, …read more

The Spice Girls are currently on a huge world tour, which they have spectacularly managed to sell out everywhere.
But despite the hundreds of thousands of people paying a fortune to see the reformed girl group, if you believe Geri Halliwell’s latest claim, the girls won’t make a penny from it.
The widespread belief up to now has been that the girls were offered, and accepted, millions of pounds each to get back together and embark on one last tour as a fivesome.
It’s no surprise that the girls haven’t always got on that well, so I would imagine any less …read more

The Led Zeppelin reunion concert was such a massive success that there have obviously been massive calls from the public, especially fans who couldn’t get tickets for the one off gig, for a full UK, or world tour.
I am with them, wishing the existing members would just bite the bullet and give everyone what they want.
But not everyone shares this view, and unfortunately that number includes Jason Bonham, John’s son, and the man who drummed at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert.

Ever since Take That announced their intention to get back together, fans and music industry pundits alike have been wondering if and when Robbie Williams would join his old sparring partners to become a five piece again.
It hasn’t happened yet, but doesn’t seem to have badly affected Take That’s comeback, with them looking fitter, and recording better music than ever before.
But, Robbie Williams’ mum has now revealed that she thinks Robbie will join his old group at some point in the future, telling the Stoke Sentinel via Digital Spy:
“On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that …read more

The Spice Girls may have had a very successful comeback in terms of ticket sales for their world tour, but their comeback single ‘Headlines’ bombed, despite being in aid of the Children In Need charity, and they got some heat last week for miming rather than singing live on television.
Now, John McClure, lead singer of the Reverend and the Makers has launched a scathing attack on the group, questioning their motives for returning and flinging some quite personal insults.
He told the Daily Star newspaper:
“The Spice Girls are in it for the money. They’re totally devoid of talent and everyone knows …read more

The Spice Girls go together this week to record the promo video for new single Headlines ahead of setting of on their record breaking world tour. The problem is the get together allegedly saw all five girls arguing, crying and generally acting like divas.
The Sun newspaper are reporting that when the girls got together at Pinewood Studios to record the video for the Children In Need single, all hell broke loose in a fir or petty quarrels which almost lead to the band splitting up again before their comeback even officially begins.

Robert Plant has dashed the hopes of everyone who failed to get a ticket for the one off Led Zeppelin reunion concert in November by stating there will be no full tour forthcoming.
The Led Zeppelin frontman told the Daily Express:
“We need to do one last great show, because we’ve done some shows, and they’ve been crap.”
“I know I’m getting on, when I come back from touring I’m shocked to find a lot of my mates tend to be going to bed far too early, and that means I should probably be doing the same. Maybe I should stop having …read more
