I was going to say I'd be in London that weekend, but unfortunately the gig is on a Thursday and I don't arrive until the Friday.

I see that Ellie Goulding is playing the same venue on the Friday night, and Lamb are playing the same venue 2 nights later!

Marvelous line-up. Although, I'm going to see them this summer in Katowice, shame Ellie had got sick last year when she was going to perform on Heineken Festival in Poland. She promised to come back....

Saw Alicia Keys on the 13th, best concert I've ever been too!

by **steophonic** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:10 pm

I know I don't get out much, but Kings of Leon were awesome. Probably the best gig i've been to. It was at Manchester Cricket Ground so it was open air and had a festival feel to it - also with the fact that there were about 40,000 people there made the atmosphere really great.

Band from Tennessee called Mona started off and they were really good. Then White Lies, who were probably the weakest. They started off good but it got a tad boring during the middle of their set because it was a bit samey. Then Zane Lowe did a DJ set which was quality.... got all the crowd going - I would pay just to go and see him do a full set to be honest!

Then obviously KOL were brilliant. Yeah, if anyone gets chance to see them next time around, I'd recommend it. :wink:
