Rather selfishly, my sister is having a do for her 30th so I won't be able to go to the gig :-(

Good event to celebrate a 30th I would have thought!

Ha, she's not a fan sadly

In any case, I've got a few other gigs coming up to whet the appetite!

Kendal Calling at the end of this month, The Enemy in September in Liverpool, then The Maytals in Manchester the following night. UB40 at KGH in October as well!

Would have loved to be going to the UB40 gig but can't with the newborn unfortunately! However if it was 'Ali Campbell's UB40' then that might just have sealed it!

New York Tourists supporting Status Quo, good effort lads

I enjoyed myself Wednesday as well. The atmosphere was so good, great to finally get to see them.

Here you go folks.....

First time I've not been at Beat Herder this year since going for the first time in 2009! Getting my festival fix at Kendal Calling in a couple of weeks, canny wait!

Metal only? Nah you're alright mate! Happy to go to loads of other gigs like, but over £200 with only metal, no thanks, I need some variety!

Pennywise, NOFX, Anti-Flag, The Wildhearts aren't Metal.

True, but it all seems as though it's from the same universe and not all THAT varied....

They had muse last year as well and there really limp wristed

Headlining Sunday to give everyone a good nights kip before driving home.

So. I might be back in Lancs for my winter holiday soon.

The Rebellion festival in August (4-7th) in Blackpool seems like a good crack (loads of proper old school classic punk bands on the line-up).

Has anyone been? I bet it's a riot - chav town during tourist season + punks.

Warehouse Project calendar announced for September onwards- https://www.thewarehouseproject.com/calendar.php.

Hoping they add a New Order date like last year, but definitely going to the Fatboy Slim one in December!

I've found that a lot of the line ups have one or two good acts on, there aren't THAT many real stand out every act is a banger sort of nights (bar the ones with small numbers on the bill).

NOFX are legendary and must be seen live

Rebellion has sold out (inc. the Saturday day tickets)

Looks like it might have to be a couple of day tickets and a '5 hours 3 rides' visit to The Pleasure Beach

I went to the Great Northern Ska festival in Manchester yesterday, very good indeed, think the tickets were only £20 or so each as well. The Selecter were a little disappointing, but The Beat were excellent!

Space disco in Ibiza closes for good in October! Pepe has had enough at 80 years old. For those fortunate to have had the pleasure to sample its delights over the past 27 years you will know it has always been mad as a box of frogs. One abiding memory of many was seeing Brandon Block, one of the founding fathers of Sunday afternoons on the terrace, climbing in over the wall after getting thrown out. Happy memories.

Is that the one in plays de bossa that blasts @#/? out all the time

Both times I've been, it's been great. Saw some great acts and had the best times.

To close what has been a phenomenal exhibition on The Jam at the Cunard Building in Liverpool all summer, a charity concert has been arranged for 5th October at the Liverpool Echo Arena.

Nicky Weller (frontman Paul’s sister and co-curator of the exhibition) is organising the gig – “A Celebration of The Jam” – which will feature original band members, bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler, who will perform alongside The Paul Weller Band and a host of very special guests.

So my question is this:

They have hired an 8k capacity arena which has just about sold out in less than 24 hours with ticket prices starting at circa £50.

How p1ssed off is everyone going to be if Paul Weller doesn't show up?
