I was really hyped to see Teenage Wrist last year, but the “headliner” of their tour - a far less notable act, in my opinion - got sick or something and the whole tour got cancelled. Shame. I’d have paid double to just see a longer set of Teenage Wrist without the headliner.
In Australia, we’re lucky to get anyone foreign visiting our shores. Pearl Jam did come out last year, but nosebleed tickets were >$360 each, so that was a hard “nope”.
But there’s almost any price that my wife and I would pay to see Angels and Airwaves.
David Bowie cause you know he’s dead.
No band in particular, but I’d love to go back to Sheffield for Tramlines sometime … though I know it’s changed and commercialised since I last went :-/
Most of them, really. I live in the sticks, even by scandinavian standards. My closest concert venue that books big artists is a 6 hour drive away.
So whenever I’m down there for work at the head office, I see who are performing around the same time so I get the travel expense covered. And when Dream Theater and Devin Townsend performed on the same stage on the same night, I made sure to find some reason to travel to the office.
And I’ve invited some coworkers to a meeting in April next year. Agenda: “doesn’t matter. We’ll find something”. The reason: Probably my last chance to see Rush perform.
I did manage to see Propagandhi back in 2009ish, and it was maybe the best damn show I’ve ever been to.
Then they didn’t come back for over a decade. And that show got canceled because the frontman got covid the night before.
Then they were supposed to pay a festival near here, but they announced right before that they were never going to tour America again because of all the fascist bullshit.
Penn and Teller! They aren’t going to be around forever, so I’d really like to see them live sometime soon. But there’s no way I would ever travel anywhere close to the USA :/
They have shows scheduled in Canada and the UK. Could look into those?
there’s a Mongolian black death metal band out there that I thought would be really cool to see; they actually went on a world tour and played about 10 miles from me (in the US) but I didn’t go.
I should have gone. :(
The Hu?
Exactly!
First base
Most of them never come to my part of the country. But to be honest I probably won’t go anyways. Most bands are not that good live in concert anyways. I’ve seen videos even professionally done videos of certain bands, and certain singers videos where they were live on stage and I’m just thinking, I don’t know if I’d pay to ever see this.
That and you have way too many people who think it’s OK to put a massive sign in front of you. Hey look now I can’t see anything. Or everybody having their arms up holding their phone and to be honest I just don’t see the benefit of that. Put the phones away enjoy the moment. To me it just detracts from it. I’m tall, but when everybody’s got their arms up, guess what they’re blocking my view of the stage. It’s a sea of arms and phones. Like I said, I just don’t enjoy it.
Jimi Hendrix
I wouldn’t mind if Lordi came to the US again. I got to see them once, but some drunk guy kept bumping into me the whole time so it was pretty distracting.
Smashing Pumpkins
My beloved
Love them, but they’re terrible live.
I wanted to see Ghost one of the few times they were coming to my city, but it just didn’t work out. I was going to buy tickets to Rammstein, but then covid happened, the singer caught covid, and they cancelled the tour. I was going to go to RATM at all costs for their reunion, and then Zach broke his leg.
I’m from south america, so my chances are already slim, but I’ve been lucky to have watched The Living Tombstone and My Chemical Romace live, which are some of my favorite bands.
Most of the solo artists I like are very niche, or not big enough for a worldwide tour, so I know it’s gona take years for me to be able to see Ren, Rio Romeo, Will Wood or Femtanyl live.
Riverside. Truckfighters. Witchcraft. Porcupine tree.
They dont come to the US because we have awful music taste.
Ooh porcupine tree would be great.
