Uh-huh...
Massive Attack at Victoria Park last night was... 'politcally charged' from beginning to end. Unreal visuals and energy.
Liz Fraser, Horace Andy and Mos Def all performed. Lovely.
Great to see Air play live too.
But, man, I'm increasingly intolerant of kids who go to gigs and talk and talk and frigging talk.
I'm sure it's because they don't go to pubs anymore. And, also, loads of cheap tickets on market.
Roll on Glastonbury... and a more music-loving and commited crowd.
Edit: Apparently, tickets for Lido gigs were being sold off for £10. That explains the 'casual' crowd.
I read tickets for Beyoncé’s tour were being sold cheap to try and sell out the venue. Similar complaints with fans who had pre-sale access paying 10 times someone who rocked up on the day.Talking of cheap tickets, just picked up 2 tickets for ‘Forever Now’ at Milton Keynes for £15 each ! Kraftwerk, TheThe, Pil, The Damned , The Mondays etc, etc
People on Facebook moaning it cost them 10 x as much…
Tickets way too overpriced these days and bargain hunting the filler sites very profitable

Thanks, that's a shame as London Grammar might have been nice. Not on O2.O2 Priority.
(Yeah, pretty underground)
All Lido gigs except Charli XCX, apparently.
In preparation for Outbreak next week was watching this, I f***ing hope everyone going to Outbreak sees them because they encapsulate everything great about hardcore music.
Plus a pit callout doesn't go harder than "violence, ruin someone's life".
You'll get cheap tickets for that on Twickets.Thanks, that's a shame as London Grammar might have been nice. Not on O2.
TemptedAnyone else going to Mogwai / Lankum at Cryst*l P*lace Bowl in August?
I'm not a hardcore fan of either, but The Twilight Sad and Caroline is quite an undercard!
Would rather see them in a dark room though.
