Royal Blood were one of the supports for the Foo Fighters tonight and along with being absolutely superb, the drummer held aloft an Albion flag during the other blokes guitar solo. Made me very proud!! Chanted Seagulls in response but no one else joined in.

I thought Royal Blood were awesome tonight too. Like you I did chant "seagulls" when Ben collected the Albion flag; everyone around me looked at me as if I was mad!

The Foos were absolutely brilliant tonight too.

Iggy Pop wasn't.

Ben suggested he wasn't doing that tonight but was going to be donning a Rustington Otters jacket!

Good gig tonight. Ben's getting a bit of a collection, said he gets given a BHA flag at most gigs now.

The Otters jacket is a piece of art, and hilariously was made to specifications by Levi's.

I said to my friends at the concert last night that I would have happily paid the entrance money just to see Royal Blood, that's how good they were. Clearly they'll need some additional material, but I believe they're working on that at the moment (they played one new one last night I think). Hopefully they're destined for even greater things.

I saw them a few months after their album come out and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. They sound incredible live

Went to MK yesterday and missed Royal Blood and Iggy Pop as it took nearly 4 hours to get from M1 to venue as the promoters decided to let anyone pay £20 to park their cars at the car park ignoring the fact that the people that pre booked would have no where to park, thus mayhem, damn crooks the lot of them. I will be after a refund and day ruined by the greed of the promotor. If going today, leave now if you want to see the support.

Went to MK yesterday and thought all 3 bands were fantastic, great day. Put our BHA flag up when Royal Blood were on which Ben acknowledged!

As a side note if anyone got one of the free key rings being handed out you may want to get them on eBay as there going for silly money as a limited edition.

Crikey sounds like I got lucky then. I drove and got to MK at 3:30 got parked at 5:10 but only after I got fed being directed around various industrial estates and paid some mush £15 to park outside his unit. Getting away was easy though and I was back in Sussex before 1.

Royal Blood were excellent but you didn't miss anything with Iggy Pop. Foo's were just the Foo's. Flip me it was cold though!

I think that ship has sailed. You got me excited then as I managed to get one going in. People selling them for £4 now....or is that what you define as silly money?

I went yesterday got to mk at 4 then 2hrs to go 2 miles got in just as rb finishing their set. Then stuck in car park for 40 minutes and grid lock to get back on. M1. Problem is all traffic is corralled into one road. If I had known the area I could have got in and out quicker. Iggy was good , foos were brilliant, rb sounded good from what I heard. I got a key ring if anyone wants it it is yours for a £100:banana:

We didn't book a space and arrived in MK at 4pm after leaving Lewes at 1.45pm.

Not a problem, just found a business park near Stadium MK. Parked the car on the road for nothing and walked for 20 mins. I can't believe the problems I'm reading!

Couldn't have been easier. Sorry :lolol:

Royal Blood were excellent as expected. Gig at the Amex one day would be quite nice, wouldnt it.

i thought the whole point of Milton Keynes was that it was super functional instead of interesting? I've heard loads of reports about it being a nightmare to get in and out of gigs there

Why wouldn't you wear a Otters jacket?
