Status quo loads of times at The Big Apple. David Bowie supporting The Groundhogs at The Dome. I'm sure I saw Tom Petty and the heartbreakers as the support act at The Dome circa 1976, but I can't remember who was headlining.

Not really sure it counts but You Me At Six supporting Fightstar at the Concorde 2.
 


I didn't but my elder brother saw Sparks in the early 70s in London and they were supported by the unknown band 'Queen'

My favourite support I'd never heard before were The Magic Numbers when they supported The Charlatans at Brixton a few years back (probably still a "who?" though)

Southside Johnny, maybe? I think I was there for that one.

In Brighton? I was at that one, for some reason I got hold of one of the drumsticks after they finished the show.

Petty Supported Nils Lofgren at The Dome on 12 May 1977. I think I saw him at The Dome twice. He headlined at The Brighton Centre on 12 Dec 1982. (long after dark tour). I remember being ambivalent about that one at the time. I'd crawl across hot coals to see Petty in concert now!
