THE FRIDAY FIVE – 8.9.2017

Posted on by

1. U2 – You’re The Best Thing About Me
2. Ryan Adams – So Alive
3. Steely Dan – Dirty Work
4. Stereophonics – Caught By The Wind
5. Kasabian – Ill Ray

Guess what? I actually got a ticket for Ryan Adams. God bless last minute extra tickets going on sale.

Good luck to all those getting Liam Gallagher tickets this morning. At least with it being moved to The Odyssey from Ulster Hall, it won’t be as much of a scramble. Apologies for sounding smug, but i’ve already got one in the pre-sale.

THE FRIDAY FIVE – 1.9.2017

Posted on by

1. U2 – The Blackout
2. Paloma Faith – Crybaby
3. Saint Etienne – Dive
4. Liam Gallagher – For What It’s Worth
5. Death From Above – Never Swim Alone

So, after the Kasabian concert was cancelled last week, a new date has been announced …… for 2018, with hysterical headlines about people being outrages, with three of whom dying.

If you’re dead, missing out on seeing Kasabian will be the least of your worries.

I thought they would have just slotted an Odyssey gig into their Winter tour, but I can see the logistical problems involved, so it made more sense to have it at the same venue. That meant it would have to be August 2018.

I can survive waiting a year to see Kasabian, seeing that Bananarama fans had to wait 28 years to see the band return to Belfast after a cancelled concert in 1989.

If you bought a Kangol bucket hat and a Stone Island parka for Kasabian, it won’t be going to waste, as Liam Gallagher comes to Ulster Hall in October. I’m hoping to get a ticket for this because I am neither a Potato or a Beige Boy.

Talking of Ulster Hall, anyone fancy sorting me out for a Ryan Adams ticket for next week?
