Hard to choose but, if there are any that stand out it would be...

Frank Turner in Leeds (2019). I had seen him for the very first time, supporting Blick-182 a couple of years before. He is an entertainer for sure and paying to see him as the main act just made it way better. Would definately go to see him again!
While vastly different in genre, one of the best experiences would be when I went to see Andrea Bocelli (Leeds). My mum had always wanted to see him and I like classical music so it was win-win. I was never expecting the spectacular evening I was in for! Yeah, tickets were not cheap but it was worth it, if nothing more than to see my mum clearly experince a once in a lifetime evening.

My tenure in attending gigs is short as was never really in to gigs when growing up. It has only been the past 8 years or so I have attended them. Prior to that it was purely stage shows.
