Sticking to rock/punk/metal adjacent genres, the best I've been to so far this year was Show Me the Body, although Tinariwen were also very good, and my most anticipated for the rest of the year is Lingua Ignota supported by Ashenspire and Ken Mode (amazing combination!)

Check out some of the other awesome groups in music:
After seeing Muse and, erm, Elton John, last month I have recently bought tickets to Punk Rock Factory and Creeper, both in Manchester.
Never seen Elton but I do get he is a true performer. I hear he was amazing at Glasto. I am definately looking forward to seeing PRF. They were meant to be at SlamDunk this year but fell off the rosta a week or two before.
I saw PRF at Download last year and they were excellent.
Creeper too for that matter.
This year so far:
- Snuff
- mad sin
- carcass
- grade 2
Have got h20 and sham69 booked too.
WOW... I did not know Snuff were still going. There is a blast from the past. That is an epic lineup for sure.
Blimey! You've hit the ground running there!
I was definitely wary about going to a post-Pandemic gig.(Slipknot was my last before Lockdown). Went to see Enter Shikari last year and was distinctly wary, it just all seemed wrong. However, most recently (so not that recent), I saw Idles and they won me back round. Life has just been a bit hectic since and I've struggled to get out further than my local Odeon recently.
I feel that. Even when I went to see Evanescence (3 years after originally planned), it still had the post-pandemic vibe and I think a lot of people were uneasy. Another reason why I left it a few months before commiting to anything else major.
