Lucky so 'n so. I feel like I’ve been punished since I came back in the south of France. No bands that I listen to do ever come to tour around here. Paris if your lucky but most of 'em don’t even bother playing in France. They do dozens of dates in Poland or Germany though 
and UK of course. So unless I get my ass over to the UK like I’ll do twice this March or have done in the past, I’m condemned to never see anyone, it sucks!

Like Andy said, Brilliant hot summer day and night. The Real Marillion, what a gig, 40,000+ it was just a a perfect day, not to mention Gary Moore RIP, Jethro Tull, Magnum & Mamas Boys.

I just bought tickets to a show by “a Nightwish cover band”, which certainly will be an actual Nightwish gig under an alias. It’s on the date when the new album is released and there is no information anywhere about this so called Nevski & The Prospects.

RUSSIA’S MOST POPULAR NIGHTWISH COVER BAND TO PLAY AT THE RELEASE PARTY FOR THE NEW NIGHTWISH ALBUM AT CLUB TEATRIA, OULU
To celebrate the release of the new studio album by Nightwish on April 10th, 2020, a release party will be held at Club Teatria, Oulu. ”Nightwish have played the venue in the past, so now that we have this new club and Nightwish have a new album coming out, we thought we’d have a party. A friend of a friend even managed to get an excellent cover band from St. Petersburg to play at the event. It’s going to be one hell of a party!” comments promoter Marco Järvenpää, also known for organizing the Jalometalli festival.
The tickets will be available on Monday 20th of January at 9am. You can get the tickets from Ticketmaster.fi

How do you people hear about the gigs coming up apart from the obvious artist by artist search on internet, announcement on their own FB page or whatever? Do you subscribe to alerts from specialised websites? Seems I miss lots of them even though I think I’m looking everywhere.
Looking inside Classic Rock or Prog Rock magazine was a piece of cake but I don’t have access to them anymore and couldn’t find anything on the magazine’s website.
I have email alerts from all the local venues. This is the best way. Typically they send out advance notice of upcoming gigs plus pre-sale codes for getting the tickets early.
Plus the usual sources … online, friends, local newspaper and radio. I am also on a few artist mailing lists … also I have the Ticketmaster, AXS and Live Nation apps on my phone … they like to spam me … I’m currently getting notified that “Because I bought One Direction tickets I may be interested in buying Justin Bieber tickets” ???
(I did buy One Direction tickets a few years ago but not for me … honest!)

Jeff Lynne’s ELO will be touring later this year and it would be great to get to see him live. No gigs in Finland but some cities that are pretty easy to go to though. So I haven’t bought tickets yet but really tempted.

Lauri I hope you have been saving or can get a bank loan. Tickets are an astronomical price here. Took the plunge when he last toured. It was certainly a great gig but eye watering price this time around means I wont be going.
I’m really pissed off that i’m not joining eveyone for Fish in Edinburgh. However i will console myself with Diamond Head in Swansea on the Friday, and tempted by Joanne Shaw Taylor on the Saturday ( but £30 in a shit venue is putting me off. Would love to see JST but too expensive).

My gf and I were planning to go and see Evanescence & Within Temptation in Amsterdam on 21st April but we’ve split, does anyone know how I can sell the tickets in Holland or want them (for a reasonable price)?
Please try ticketmaster Netherlands …
Many thanks but that’s to buy tickets, not to sell them

If you’re on FB Keith, you could try the band’s Facebook page.
Or you can ask your ticket shop, were you bought your tickets, if they have a resale area.

Thank you, it works for the UK site but not the Dutch Ticketmaster site! Grrr. I have sent them a help request, otherwise I lose nearly €200.
Thank you for your help
