What gig are you going to?
Saw the thread on the Pink Floyd tribute act, and thought it would be interesting to see what gigs people are going to.
We're off too see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in July and Echo and the Bunnymen in August. Also considering picking up some tickets to see The Eels, all at different venues in San Francisco

Re: What gig are you going to?
I saw all of Queen back in the 80's
Just been to London Grammar, San Fermin, Chvrches, Ellie Goulding.
Next it's Christina Perri, Birdy and Fitz and the Tantrums.
May have to consider the Eels also.

Seen The National, Chvrches and Grouplove in the last month
Got tickets for Passenger yesterday.
So many others I want to see - that's the problem with LA - everyone plays here!

Re: What gig are you going to?
How does everyone find out about who's playing?
I've found Pollstar ok but was wondering whether there are any other sites that are better?
While I've been to several gigs since I moved here, they're few and far between as I'm out in the sticks and Boston's a bit of a hike on a school night.
A quick check of Pollstar reveals that Diarrhea Planet are playing near me soon. Never heard of them though, and to be honest they do sound a bit shit.

Generally I'm on the mailing lists of the artists I like seeing live, so I get notification that way, plus usual emails from ticketmaster and local venues etc

Eddie Izzard in Charlotte (does that count as a gig?) and Elvis Costello in Atlanta. We're lucky to see anything at all in Columbia!
