...techno remix of the latest U2 single saw the entire band doing a lap of the outer stage, including Larry, who temporarily abandoned his drum kit in favour of a djemba allowing us all to get a glimpse of the reclusive drummer. 5. Walk On Written in tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi, the imprisoned Burmese activist, Walk On was dedicated to said lady and the crowd were urged to put on masks of her face (which we had been issued with upon entry) as ...
...government. U2 were joined on stage by a number of "volunteers" also wearing the mask. Seeing thousands of people in masks was kind of spooky... 6. Mysterious Ways One of my favourite U2 tracks and one they chose not to play last time I saw them in 2005. Included as a highlight just because I love the tune! 7. Ultraviolet Bono emerged onto the stage for the encore wearing a suit fitted with red lasers which sparked all across the ... Read review

Spandau Ballet Reformation Tour - Tuesday 20th October 2009 - O2 Arena What? The Reformation Tour is the first live appearances of Spandau Ballet since their acrimonious split in 1989 which ended with half the band suing the others over song-writing royalties. Although three members attempted to tour together in the 1990's, the public lost their hunger for the new romantics and each went their own seperate ways. The Reformation Tour is the ...
...Hailing from North London, Spandau Ballet comprise of: Tony Hadley - lead vocals Gary Kemp - guitar, keyboards and backing vocals Martin Kemp - bass guitar Steve Norman - saxophone, guitar and percussion (mainly bongos!) John Keeble - drums and backing vocals Since the heady days of their greatest success in the 80's, the Kemp brothers have added to their repertoir of skills performing in films (most notably as the infamous Kray twins) and ...

Advantages: The show of a lifetime!
Disadvantages: Long queues to get out of the building to the station. Drinks expensive in the stadium.

...was lucky enough to see Take That at Wembley stadium. This is my third time of seeing 'the boys' but it was definitely the best show I have ever seen them perform. At Earls Court many years ago and at the O2 for their comeback tour they were brilliant, but this tour is absolutely out of this world. Even the most anti Take That person (if they exist!) could not fail to be wowed by this dazzling circus show complete with trapeze artists, high wire ...
...when she tours herself. Take That look better than ever; fitter and happier than ever before and they are all so handsome I wouldn't know who to choose first - although I suspect Gary might just pip the others at the post if he asked me nicely :-). I defy anyone to say it wasn't a fantastic show and would recommend it to everybody. No wonder the media are calling it 'the best concert of all time' - it truly was. ... Read review

Advantages: Great Voice, Sexy Dance Routines, Long set

...my boyfriend to go see Will Young at the Sheffield Hallam FM Arena on the 19th September. Who is he and why did I want to go? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Will Young came about in the UK from the popular reality tv programme, Pop Idol in 2002. Week in week out people voted for their favourite singer from a group of 12 men and women. These had been whittled down from around 30'000 auditionees. From the beginning of the live ...
...fluster! I was a dedicated Will Fan and voted week in week out, culminating in a Will Party with my friends on the night of the live finale show. It was a close run contest with Will pipping Gareth Gates (remember him?!) to the title of Pop Idol with an astonishing 4.6 million votes cast for him. He quickly brought out his first album and single 'Evergreen' which sold 1,108,659 copies in its first week, becoming one of the UKs best selling debut ... Read review

Advantages: Great songs, nostalgic, amazing day out, worth the wait
Disadvantages: No Robbie?

...have been a die hard Take That fan since I was about 6 years old. When they broke up, I was devestated, I thought my life had ended. "I'LL NEVER GET OVER THIS" I recall sobbing to my mum! Anyway, time went by and needless to say I did. But that blank space in my heart that Take That used to fill remained. No other boyband could fill it. So over 10 years later when I heard Take That had reformed and were planning a tour I was so totally over the moon! ...
...one. I came across a Take That DVD, I was proper chuffed and after about 10 seconds just threw it to one side to make way for the rest of my presents! "Wait! Look at that DVD again" said my mum - so I did and realised there was an envelope celotaped to it. I opened the envelope and sitting there before my eyes - 2 TICKETS TO SEE TAKE THAT LIVE! 6 long months past and 25th June 2006 arrived. I decided to ask my mum to go with me as back in the day ...
