Mine include: Aerosmith, Jimmy Eat World/Paramore, Kanye West/Lupe Fiasco/N.E.R.D., and Warped Tour which has to many bands to mention. I know the Kanye West concert seems out of place, lol, my friend got free tickets.
My favorite would have to be Angels & Airwaves which I saw at Warped Tour. First of all I’m a huge Blink-182 fan so seeing Tom DeLonge in concert was amazing, and I was standing next to my girlfriend then the intense crowd separated us and I got pushed to the absolute front. It was awesome. Also, random fun fact, I went crowd surfing during All Time Low at Warped Tour and it was crazy fun.
The onese that stand out are:
Lenny Kravitz 1993
She wants revenge
Interpol
Radiohead
Depeche Mode
Royksop
White Zombie
Pearl Jam
Green Day
Smashing PUmpkins
NIN
Tricky
Sigur Ros
Zero 7
The Roots
Stevie B in 1989
Eve6 when I was around 12-13 D: I think Lit opened for them.
Ben Folds twice, at Summerfest in Milwaukee at one of the open/free stages
Rufus Wainwright at Summerfest, also on one of the open/free stages
Stevie Nicks at Summerfest, actual concert seats.
I think that’s it, sadly, unless I’m really blanking on something.
Tracy Chapman
Sin�ad O’Connor
Those were the only ones I’d care to share.
BUT, I have been to lots of concerts this year, though! Notable ones:
– Iron & Wine in Paris
– British Sea Power in Brussels (this was very good, but still not as good as the Brakes gig I went to in 2007)
– The Dillinger Escape Plan (and a couple of grindcore bands, very superb)
– Rockfest festival (small one, which was mainly to check out if Misery Signals are good live or not, and it was allright)
– No Age and I Love Sarah (neat noisy rock <3)
– Melt-Banana (more noise!)
– Adolescents (very lucky to see them live, that was a really nice start of the summer)
The summer was filled with traveling to many festivals, even more than last year’s holidays, it couldn’t have been better.
– Don Caballero, and later that eve a classic series of harsh breakcore sets.
– Later in october went to see M83 here in Antwerp, and it wasn’t bad at all!
– But the Lightning Bolt gig last month is the best concert I’ve ever been to, so far. <3
– And a short while ago I saw Jolie Holland and Sam Amidon, such sweet music, also very lucky for being able to actually go to it!
Couple of upcoming concerts: Tomorrow going to see Deerhoof, should be very awesome, and later this month Abe Vigoda (always with the noise rock), and Phoebe Killdeer. 😀 Ta-dah~
Most of my favourite artists are dead*, but my main reason is that I just don’t like to be around a lot of people, and I don’t like to be out late at night.
*This reminded me that Mitch Mitchell died a few weeks ago.

Less Than Jake

I went to an ACDC Back in Black tribute (free tickets). It was pretty kickass but I don’t really consider that a concert because it was a tribute.
I also went Glastonbury this year and a Hightlight of that was Ben Folds 🙂
