I know, I know! We’re almost halfway through the year and I’m only now writing about gigs I’m excited for this year. But as I looked through my calendar today, I thought it would be fun to tell you what gigs I’m looking forward to. I’m a gig addict after all. I love music and I love live music!

Gigs & Festivals
Kings of Leon | The Echo Arena Liverpool
As you’ve probably gathered from my previous posts, I’m a big fan of Kings of Leon, so much so that a road trip around the UK to see them perform at various venues is no biggie for us. A European road trip might be on the cards for their next tour. Watch this space. [Read more…] about Kings of Leon | The Echo Arena Liverpool
Kings of Leon | Metro Radio Arena Newcastle
Kings of Leon are my favourite band. I’ve seen them so many times, but it never gets boring, only more amazing. When they announced their UK tour I knew I had to get tickets for the Glasgow show, but I didn’t expect to end up getting Newcastle and Liverpool tickets as well. What can I say I love Kings of Leon and a good old road trip. [Read more…] about Kings of Leon | Metro Radio Arena Newcastle
The 1975 were Better than chocolate at The Hydro | Venue Access Review
I’ve been a fan of The 1975 for such a long time so when they announced dates for their UK tour I was straight online to find out more. I was even more excited to see they were coming to Scotland to perform at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow the week before Christmas. All I wanted for Christmas was tickets to this show.

Birdy at The Edinburgh Corn Exchange | Venue Access Review
I was supposed to see Birdy at the 02 ABC Glasgow, but due to the lift being broken at the venue I couldn’t attend. Upset and disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to attend Birdy’s show, which I had been looking forward to for such a long time, I was relieved to discover she was performing the following night at The Edinburgh Corn Exchange.

Guest Post: Festival volunteering & accessible camping with a disability
When you hear the word accessible, camping probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Music festivals can throw out so many additional barriers for disabled music fans; from camping out, storing medication, standing or sitting all day without a break, large crowds that appear much faster than they disappear and without a doubt the biggest barrier of all – MUD! Lots and lots of mud. [Read more…] about Guest Post: Festival volunteering & accessible camping with a disability
Nashville in Concert @ Colston Hall Bristol Venue Access Review
I’ve been a huge fan of the hit TV show “Nashville” ever since it first aired way back in 2012. So I couldn’t quite believe it when it was announced some of the cast were bringing their ‘Nashville in Concert’ tour to the UK after the success of their US tour. I had to get tickets no matter what! After all, I am a true ‘Nashie’. [Read more…] about Nashville in Concert @ Colston Hall Bristol Venue Access Review
Kip Moore at O2 ABC Glasgow | Wheelchair Access Review
It was a Saturday night and Kip Moore was in town playing at O2 ABC Glasgow. I had been looking forward to Kip’s return ever since he supported Lady Antebellum last March at the Clyde Auditorium and I couldn’t wait to see him again.

How accessible is Sneaky Pete’s for wheelchair users
A few nights ago we attended a gig at Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh to see Will Robert perform his first Scottish gig. As it was my first time at this music venue I was quite curious about the wheelchair accessibility. [Read more…] about How accessible is Sneaky Pete’s for wheelchair users
