Rebellion Festival 2022 – my wander through it – Part 1
Part one of a four-day wander through this indoor with outdoor bonus festival – so much choice but this was my path through it all.
Duran Duran live in Hyde Park
Duran Duran bring the British Summertime Hyde Park concerts to an end for another Summer. I find myself watching the Brum boy popsters some 42 years since I first bumped into them. Wow, how times have changed.
The Rolling Stones live in Hyde Park
My gig of the year so far. Delivered in every way and I was amazed at how good these old boys are.
Guns N’ Roses live at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
A chance to see Guns N’Roses live in the UK, maybe the last chance. Axl Rose struggles to hit the highs but no one really minds.
ABC live in Bath
An irresistible orchestral performance of Lexicon of Love by ABC, to celebrate its 40th birthday and my gig buddy Dave’s 60th.
Elvis Costello live in Bath
The songwriting genius that is Elvis Costello puts the hits through the mangle – not all survive but I’d still go and see him again tommorrow, given the chance.
The Flaming Lips live in London
An extraordinary show with an inflatable monster and rainbow, a flying bird toy and a bubble that the lead singer performed a significant part of the set from. All is normal for a Flaming Lips show it seems.
The Killers live at Southampton F.C.
The long wait for The Killers UK tour is over and the crowd are on the pitch ready at the home of Southampton Football Club: Killers do Saints as I hit the bar.
