Summer is almost approaching and the stadium shows and festivals will begin soon. This year, my summer of music includes three trips to Wembley Stadium within the space of four weeks:
On the Saturday 15th of June, my friend, her daughter and I will be heading back to my childhood and enjoying the cheesy pop night with the reunion of the Spice Girls. Yes I know this may seem lame to many people, and does not match well to the niche of this blog, but to me I get to enjoy something I never got to as a child and it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see them perform live.
Six days later, I’m back at Wembley Stadium to see Bon Jovi who I first came o love when hearing Livin’ On A Prayer & It’s My Life at school discos. I looked up their back catalogue and loved them even more. They have been on my bucket list to see live for the past decade and this year I finally get to see them.
Two weeks after that, my third trip is treating my Dad for his 60th birthday to see The Who. I saw them headline Glastonbury in 2015 and thought they were amazing. As soon as I saw tickets were on sale, I knew I had to get them. They will be supported by Eddie Veddar, lead singer of Pearl Jam, and the Kaiser Chiefs.
I will of course be sharing reviews of these live shows over the next month – stay tuned!
In terms of festivals, I’ve still not had a chance to book anything. I tried booking tickets for Glastonbury back in October but was unsuccessful. I did consider a Sunday day ticket to Reading Festival where Foo Fighters are scheduled to headline, but again they are sold out. I may try a day ticket to Victorious Festival as it is the most local to me but I’m still working out logistics and availability.
In the meantime, please continue to read, like, comment and share all my previous live music reviews from 2017/18 and this year’s Snow Patrol & Killer Queen.
