Ok, it would be kind of interesting to see what gigs everyone is planning to go to, so post a list of bands+date you'll be seeing. You can re-post your list anytime it's updated. Don't post gigs more than let's say, around 6 months away.

My list:

2 Februari:
Obituary + Holy Moses + Avatar

15 Februari:
Megadeth + Evilive
(it's sold out and I have no ticket, but there is a chance there will be more tickets. I hope so.)

15 April:
Exodus

25 April:
Face Your Underground Fest 4
Vader + Septic Flesh + General Surgery + Devian + alot more

27-28-29 July:

Sunday 24th of February
SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL. I've been looking forward to that for months.

That's pretty much it, not many good bands come to Australia. I could've gone to the Big Day Out but I really only wanted to see one or two bands, so it just wasn't worth it. Oh and I'll definitely be going to Taste of Chaos again this year.

I don't have any concerts planned at the moment, however I'm pretty sure Thrice are paying a visit to the UK after they finish their Canadian mini tour, and I don't care how far I have to goo or how much it costs I am going to see them. Probably even twice since I'm like that.

30th of January (wednesday night) I'm seeing Dream Theater. Three and a half hour show. Symphony X are coming to Aus at a date which is TBA, so I'll make sure I catch that too.

Explosions in the sky

I do not have a date confirmed as of yet, but I'm going and that's final.

this is not a post

01-26-2008, 6:03 PM

I'm seeing Reel Big Fish in Newcastle, Feb 15th. Will technically be my first gig, and Streetlight Manifesto are supporting, so I'm pretty damn stoked.

Same venue Hickabod, or another?

Dark Star Orchestra - March 1

Enough said.

Streetlight Supporting? God damnit, If i'd have known about that I'd have booked flights and went. Bit late now, flights would cost an arm, a leg, and my left ball.

February 9th-Badfish-A Tribute to Sublime

February 16th-Molotov

February 22nd-Aiden

March 8th-Dropkick Murphys

Possibly April 17th-Ministry's farewell tour. I'm still not sure about this one, because I don't listen to much Ministry, until recently when my friend gave me a whole bunch of their CD's. If I really like what I hear i'll go, but I think it'll also be cool to say I saw their last tour.

July 3rd-Warped Tour '08, so far for Pennywise and Reel Big Fish. I'm not expecting much else this year really. Warped Tour has been going on a downward spiral since 2006, unless your a scenefag.

Just wondering if any of our European (or anyone) explosmers are going to the Jam In The Dam in March.
It features Dark Star Orchestra, Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, Perpetual Groove, Lotus, and Tea Leaf Green.

Assassin

01-28-2008, 1:33 PM

I'm probably cancelling the Obituary gig because they're going to Graspop 2008 and I don't know half of the new setlist anyway.

I'm probably seeing Volbeat instead on 14 February.

February 21 or something like that I'm going to see The Black Dahlia Murder.

In the Summer I'm going to Sounds of the Underground tour.

Yeah, unfortunately, I live down in GA, and none of the good jam bands come here (except for the Echo Project, which I couldn't go to).

And your concert is sold out, bet it'll be fun.

Anyone got suggestions for decent concerts coming up in Australia?

CheesePlease

02-04-2008, 12:00 AM

I just got wind of Pennywise, The Vandals and Bowling For Soup touring in April. I am so going to that. The only downside would be Sum 41, I hate that band.

I couldn't go to Badfish last weekend, I was hella fucking sick. But my girlfriend go to go, and she said it was great as expected. I DID however, get to see Molotov last night. The crowd was fucking crazy (and drunk). They played better songs from more different cd's than the last time I saw them (read: more stuff from Apocalypshit) and they finished it off with all the girls on stage dancing to Rastaman-Dita. Fucking Awesome.

Next weekend is Aiden with the Birthday Massacre amongst other bands. I'm not a fan of either of them, but my girlfriend fucking loves Aiden, although alot of my friends have been saying they are going for The Birthday Massacre. Although I'm not a big fan of Aiden, they do put on a good show, and I don't mind a good mosh.
