August 2008 - Ankkarock festival (Poets Of The Fall, Von Hertzen Brothers, HIM,...) - Korso


That´s all. I hope this year will be better

^ at first glance I'd only read "April" "Poets of the Fall" and "Berlin": I almost jumped on the chair because I thought it was April 2009

my gigs of 2008 have been.. not as many as I'd have wished. But very good ones.
Main ones:
July 9th: The Raconteurs *-*
December 31st (which means it's also been the first of 2009 then): Jovanotti


for 2009... nothing planned yet.
I hope I'll be able to go to see Negrita (Italian rock band) on February 13th, but none of my friends seem interested. Which is weird, because all of them like this band, all of them like live music, the ticket is cheap enough, and it's even very near our town...
sometimes I don't understand them, really...

I don't even know which gigs I visited in 2008
a LOT

My gigs of 2008 weren't that many, but still great ones

16/02 Beatsteaks @ Amsterdam the best concert I have ever been to without any doubt!
12/10 Disco Ensemble @ Amsterdam
02/11 The Subways @ Amsterdam
07/12 Fiction Plane @ Amsterdam
and then
01/05 Dauwpop festival with the Beatsteaks, Volbeat, Alain Clark, some stupid dutch singers, Voicst, Saybia, Madrugada etc.
05/05 Liberation festival with Juliette & the Licks, Electric Eel Shock & Alphabeat.


Planned for 2009:
04/04 Eskimo Joe probably

Actually that's only it till now O.o I really hope some more nice concerts will be announced! And I'm really, really, really hoping for Poets of the Fall of course! As well I'd like to see Mando Diao but they already announced tourdates and that's all about Germany
Well yes and except that there are so many other bands I'd like to see one time, so I'm sure there will be more

In 2008 I was at my first and at the moment only gig in my life
One nearly unknown former slovak punk band called "Ine Kafe"

I would like to go on Depeche Mode in June 2009 in Bratislava, but it's too expensive for a student like me...80 € I like their style but I love only a few songs and eighty euro is just too much

another dutchie

paging the Mods: Please change the titel of this thread to "Your gigs 2009" - thank you.

I've done that ...

so till now, there is just the Rock Am Ring 2009 Festival on my list
but hey, that will be the best "concert" anyway

6.2.2009 Frostbite - Lahti
4.4.2009 Mokoma - Lahti

Emergency Gates, Caliban, Eluveitie and Kreator are in a bit more than 2 weeks and then probably Tuska and/or Ankkarock. Masters of Rock is also possible, but so far I don't like the line-up.

2.3.2009 PMMP - Ylläs

Maybe some other artists too if me and my sister are not too tired and if there's an artist good enough.

Thanks for the edit

2008:
17/02 - Within Temptation - Moscow
01/03 - Tristania - Moscow
23/04 - Poets Of The Fall - Moscow
03/12 - LoveX - Moscow
