Not a single one thus far, and am not really that bothered as I'm going to be all over the place this year.

[Popmartijn]

Yes, records are great too. Hearing that music wherever and whenever you want, always in the same quality. But live music can have that magical extra you cannot find on a record.

So which artists are you seeing live in 2009? List them here!

For the moment I have two concerts planned:
7 March: Zita Swoon, Rotterdamse Schouwburg, Rotterdam (so a seated theater concert)
11 April: Bob Dylan, Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam

Small update. I have tickets to three concerts:
14 February: Roosbeef, Ekko, Utrecht
7 March: Zita Swoon, Rotterdamse Schouwburg, Rotterdam (so a seated theater concert)
11 April: Bob Dylan, Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam

 

[MadForIt]

[IWasBored]

dropkick murphys 3/9 hartford, CT
flogging molly 3/10 boston, MA
street dogs/swingin utters 3/11 providence, RI
big bad bollocks 3/14 northampton, MA
the pogues 3/21 boston, MA
glasvegas 3/31 boston, MA

march will be an awesome month (the 9th, 10th, and 11th particularly), but i'm damned if i can find anyone coming anywhere in new england i'd go see between then and now. do i want to go see the english beat? what exactly is the band that's passing for them these days anyhow?

 

[martha]

God No.

My niece saw them a while back and it's like one or two guys and a bunch of fill-ins.

 

[u2popmofo]

One of my friends went to what was supposed to be an English Beat show a few years back, and said there was only one original band member there, and he was refusing to play any English Beat songs, just whatever solo or "new band" stuff he'd recently created, even though they DID bill the show as being "English Beat". He was horrified by it all, ended up completely hating the band for quite a while.

 

[Saracene]

V Festival - 4 April

I was in two minds about it but since I'm skipping Big Day Out this year and Elbow are playing, I've decided to go after all.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Both Stars and Delta Spirit will be playing here next month, so I'll probably go check those shows out, since the weather is lousy and I can't travel for shows the way I do the rest of the year.

 

[Elvis Presley]

I'll see several shows between now and March, but I am most excited for SXSW

yeah, that will definitely be a no then. i was leaning toward no just based on the fact that the show is in providence and i can't stand going to shows in rhode island, but now i'm sold on it.

plus i found a shitload of local/regional-ish new england bands that aren't mark lind (dare i say i'm finally getting pretty burnt out on his various bands) playing in various locations within reasonable driving distance, something of which is the same night as that show. so i know what i'm doing instead.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Add to my list a Jeff Tweedy solo show, either Feb. 13 or 14 when I'm in Chicago
