The set was a little bit short though, at just under 45 mins including encore.

You'd expect an hour at least (unless it's Napalm Death). Cheap tickets?

Yeah in fairness they were only £14, I definitely got my money's worth.

It's nice you're meeting up with him, but avoid any jokes and do not order pizza.

Just got tickets to see Danny Brown in May.

Really enjoyed it overall.

Had no expectations for UH or Saxon as only knew 1 song between them both (and Saxon didnt play that one!). Loved UH and have bought some of their stuff since as a result. Didn't really get into Saxon but most there did.

JP were brilliant. So glad I've seen them live now. Maybe having average expectations helped but they sounded tight and I knew 90% of their set list which helped. Rob is 72 yrs old now and still holds his high pitched notes and screams really well. Highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance

Cool. JP are one of those I'll need to see sooner rather than later I think.

Seen them in 2009. It's still my favourite concert. They killed it.

Want to see Johnny Marr last night, he was bloody fantastic.

Just awesome watching an amazing guitarist do his thing, let alone that thing being some of the best songs ever. Collecting my guitar heroes like infinity stones.

This was the exact reason I chose to go see them. One of my better decisions in life for sure

Going to see Deerhoof in August

Managed to nab Mitski tickets after being on the waitlist for months!

Not only that, but she's being supported by Miya Folick, and I've got tickets for her solo gig the following night! strawberry float yeah double Miya

The world's biggest ever gig/concert took place on Copacabana beach in Rio last week by Madonna the queen of pop! A world record breaker! 1.6 million people attended. Perfect show to close of her 80 date world tour! This being the 81st show which was free for anyone to attend. I myself went to see this twice at the o2 last year.


The opening number is just EPIC!

I too enjoy those intimate gigs attended by 1,599,999 other die hard fans, you really feel like you can collectively connect with the artist on a personal level.

My sprog saw her at The Civic this week and said the crowd was lame as strawberry float. All seating, even on the floor. I saw her supporting Harry Style and enjoyed her.
Especially the one about her heart shaped washing machine.

I think they all just feel the energy and can see her on big screens all along the beach. Was a great show anyway well over 2 hours long none stop. With this being a celebration tour it was all her greatest hits from the beginning to present. A really good show overall and very high production value as expected from Madonna.
She was going to headline Glastonbury this year but they couldn't afford to pay for her stage to be setup and her high fee. Well done to the Brazilian government and sponsors for putting up this show.

Madonna is nothing compared to Rod Stewart.

Rod Stewart's 1994 New Year's Eve Concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro is the biggest concert in history. It had 4.2 million people and was free. The legendary Rod Stewart brought the roof down through his performance. The concert holds the top spot in the Guinness Book of Records.

Fair do to Rod Stewart but that was back in 1994 when people went out more. I think Madonna's record in 2024 is definitely breaking world records again and at her current stage of her career that's incredible. Rightly so as the Queen of Pop!
