What gigs are people excited about going to post lockdown? I went to see Gruff Rhys in Islington Assembly Halls last night, fab gig. He played solo, did an old SFA song and some tracks from his new album (all sounded good to me). The venue did a good job of keeping it covid safe; we could order drinks via an app, so didn't have to queue at bar, venue was all seated and audience all looked like they were glad to be seeing live music with an audience.

the only gig I have on the horizon is Björk in August, it has already been postponed 4 times so hoping this date will stand

@Petur I hope it will go ahead too. By coincidence I was listening to old Bjork stuff the other day for first time in many years and enjoyed very much (first saw her in '93, and maybe 3-4 times since - made me pretty nostalgic to hear those songs again!) The world seems to be going to shit these days though, who can say if things will ever return to how we once knew? Makes me sad to be honest. The people born into this era have their (post internet/social media) world, just as I had mine (80s/90s kid, before the world changed). I wish them best of luck, but can't help feeling the future seems so less inspiring than those days were. I'm sure every generation's parents felt the same, but something feels different this time. I pray I'm wrong, even if I'm an atheist :D

@hobobachang haha yeah, it seems that with restrictions being eased this summer that it might actually take place finally. I have not booked anything else yet (even for next year), since the future seems so uncertain the world has been gong to hell since the beginning of time, so nothing new there ... but yeah, the future isn't as bright now as it seemed back in the 90s
