Concerts planned for 2026

Ooh…Flaming Lips at Somerset House (in London for Martinzero) on Sat, 25 July. And it’s my day off.

Done deal if I can get tickets ( not on sale till next week ).

I’m seeing the Lips the Saturday before that at Dreamland in Margate. Support from the Beta Band so should be a good night

Yep!

Yeah I wondered about Margate, but turns out it’s my work weekend. So Somerset has to do!

The Lips are amazing if you haven’t seen them before

So far I have:

Handsome Family in May

Michael Shannon in September (With his REM covers band)

Both at the Brudenell in Leeds

They certainly are. This will be our third time. The only band I see more is Ese and The Vooduu People, but they’ve become friends and are local to us so that’s inevitable.

I like Handsome Family too. I’ll have to look that gig up. Could maybe arrange time in Leeds (my wife has family there).

I didn’t know anything about this, seems an intriguing concert, so drumming up interest for the Manchester date.

Three on my list already for 2026.

Voivod, likely Southampton in June, Surfragettes, Brighton, September

The Darts (US), tbc but Nov or Dec I believe.

I do have very varied tastes!

Remi Harris in June….

They toured a year or so back doing Murmur. This time it’s Life’s Rich Pageant.

They played Athens the other night and had 2 actual REM members on stage.
