Show a little faith there's magic in the night
In order to avoid the queuing debacle from Friday’s show and that long and winding GA queue, that snaked around the stadium, we decided on a new strategy for the second show.

We arrived in Barcelona on Friday April 28, the day of the first show, at around 1pm. After leaving our bags in the hotel, we had some slices of pizza and a beer before heading to Stadio Olímpico.

The Rolling Stones are celebrating 60 “special years” together with live dates across Europe this summer. My boyfriend and I decided to catch up with them in Munich. When #travellingformusic the gem is that you get to travel (obviously) and see, not only great bands performing their music live, but also beautiful cities around the... Continue Reading →
I discovered Larkin Poe quite recently through YouTube where they, during lockdown, posted fantastic covers of classic rock songs (check out their YouTube account!) and that made me want to see them live. Larkin Poe, are the sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell backed up by Tarka Layman on bass and keys, and Kevin McGowan on... Continue Reading →
