    Busy year for it:

    1 – Bjork: Cornucopia (3 Arena, Dublin)
    2 – Sons of Kemet (Cosby Stage, Electric Picnic)
    3 - The Cure (Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival)
    4 – Patti Smith (Main Stage, All Together Now Festival)
    5 – Kamasi Washington (Olympia Theatre, Dublin)
    6 – Lamb (Body & Soul Stage, Electric Picnic)
    7 – New Order (Trinity College, Dublin)
    8 – Massive Attack (3 Arena, Dublin)
    9 – The Comet Is Coming (West Holts, Glastonbury Festival)
    10 – The Streets (Electric Arena, Electric Picnic)

    I think the recent Bjork gig is probably the best show I have ever witnessed, will be hard to top.

    I was there, mental without being aggressive. I got clattered and battered..
    Brilliant from the 1st note...
    Big difference (crazy crowd wise) from the previous year, and way better than ATN Festival....
    One of my best gigs of the year..
    I had posted previously, before Mike The Pies..

    I love Listowel...

    Garbage or Ghost for myself. Garbage in particular was fantastic, such a simple show but more than delivered on each song. Ghost was a massive show, but what a show!

    Also the Manics performing This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours was also a special evening

    In fairness to Liam, he puts on a good show & for a man who is nearly 50 and the way he sings it cant be easy. He has had an incredible comeback

    Special mention to Dirty Harry a Blondie tribute act I saw in Dundee last Sunday, the lead singer being from New York made all the more authentic looking like an 1980s Debbie Harry. I hope they turn up on the Salty Dog stage at Electric Picnic.

    Anybody who looks like a 1980's Debbie Harry is welcome at the Salty Dog.
