    New Order - Brussels was the standout for me, with a notable mention to Ride in Workmans. Fontaines and Gruff Rhys over the next week are both bound to feature in my gigs of the year though.

    Manics in The Olympia because they played some very rarely heard stuff from the entire back catalogue.
