The music IS the best of me

In the space of a week the entire music section of my life got thrown into complete happiness. There were a few rumours in the weeks leading up to Big Concert's 'big' annoucement that U2 were coming to our shores in February next year but on Monday 18 October is was officially announced, they were coming.

Scurrying on U2.com to register to mad back and forth emails between friends as to how many tickets and who is booking, we are this close to booking our places on that field in Cape Town stadium. My boss went one step further and upgraded her account to buy the tickets during the presales for the club members and then continued to chirp

Boss: "I'm the one who's been around long enough to enjoy their whole career. Not you"

Me: True

But still, I'm most excited. Tickets start from around R161 - R2600. Choose your poison at a Computicket.

It's Not Over

Chris Daughtry is here next week and is playing at Grand West Arena to what I suspect will be a packed out crowd. My friends and I have rocked out to his music in the car, on the phone, on BBM and most likely on email.

There will most likely be dressing up and acting like 16 year olds which is pretty close to our mental age but it's simply going to rock and be an awesome gig


Come Here Boy

Imogen Heap is coming to SA! I was happily living on a music high until I opened my Tweetdeck application on my iPhone and low and behold Talya Goldberg breaks even more bank breaking news

@TalyaGoldberg: "Imogen Heap here in February. Zomg." 

Some screaming. Some WTFs later. I replied back needing to know the details

@TalyaGoldberg:  "Its true! Imogen Heap concert at Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre in CT on 5 Feb! She better sing Frou Frou.."

Shit. Whatever she sings. Frou Frou - my favorite of her work - to I Megaphone or Speak for Yourself, I simply do not care. Imogen Heap is going to be playing at Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre on 4 & 5 Feb 2011

Why Go?

Then there is Faithless. A dance act that has been around since I was a lighty growing up providing some of the most popular dance tunes that are still pumped to these awesome days. Faithless are at Grand West Arena on Friday 4 Feb 2011 and tickets also range from R395 upwards from Computicket - again.

Now all Robyn needs is Sarah McLachlan and Florence and the Machine and I'll be the happiest chick in the planet.

Anyone going to any shows?
