@hossfitt Great band

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@This_Feeling @publiceyeband @Gigslutz_ @DeadWaxDigbeth @DeafInstitute Absolute favourite track at the moment. There’s a bit in the second verse that might be the greatest 20 seconds of music released this year.

Here it is, my first ever gig review after multiple people asking me why I don’t start. No idea what I’m doing, but I’ve hopefully done ⁦@frankiedobson_⁩ justice for a great performance. Thanks to anybody who takes the time to read it! https://t.co/p4qjhzGZ3x

@CalvLyfeson All because of Diego fucking Forlan not knowing how to dress himself

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@_TheSlates @socialhumberst @MAPromotions2 That is an absolute line up and a half

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@tnwofficial_ Let’s go!!!

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@Pablo_Carrizo_ @EllisMoore1904 @AndrewCushin @socialhumberst @Sunbeam_Band Get in, I’ll see you in York

Track of the Day

Another release from this band that just feels so profound. Mesmerising live too, I could genuinely watch a 5 hour set and just be transfixed. Huge November tour coming up so no excuse not to see this live

First gig for a few weeks, and what a way to get back in the game. Seeing @qotsa for the first time in exactly 20 years and one day, and finally seeing @ViagraBoys who’ve been top of the must see list for years. Also great to see @shamebanduk smash it again 💥

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@22GrandPod If you think that’s bad, in 2009 I went to see Rise Against instead of Arctic Monkeys 🤦

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@Tony_Miles7 @TheRills Probably my favourite album of last year, met them with my kids in Leeds and they couldn’t of been nicer lads

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@NemoChappell One of the sets of the weekend!

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@scruffoftheneck Our favourite stage of the weekend by far! Especially @TheCheapThrills, @TheLilacsUk and @crystaltidesuk 🔥

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@sionafnowball @band_cruz Unbelievable!

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

Two years ago, me and Luke saw @band_cruz open the Allotment at YNot on the Thursday. Just two years later they’re closing the festival on the same stage, to a packed out tent 📈📈📈🔥

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

By far the coolest band of the weekend were @RedRumClub. Every song was class. Although, not sure they’re cooler than Poppy singing along to Vanilla in her @alrightuk T-shirt! 😂

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

Biggest regret of last year’s YNot was not seeing @TheCheapThrills, so made sure we were at the front this time round. All three of us agree that it’s the best set of the weekend so far (I think by some distance!)

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

Day one at @ynotfestival done. Highlights for us were @thefutureheads, @_TheSlates, @breezeisaband, and @musicthejuice 🔥🔥🔥

[JamesGoesToGigs @JamesGoesToGigs]

@_TheSlates @ynotfestival @This_Feeling Yes lads! We’ll see you there!
