Thanks Jules, I don't think I can beat bang on the front row scaffolding at the Loch Lomond Rock festival, where Mondays was sung in Europe for the first time. Now, that was a weekend I have never forgotten. The Fri was the last day of school and I had left, drawing out all of the money in my post office savings account and blowing the lot - £80 lol. Anyhow, I am sure someone, a group of individuals has those 'missing' tickets and they won't be going... Yes, I knew you were the other person I mentioned... The other great venue in London was the Rainbow, I think Mean Fiddler had that, my uncle in law James Prior, but it's gone now - a church I think, as you can still see the building from the railway. Great Xmas Turkeys gig there in 78 - I digress - gl to those who got good tickets - enjoy a great band
I was online the second past 10 for Hammersmith, someone had already had row after row out of the allocation. I'd say at least the first 6 rows went to profiteers. I know one other very keen fan who was allocated in row G yet was online the second it opened. It's sad to think what has happened there. I wd not been keen to watch from the back so won't see you there. I had a look at the Corn Exchange, but that was also oddly cleaned out. For those who are going - enjoy...
Please come to Ireland. Would make 2025 very special
Sheffield city hall september cant wait. Just a shame its an all seater stadium. The wife gets to see why the rats are by far my favourite band. Oh and of course she gets to hear mondays sung in tune for a change
No Rats on Roger Daltry gig at the moment.
Friday 1 August - Roger Daltrey & Special Guests 2025 - Audley End
Line-up: The Stranglers, The Boomtown Rats, Roger Daltrey
It’s where The Rats are at their best.Hard,raw,loud and energetic.I am so looking forward to seeing them and meeting so many friends again.
Let’s make The Legend proud that his rats are still “doing it”.
So looking forward to this .There is so much to look forward next year.
Please add some dates for South Wales or Brighton!
Got to better than festival shows.! Looking forward to seeing as many as possible.
I'll be at York. Would love London, as that would be extra special, but it's perhaps too far.
This tour has long been overdue.
Being a bit further away than most others here, I am Interested in Aberdeen and Glasgow, York and Gateshead. I would also like to go to London, which will be special.
I'm really looking foreward to this. Getting out live is got to be the best!
