We'll never see anything like it again.
Just finished watching the Prodigy set. Blew me away, they were fantastic. Best gig I've seen for ages. Watching Pulp now, pretty good.
They are playing in Cardiff next April as part of their tour, I’m not sure if I was just losing it but I’m sure I saw tickets for £180 each which is a pisstake of massive proportion. Same tour in Birmingham they were £100. And it’s at the shithouse arenaQuote:

Think theres just hospitality tickets left for Cardiff. If you fancy a trip to Glasgow theres tickets available for £45.Quote:
