Bands you had tickets to see and didn't

I was at the old Phoenix festival in 1995, and missed Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Paul Weller. 

Never regretted it once.

Loads at festivals 

had tickets to the last white stripes tour but they broke up. Gutted about that one as I never saw them live. 
 

was gutted for a long time about giving away lcd soundsystem tickets but then they reformed and I’ve seen them twice now. Brilliant.

Not sure if it counts, but I had tickets to Michael Jackson's show for 2 weeks after he died. That would have been ace.

 

That would have been a fvcking miracle, m7.

Charlatans at Brixton Academy a while back just before Christmas (flu-ridden - apparently it was a great gig ☹️).

Simple Minds, Pretenders and KT Tunstall  at Colchester Castle in 2018 - biblical rain precluded attendance with kids.

Dinosaur Jr and Belle & Sebastian at Reading Festival in 2008 - got held up dealing with stupid points on pre-IPO research in the office on the Friday.
 

Thanks, FBD, for that and the subsequent 2-hour conference call conducted from the campsite there on the Bank Holiday Sunday morning because the US partner “literally couldn’t do any other time”. Khunts.
