Title: Did anyone see Bloc Party & Foals at Olympia last night? (or saturday night)

Both shows were sold out, i've only ever been to metal/rock gigs and festivals before, was my first indie gig and it was amazing. Both bands put on an epic show, sound levels were perfect, the crowd was buzzing and singing to every word. I expected Olympia to be smaller, but it's nearly as big as Wembley Arena!

The only thing i can fault is the beer choice for Olympia, Carlsberg (3.8% and foul tasting) and Aspall cider (wtf is that, whatever it is it tastes rank), sort it out Olympia!
