Same here gwem - some ticket seller sent me an email at work today, it said zz top, and I was "HEY!"

But then it's at some place called wolverhampton, and the HORRENDOUS Wembley Arena.

Last and only time I've been there was to see some cr@ppy gig by some band on the, er, Afterburner Tour... I was so disappointed...

I saw them again 6 years or so ago at Brixton - they was fab then :D

Not goin to Wembley though :(

I was expecting this thread!! I'm stuck in two minds at the moment. Trying to not spend too much on gigs now due to the impending new arrival in my family - it's either Bonamassa in Southampton or ZZ Top at Wembley. My head is saying Rev Willie G at the moment.

Any other BKPers planning to go to Wembley? I agree that it is not a great venue. I saw Dylan there a few years ago and he, and the venue, were both very bad.

I'm seeing Bonamassa in Llandudno - got quite a few gigs on the agenda before the end of the year:

Bonamassa
The Answer
ZZ Top
Steel Panther
Reverend and the Makers
Buddy Whittington & Aynsley Lister

:D

I REALLY want to see ZZ Top live so I will probably make the travel to either Wolverhampton or Wembley. At the moment it's looking wike Wolverhapton as it's closer and cheaper. Saw B.B. King at Wembley earlier this year, the venue wasn't the best but BB was awesome!

Looking good mate. I've got a few lined up:

Andy Fairweather Low - not sure what to expect
Juliette Lewis - saw her supporting the Darkness years ago and thought she was pretty decent
Bonamassa/ZZ Top

That's about it so far - I'm more into smaller gigs at the moment (althought ZZ Top isn't so small!!)

Wolverhampton looked the better gig - I loathe Wembley.

Steel Panther are better seen as a club gig in my opinion- much better vibe
Mind you - I'd love to see ZZ Top at a club!

Hands up anyone who likes Wembley! :lol:

I've never met anyone, who's been there, who isn't somewhere between "it's not the best is it?" and "I friggin hate the friggin place..."

The latter for me.  Though I wouldn't be quite so polite.

Yeah, I've only been there once, and that was enough :lol:

I'm in the "I'd rather miss your tour than have to see you at Wembley" bracket - obviously not all punters are of that opinion, otherwise it wouldn't be worth anyone's while to play there!
