And what was it like being a member of The Cribs?

Radiohead three times on the Hail to the Thief tour (four, if you include the small venues tour before the album came out). It was mainly an excuse to see friends who were spread across the country at different universities.

Aberdeen was by far the best performance - possibly one of my Top 5 gigs. I met my partner a few years later - She’d been at the same gig and managed to get Ed O’Brien’s setlist, which is pretty cool.

I’ve seen plenty of bands more than once on the same tour. The one that stands out is Sufjan Stevens who I saw twice on consecutive nights at the Festival Hall for both the Age of Adz and Carrie and Lowell tours. No regrets.

Seen heaps of Australian (eastern states) bands two and even three times during their trips to Perth.

Saw Stone Roses twice when they came to Perth more than 20 years ago.

I also saw NMH three times on that tour, Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Almost didn’t go to the Edinburgh one as I thought it might be overkill, but it was absolutely amazing. Still think the Belfast one was best, as it was first and I was right at the front.

I was right at the front too, probably saw you for all I know :smiley:
All the shows were bloody great.
Honestly if I’d had loads of cash and time off work, I’d have just toured with them essentially.

#36

Yeah, they were some amazing shows. Never thought I’d see them so to see them three times was unbelievable.

That was my thinking. Grabbed Manchester thinking it’d be my only chance.
When Dublin came up thought it would be the only Irish show and it went in minutes, then when Belfast was announced I could hardly believe it.
Fantastic times.

Belfast was great, smaller venue than most of the tour from what I remember. I was a bit further back.

Originally had a ticket for Dublin and considered going to both but just sold that one in the end up

All of mine were within a few days of each other - still great setlist variety, but I wish I had made that final tour / show.

Saw the National in the Roundhouse and the Ally Pally on the Trouble will find me tour.

I’m not a National fan any more, that second show was like watching paint dry :frowning:

I once saw Dodgy warm up for Phoenix Festival, which they played twice then saw then in Portsmouth just after. I think. That’s too much Dodgy.

I also Saw Mogwai I think, six times, on tour, albeit that straddled a tour proper, and some festivals I think.

(I’ve just done some due diligence on the Mogwai part of this post and it is sort of true - first two were sort of part of a tour, then next three def part of a tour, then last one some months later - so sort of bullshit from Huntspill there)

Saw titus andronicus three times on the monitor tour as I’d just finished uni and it felt like a good way to occupy myself.

Los campesinos various times before their debut and during the first three albums.

Saw 65daysofstatic 5 times on the 2010 tour with Josh T Pearson supporting. Did Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Birmingham in 5 days and then went to the London date later on. Was an absolute blast and remember Nottingham being the best out of all of them as I was right at the front for it. Remembered not being much into Josh on the first night or two, but had really gotten into him by the end. Lethal Bizzle supporting on the London date was awesome too.

only time was a couple of years back when I saw Spoon 3 times on the same tour - more down to the staggered announcement of dates than anything (bought a ticket for a bigger london show, then someone on here offered me tickets to the bonus 100 club show, then they announced a Brighton date). 100% no regrets though

Used to catch R* * n A * * * s 3 or 4 times on each of his tours, but mostly during the Cardinals years as his setists became pretty stagnant from the self titled album onwards.

Will be seeing Pearl Jam 4 times between March and July this year.
