Which artists are you seeing in 2009?

So far I booked tickets for:

Leonard Cohen - January
Robert Flack - February
Angelique Kidjo - April
Lucinda Williams - April

I just completed as well my subscription for the Sydney Symphony with 8 performances of my choosing over the full year 2009.

AC/DC - not sure when, a friend booked those.
Porcupine Tree - October

Hoping Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon/Red House Painters) gets over here some time next year, maybe 'April'!

Van Der Graff Generator are doing some dates, but none announced in the UK for 2009 so far, but I hope there will be some, or maybe a Hammill solo.

BigH47.
Enjoy the Jean Michel Jarre, I saw an early part of that tour this year, and it was superb, the sound of those analogue synths and the P.A. he was using was one of the richest aural live experiences I have had.

Hi Jamie it was SWMBOs choice more than mine but I've always enjoyed his concerts on video.

Oliver - Jane and I went to see David Byrne last time he was in Sydney in Newtown. It was a show we went to not knowing what to really expect. We came out of the show on a real high. He was just so superb live - so inventive and imaginative. A really good night out.

He's coming in early February to the Opera House, will ponder over it for a while.

Good answer Steve! I saw them a couple of years back in Sydney and it was a very good show apart of the ignorant Aussies behind me who yabbered all the way through it. Enjoy.
