I was really hyped to see Teenage Wrist last year, but the “headliner” of their tour - a far less notable act, in my opinion - got sick or something and the whole tour got cancelled. Shame. I’d have paid double to just see a longer set of Teenage Wrist without the headliner.

In Australia, we’re lucky to get anyone foreign visiting our shores. Pearl Jam did come out last year, but nosebleed tickets were >$360 each, so that was a hard “nope”.

But there’s almost any price that my wife and I would pay to see Angels and Airwaves.

David Bowie cause you know he’s dead.

Smashing Pumpkins

My beloved

there’s a Mongolian black death metal band out there that I thought would be really cool to see; they actually went on a world tour and played about 10 miles from me (in the US) but I didn’t go.

I should have gone. :(

I’m from south america, so my chances are already slim, but I’ve been lucky to have watched The Living Tombstone and My Chemical Romace live, which are some of my favorite bands.

Most of the solo artists I like are very niche, or not big enough for a worldwide tour, so I know it’s gona take years for me to be able to see Ren, Rio Romeo, Will Wood or Femtanyl live.

Riverside. Truckfighters. Witchcraft. Porcupine tree.

They dont come to the US because we have awful music taste.

Majority of bands. In my old state of VT, no big band would ever waste time there and I was limited as to how far I could travel when they reach other states like Mass or New York.

And where I currently live, yeah there will sometimes be some bands/groups I wouldn’t mind seeing, but I’m still locked out from seeing most of them.

Literally any of them. In the southeast it feels like there’s D.C. and Atlanta, but nobody really stops in between. Can’t blame them though.

I’m lucky in that I’ve seen a majority of bands I want to see live (feasibly). There are a few exceptions, but they aren’t bands that I feel like I am incomplete without having witnessed.

Consider the Source would be one https://considerthesourcemusic.bandcamp.com/track/you-won-a-goat

I had behold the arctopus as a white whale since I found out about them around 2007 and they were visiting london while I was away from there. “Yankee bands come by all the time, I’ll see them next tour” I said. Next tour was in 2013, they were only touring the US. I JUST got out of my overdraft. “I can’t afford to at this time I said”. Next tour was 2018, and 4 dates in Northeast USA.

I saw them. In case you aren’t aware, BTA is an instrumental power trio playing heavily counterpoint based tech death. The guitar player was sick.

I am considering it a win that I got to see Colin Marston at least.

I would have liked to have seen Estradasphere, but the band split up. I saw some of their members as part of Secret Chiefs 3, that’s good enough for me.

I found out about Zu by seeing them live, so that worked out pretty good.

I’ve always wished I could see S3RL live but there’s no chance of a niche rave dj from Australia doing a show in the UK, even less of a chance doing one anywhere I could make it to too.

I did manage to see Propagandhi back in 2009ish, and it was maybe the best damn show I’ve ever been to.

Then they didn’t come back for over a decade. And that show got canceled because the frontman got covid the night before.

Then they were supposed to pay a festival near here, but they announced right before that they were never going to tour America again because of all the fascist bullshit.

Rammstein, Scooter, Magdalena Bay, Poppy, Red Vox are what immediately come to mind.

Some bucket list artists have shown up here. I did get to see Doug Stanhope, Days N’ Daze, In This Moment, and Jinjer. Edit: Slipknot too!

Alberta does get some attention but there’s a lot of big gaps in certain genres. Rammstein did play here, I just fucking found out after the fact of course 😢. Back in 2011.

Motorhead :(

Wintergatan would probably be among the only ones I’d be interested in going to see.
