Absolute Radio have been in touch and would love our forum to be involved in this:

 

Here is the low down 

 

This summer, Absolute Radio’s going to be at gigs and festivals across the UK, and after the success of Rock-Off we want to get forums involved.  We’re running a series of competitions called “Live Stories” where your gig and festival experiences could win you tickets to a live event – the overall winning forum gets to pick the line-up for a virtual festival to be broadcast on Absolute Radio!

It was great having the Keane forum involved in Rock-Off, and we’d love it if you could take part in Live Stories.  Looking through the posts on the live section of the forum, it’s obvious that your members are passionate about live music and Keane live, and I thought you’d all have some amazing stories to share.

How will it work?

We’re asking forums to discuss their live experiences and submit their four best stories to http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/music/live/stories/.  These could be anything connected to live music; the time you watched a David Bowie gig from backstage, or got lost at Glastonbury and discovered Tibetan throat singing for example.

From the 3rd August onwards we’ll be holding four competitions, each lasting a week.  During this time, the best live stories be discussed on-air on Absolute Radio and the public will vote for their favourites.  The person whose story wins will get a pair of tickets to a live event (like Reading or V Festival).

At the end of the summer, each forum with a winning story will go into a final for the chance to create a virtual festival, picking two hours’ worth of live tracks to be played as an Absolute Radio show.

Entries are now open, and there's still plenty of time to enter.  For more information check out http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/music/live/stories/.

 

This is open to all sections of this Forum, all fans wide and far! Please post this in your section!

lol so could you. and Annie.
BUT OMG someone in my film class like. Saw the band Chicago 14 times last year and 10 this year. Nevermind all the other apparent times she said. I'm like, she wins for crazy.



I could have talked about getting harassed by old communists with missing teeth at Street Scene but that was only Saturday.
but yeah no.
But that was the only interesting thing that happened to me at a show.
..
besides meeting people, obviously.
