Oh dear. If I had anything better to do I wouldn't this but I'd a tad bored at the minute anyway. Brace for a Keith-esque list, embarassingly starting with The Corrs supporting Mike Oldfield. I justify this by being 14 at most, it being free, being dragged by parents, and it being on a beach in Northern Spain.

On to business.

Coldplay (in a pub, supporting Terris, who were shit)

Embrace x 4 (various supports including Snow Patrol and Alfie)

In the past ten years I've been to more than a dozen festivals and at least a hundred club gigs. I don't know if it's feasible to list all the bands I've seen. Actually, I doubt I could even remember half of them, but it's mostly hard rock and heavy metal.

Right, so it's impossible to make a complete list, but it's Friday night, the old lady went to bed early (mad at me for something I did this morning) and I'm drunk, so I decided to try. And at least you'll see a good portion of the bands I've seen.
