A guest for The Prodigy · Thu, 26 Nov 2015
Amazing night with brilliant atmosphere. Prodigy never disappoint!
A guest for One Direction · Sun, 25 Oct 2015
Absolutely Amazing :)
TTowers was there for Joe Bonamassa · Wed, 21 Oct 2015
Can't fault the playing, but I came away disappointed. I thought he a was too self indulgent and turned recognisable songs into noodling. I've seen Joe before and he was much better last time. Even John Henry became unrecognisable. Sorry.

just witnessed an amazing performance by Joe last night at the arena, he had that guitar talking! his band were so tight, a wonderful night and can't wait to see him again.
A guest for Take That · Tue, 19 May 2015
Take That are back stronger and better than ever! 3 is the new 5! So slick and polished!
A guest for Ben Howard · Sat, 25 Apr 2015
It was all about the music not crowd pleasing. Excellent band and stage show. Wondered how he would perform in the big arena and did not disappoint.
A guest for Spandau Ballet · Sun, 15 Mar 2015
What an amazing show. Last saw Spandau Ballet back in the 80's and they were just as good this time round if not better. Can't wait to see them again. Only disappointment was that I had purchased a raffle ticket as they were supporting some charity and this wasn't mentioned on the night. Did they forget? The prize was to have your photograph taken with the band together with a signed photograph.
A guest for André Rieu · Sun, 14 Dec 2014
a perfect evening wonderful family entertainment its a must do every year for our family!
A guest for The Who · Tue, 09 Dec 2014
The Who were outstanding. Great set list as you would expect, no My Generation though. The only thing is that the Metro Arena is a terrible venue for quality of sound and atmosphere.
