O2 Apollo Manchester reviews by real event-goers

Caribou ftw

Expensive drinks, but it is the Apollo after all... Great night though!

Poor drummer got hit with cup!

This was my second time watching MGMT, and obviously this tour focusing on their album 'Congratulations'. Although I don't think this album is as good as their first, I still wanted to show my support to the band. The guitarist and drummer totally stole the show, and gave their all. I do feel they still have so much to give, and preferred the first time I saw them.

Although their drummer may have been slightly put off towards the end of set as someone threw a cup of urine at him. He was not best pleased and proceeded to show the fan his finger! The band members only noticed as they started playing their hit Kids and were forced to ask the crowd: 'Where's Will gone?'

They were forced to play the last song of their set, Congratulations, without percussion.

A good gig, glad I went, but would probably not pay to watch them again as I've seen them twice now and haven't been totally blown away by them.

Crowded house - Finntastic!

Great performance, great band. 2 hours of classic songs and new material. Highlights had to be a rushed intro version of Pineapple Head, Distant Sun, A rocky It's Only Natural and Johnny Marr cameo!

Terrific!

Science Tour

Ricky Gervais' fourth stand up show trades on that familiar persona - money and fame - so important to Gervais. Despite being titled "Science" there's actually very little science to go on except to say that Gervais has perfected the art of stand up in reasonably a short space of time.
Most of the jokes revolve around his showbiz life, but the highlights of the set involve a deconstruction of "Noah's Ark" as told from a child's book, and a final joke that will shock as much as make you roar with laughter.
