I’ve been really lucky to see almost all of my bucket list bands at ghis point. The only one I can think of off the top of my head right now is The Promise Ring. I would have loved to see The Monkees when Davy was still alive, and I didn’t get a chance to see them as a group after because it was so sad to me. Now that Peter is dead I’m even more upset that I never got to go see the three or him solo.
I was suppose to go to Riot Fest the year The Cure played but something came up and I couldn't make it. And I should see The Pixies next month with Weezer.
The Strokes (Likely) Oasis (Probably not) Libertines (Doubtful) That said, I'm not the type to travel for a show, so I don't really care all that much haha.
Since I originally posted this, I’ve checked The Rolling Stones, Creed, David Gilmour, Hans Zimmer, Jack White, Olivia Rodrigo, The Who, Lady Gaga, Oasis, and The Beaches off my bucket list. Here are who I currently have left, along with everyone I have seen via Concert Archives. Hayley Williams - Have tickets for 5/13/26 No Doubt - Have tickets for 5/15/26 CONFIDENT Dewey Cox & The Hard Walkers Dua Lipa Lana Del Rey HOPEFUL Bo Burnham Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross MAYBE SOMEDAY Better Oblivion Community Center Julien Baker & TORRES Rihanna PIPE DREAM Box Car Racer Fleetwood Mac w/ Lindsey Buckingham The Horrible Crowes Nirvana (Any Version w/ Krist, Dave, and Pat) Talking Heads The White Stripes Latest Edit: 11/14/25
For the longest time one of my answers to this question was Botch and I have a ticket to see them in October. I also saw Saetia last fall which always was a "they would be awesome to see but it will never happen." The other band would be The Blood Brothers.
Wow, it’s wild how many of these I’ve seen since posting this. I guess this is the updated list (with bands I’ve seen removed. Also removed Marilyn Manson because, well, I don’t think I wanna see him anymore…) System Of A Down Slipknot Pearl Jam Queens Of The Stone Age Alice In Chains (I have tix for them this fall) Guided By Voices Liam Gallagher (I saw Noel in June)
The Receiving End Of Sirens - had tickets for their 2020 run, then covid ruined that Gatsby’s American Dream Sullivan The Chariot Dead Poetic The Movielife AFI Dethklok Secret and Whisper Iron and Wine
damn that list is 4 years old now lmao, but here's the fresh update: Acceptance The Rolling Stones Opeth Meshuggah (have tickets) Moving Mountains Oasis () OutKast Sufjan Stevens Bon Iver Taylor Swift
I just scratched off The Smashing Pumpkins from my list last night. Hope you had a great experience with the OG lineup too since they were on your original list. And yeah, totally understand about Manson after everything that has come out about him.
I did! I saw them last fall with Jane’s Addiction and it was amazing! They were tight, but I do think Jane’s blew them out of the water. One of the best live sets I’ve ever seen. I wish I could’ve seen them on this current tour. STP was playing my date and SP’s setlist looked incredible, but I was already attending Beck that night so I couldn’t go. Oh well. Next time! Hope you had a blast!
That’s awesome! When I missed the tour you went to last year just due to an insane amount of shows in 2022, I regretted it. Funny when you go to see one and then the co-headliner blows that band away. I’ve been there before. Was hoping for STP on my date since I’ve seen Interpol before, but SP more than made up for it. I did not expect Corgan to be so relaxed and his banter with James was great. Very tight setlist and they sounded better than I expected too. But hey, Beck isn’t a bad substitute!

REM are my number 1 bucket list. I'm pretty sure I didn't get tickets for a show they played in Scotland as I was going to Fall Out Boy in London on the same night, which ended up being cancelled anyway. Something like that in 05/06.

Had been listening to RATM for about 22 years. They announced their first headline show in Scotland for the first time since the 90s here last year. Seemed too go to be true and of course it was cancelled and I doubt it'll ever be on the cards again.
I’ve crossed a few more off since this. Now my list is: System Of A Down Slipknot Queens Of The Stone Age Guided By Voices (I actually could’ve seen them over the weekend, but I decided not to at the last minute and now I’m regretting it…) Also, I got tickets for Oasis, so I’m removing Liam Gallagher from my list lol. What a weird sentence to write
I feel lucky that i've seen most of my favorite bands live. Bands/ artists I haven't seen yet Radiohead Paul mccartney Eminem Box car racer Angels and airwaves Kendrick lamar Run the jewels Coldplay Rancid Metallica Taylor swift Bands I would love to see again: Thrice (I probably will see them when they come around until the bitter end) ETID The dillinger escape plan (greg singing) Moving mountains Blink 182 Sigur ros Bruno mars Deftones Mcr Slipknot Soad Muse Avenged sevenfold.
