Bucket list bands/musicians Tour • Page 2

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.

 

The Cure
Peter Hook
Blaqk Audio
Dreamcar
The Pixies

 

Riot Fest gave me 3 of these 5, it is truly the bucket list dream festival.

 

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 fucking national.

 

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.

 

AIC, Foo Fighters, RHCP

 

Since I originally posted this, I’ve checked The Rolling Stones, Creed, and David Gilmour off my bucket list. Here are who I currently have left in order of most realistic to least realistic, along with everyone I have seen via Concert Archives.

Hans Zimmer - Have tickets for 2/6/25
Jack White - Have tickets for 2/11/25
Oasis - Have tickets for 9/1/25

CURRENTLY ACTIVE
Hayley Williams - Had tickets in 2020, but you know what happened. Saw Hayley perform "Crystal Clear" during the latest Paramore tour, but she’s now openly talking about touring solo in 2025.
Lana Del Rey
Bo Burnham
No Doubt - Seems like if a reunion tour was going to happen anytime soon it would have been announced post-Coachella. Their success there does still inspire hope for 2025/2026 once Gwen has completed her album cycle for Bouquet.
The Who

CURRENTLY INACTIVE
Better Oblivion Community Center
The White Stripes
Talking Heads - Saw David Byrne as a surprise guest for Maggie Rogers, and Stop Making Sense in IMAX twice. As long as they continue to be in touch post-promoting Stop Making Sense, it seems like there is still a chance.
Fleetwood Mac w/ Lindsey Buckingham - Have already seen Fleetwood with the other four members of the classic lineup. Will never be able to see all five together now that Christine has passed, but it would be nice if Stevie and Lindsey can patch things up for one final go with the remaining living members of the Rumours lineup. I will remain mildly hopeful through 2027.
The Horrible Crowes - Saw Brian Fallon & The Crowes which kind of counts? Would prefer a full Horrible Crowes set though.
Box Car Racer - Saw Tom and Travis w/ Mark perform part of "There Is" as blink, along with Tom perform part or all of the same song a couple times over the years with AVA.
Dewey Cox & The Hard Walkers

Latest Edit: 12/29/24

 

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!

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'm shocked Pity Sex reunited for that festival in California and haven't done anything yet.

 

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

Bands I would love to see again:

ETID
The dillinger escape plan (greg singing)
Moving mountains
Blink 182

Bruno mars
Deftones

I think my biggest bucketlist band right now is Pearl Jam, hopefully I can see them live soon.
