Some more lists for the TL:DR people reading this, or those who simply haven’t had enough yet.
10 Bands Seen The Most Times
- System:FX – 21
- Die Kur – 20
- Greenhaus – 16
- VNV Nation – 15 (+1 “only saw half”)
- Diary Of Dreams – 14
- MaxDmyz – 13 (+2 curtailed sets)
- Deviant UK – 13
- Mechanical Cabaret – 13
- RBN – 13 (later renamed Stok:Holm, but I never saw them under this title)
- Killing Miranda – 12 (and there’s a bit of ‘previous’ putting these two back-to-back…)
Bubbling under….Inertia and Deathboy on 11, AlterRed on 10. I reckon Global Citizen, Machine Rox and Black Light Ascension will all hit double figures soon.
Either Diary of Dreams or VNV count as highest scoring ‘overseas’ band, depending on what nationality you count VNV as, but the three bands above have all had members from overseas too, be it in the live band or as their primary creative force.
Killing Miranda win the prize for the “band seen the most times with exactly the same line upon each occasion”. Unless you count Chewbacca on keyboards one time. Die Kur will probably pass System:FX for first place before 2017 is out. Only about half of these projects are still gigging frequently.
20 Bands I Want To See But Haven’t Yet
Oddly, I need only attend Rock Werchter 2017 to bag the top 2, but with barely anything else on the line-up I want to see and the fact that I’ve ‘checked out’ of attending outdoor festivals, we’ll have to wait for a big arena show somewhere.

- System Of A Down
- Armageddon Dildos
- The Cure
- Die Form
- Aphex Twin
- Siouxsie Sioux (under any name)
- Mentallo & The Fixer
