The return of Siouxsie Sioux

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

£90 for a day ticket is bollocks.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

Funnily enough the last time I saw Siouxsie I think she was on the same bill as Pulp.

Heineken Festival freebie at Roundhay Park? That was certainly the last (and only) time I saw them / her.

Yep that was the one.

Michael Wood (RIP) who some folks on here probably remember, managed to blag his way backstage and stole a load of booze from someone's rider. He ended up in the medical tent puking his guts up :lol:

Last time I saw her, too. 1995. I just checked. A friend found an envelope containing a pass to the Green Room. It was a bar at the side of the stage where you could get free drinks! It had the days Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun marked on it with 3 of the days crossed out with a marker. Careful use of an eraser meant it could be re-inked for use on each day! We were taking it in turns to use it to walk in and walk out with a tray of drinks!

I remember hearing a recording of her from 2002 and she was singing off key and it was upsetting to listen to, so I've no idea how she's going to sound 21 years later. Perhaps if she only sings the songs that are still suited to her voice and avoids the ones that aren't,and does some new arrangements etc then maybe she can avoid a train wreck. Sorry to be so negative!

thats encouraging. unless she/her promoter are the most perverse motherfuckers in all of Pop Land then they seriously cant be just playing Wolverhampton as the only non-festival gig in England. :lol:

Still gutted I didn't get ticket for Glasgow.
Dont know if she is still a smoker, but interested to hear how her voice has held up.
Guess I'll find out in about an hour (only on Facebook.... sadly)

Luckily ticket day was a strike day. Fresh from the picket line, me and a colleague were frantically refreshing on our respective accounts to get me tickets. Solidarity in all respects!

Reading the posts about the gigs in Facebook is kind of scary. Some people seem to object to the fact she's actually older. And I thought the Sisters brought the loons out! 😲

You are so right abridged. Some of the comments are disgraceful. I read one where the guy seemed disappointed Siouxsie wasn't writhing on the floor the way she used to during Voodoo Dolly! Seriously immature
