so planning coming along for Glasgow i see! wohhho - only 50mins away from home!

This is my next Mika gig and not soooo long to go now!!!

magic!!! tah dah!

yes - it is right in town too and smaller for sure than other o2 he played before think he' still testing out UK audience as been such an absence to main stream audience and Radio 1 listeners

Venue Info About Contact O2 ABC Glasgow About O2 ABC Glasgow once housed Scotland’s first cinema in 1896 and over the years was also known as The Ice Palace, The Hippodrome and Hengler’s Circus until reverting to its cinema status in the 20th Century in various incarnations as the Regal, the MGM, Cannon and of course, the ABC until 1999. Converted to a concert venue in June 2005 following an extensive £2m conversion by Regular Music O2 ABC Glasgow is one of Scotland’s best-loved live music and club venues.

Yes it's smaller than o2 and pretty much a large room with a bar outside and relaxed kind of place!

Thank you!!!!! Party on!!!

you too! i love the Dutch gals and boys See you there!! no wig required?!

Totally there with you!!!!!

Well if there is even a spark of a smallest tiny hope you must book!!!!! HOPE you can

my bad luck for being too slow - but i have other options now! phew:blush-anim-cl:

Just want to be sure i can bring the family!! Age 12 children ok with adult? My Dutch agent is checking for me ( Ingie!) but if anyone knows please let me know!

oh my!!! a weekend in Amsterdam!!!

Next time - i'm coming in my high vis jacket - just as your personal security - it's only right - no dude's gonna step on your toe!!!

Awesome pic Ingie as i've said to you - awesome!!!! so happy for you Yeah we had loads of people trying to push in front of us - i just kept telling them - - sorry you can't stand there!! Most didn't - but lots of dirty looks! And this was about row 7?!

Thanks Meloody - Ingie is trying to find out for me and i'll do that cheers - i'd like to take my kids to one gig

oh i'm gonna use this at my work! Excellent!!!

ahh good i thought you would have noticed Sari!!! I chew gum myself - i'm not a gum hater - lol - but i thought it just looked awful! for her only real spot on the night i think she should have taken it out!!! I don't really see her great appeal either in terms of voice or presence but i don't dislike her just i think she's not worth trading iMMa for?( i am so sure she would NEVER have done that) however ------ time may prove us wrong?! Yes i know------- how can she sing and chew!!! I could see the gum in her mouth when she was doing her ----- have fun --- bit! not good - iMMa was also such a part of the whole show and Joy is clearly now - maybe it is what Mika wants!

Can anyone tell me if this venue allows under 14's? I'm trying to work it out

What a great day! The weather, company, food and drinks were perfect! Mika wasn't bad either! It was the frist PROPER gig for me as LOVEBOX was so short and sweet. I loved having a whole show experience! We did our bits with hearts - thanks to all those who made them! Lovely to meet new people as always - especially our friend form Poland Magdalena Mika was in great voice, spirit and humour - most has been said, HarryPotter, new band etc I'm still warming to the new band - slowly - still miss iMMa and Cherisse and David especially:blink: I loved my first trip to Italy and everyone was so helpful and friendly There was a long but worthwhile wait to see Mika at the end - in fact this is part of the day - the long time spent post gig on a pavement! - next stop London where he told us to be on fire!

Yes we want to see your hair 3 songs max please

Jazzy - Great to read this especially having been there - fabulously constructed review:wink2: Those feelings are amazing aren't they...

Well here we go Have read with interest most of the comments so far and have enjoyed doing that - it reminds me of the old days! Anyway - i general really enjoyed this high energy performance from Mika! Had spent a fabulous day soaking up the pre Olympic atmosphere in sunny London - watching the city alive and full of fun and i felt excited! We spent much of the day nearby Whitehall in a pub for late lunch and the barman asked me was i here for The Olympic torch procession - which was going to pass by the pub about 7pm! I said no i hadn't realised - i was here for a gig - when he asked who and where i expected a blank but he said to me - oh well don't suck too hard on your lollipop or love will get you down!! bravo bar man!! Anyway enough pre gig ramble Once in the venue - after doors - got a drink and found a spot with Ingie and sharon to dance - with a pretty ok view - most of the time! It got busier and busier but we stood it out after the poor DJ set finally MikA! I'll comment on the main things that i felt strongly about ...... Fabulous to have such an intimate and small venue He was on fire - so were we with the heat - well he did ask us to be when in Milan! He was full of energy and very happy it seemed which always makes for a great gig. Obviously an important one for him in UK again and so much better than LOVEBOX which was so short and he was so nervous!( but i know it was a festival which i loved for so many artists!) He was fun and playful a lot of the time and i like his style - so glad no furry animals now - though still lollipop!! I don't like that hat though - - i like it for a bit - like 2-4 songs but not the WHOLE gig! I want to see his hair - it makes him sweat to much too! Get it off! Luke throwing his top was fabulous and he loved it too! The new band don't do it for me i'm afraid - i especially miss iMMa and Cherisse - they were fabulous and i can't see what needed replacing:shun: I noticed that Joy was chewing gum when she came to the front to sing Celebrate which was a real - no no:shocked: Mika obviously values her support at this song and she sings it ok but all i could see was the gum in her mouth!!! I wanted to run up with a gum paper and tell her to spit it out! did anyone else notice? Origin dedication was obviously an important and wonderful moment for him and yes he looked like he was looking at his man at the back - that was lovely to see him so happy and comfortable - it was important for him - that was very clear It was fun as always seeing people and sharing the experience esp in a very hot London! We saw the family very relaxed too and of course we went round after some time to see him come out but after Milan i didn't feel the need to speak to him this time - but he saw me and smiled which was nice. Everyone was V excited too afterwards about the listening party the next day and had i not been away for 4 days form home i would have made an effort to change plans but i had to get home to my son who was also performing that day! I've no regrets though of course would love to have been there. It has been exciting to see him again and i really loved the chance to hear new material - most of which i like - but not yet LOVE - i really am looking forward to the new album and really want it to do well for him - i feel it might! When back at our travel lodge we listened to the Radio 2 version of Origin and i didn't think it was nearly so good as it is live - but then it may not be the final version i now understand. Well that's me just now I have photos and video but not as good as others i think - will post if they are worthy later on.

No Milan I'll need to check these venues as i now in love with and must see more places there

sensible people are!!! We're going anyway! Let's have fun - chill out and relax! did you say summer weather -? Can't wait!!
