Of course he did, lol!
Sorry but this made me crack up!
I did get to see him in Nov 2017 so I shouldn't complain too much. However, he did cut the show short and left without a "goodbye" to the crowd. It's really too bad. Oasis music is fun music - Gallagher concerts are always a good time (as long as they actually occur).
Not much this year. Guess that happens when you have a toddler and have to pay an extra $50 for a babysitter.
- Brandi Carlile - Neko Case - Blitzen Trapper - Foo Fighters - Trampled by Turtles (twice) - Lord Huron - Brian Fallon - Drive by Truckers
Missed due to the kid having hand, foot and mouth disease: Hinterland Music Fest (Sturgill Simpson, Band of Horses, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Sweats, Chvrches, etc...).
As for Brandi Carlile. My wife is a mega Brandi fan, so I’ve seen her a few times. Always thought she was a good performer, but this time I was blown away. She and her band may be one of the best touring acts out there. Go see her if you can.

I recently had a friend check out my setlist.fm list and she said, "You have a few years gap." "Yes, I was busy being mom."
Our kiddo had a suppressed immune system due to birth status (adopted) and that killed concerts for a while. It's all good though. You'll be going to concerts with your kiddo sooner than you think.

I always liked Brandi Carlile, but never really dug deep into her music. That was until her newest album, By the Way, I forgive you - that has blown me away. Easily my favourite album of 2018 and I have found myself going back through her catalogue. Unfortunately she doesn't have any plans to tour Australia as yet, but I will be there if she does come her.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me

Here’s to 2019!! (and hopefully some PJ shows this year)
2016 - Toronto I (Binaural!), Toronto II 2020 - Toronto, Hamilton
The zero shows trend continues for me into 2019. Last show I saw was Pearl Jam in St.Louis 2014. Raising babies is expensive! Haha!
Yeah, this is one of the reasons I don't have kids, lol.
But dude, omg, get your ass to a show. They aren't ALL expensive!
I have many gap years because of raising a kiddo. She is now 15 and goes to some of the shows with me. Sometimes as a family or couple, sometimes separately, sometimes with kiddo in tow with either me or my husband. Often it isn't just the idea of just a show, but babysitting cost, ticket x 2 (because you'd like to share a show with your spouse), potentially a meal out, transport (occasionally), parking (usually), merch (not always), hydration (nearly always) . . . You have ticket fees that are occasionally half of the original ticket price . . . Shows aren't cheap and neither are kids.

Okay... I actually go to a lot of shows alone, take transit, never buy merch... these hurdles you speak of can largely be avoiding if you have the will, lol!
