I could just about tolerate being dragged to Wembley Arena to see Matchbox 20.
Maroon 5, Nah!

Nobody I can think of really. I normally buy tickets in advance and make sure I'm in the venue at the time stated on the ticket. I'm funny like that though

Not really by mistake but I saw Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart as the tourists when they were the warm up act for Bryan Ferry. Saw them briefly I spent most of their performance in the bar.

nearly. A few years ago the missus dragged me along to see Goldfrapp. I wasn't that interested and didn't take much notice of the name, however I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thought they were excellent.
last year I bought two tickets for what I thought was goldfrapp in a bit of a rush on presale, good seats near the front at manchester arena.
It wasn't until a few months later I realised I had bought tickets for florence and the machine instead by mistake. I got rid of them sharpish, for a small profit on stubhub

I saw The Cranberries when a mate's band were supporting them at the Old Trout in Windsor. That Dolores had a decent voice but they insisted on no house lights and played in almost total darkness. Odd.

That's how good The Beatles were, they 30 years ahead of their time that they nicked Oasis sound and style.Oasis. Thought they were The Beatles

From the Old Trout pub to the Milton Keynes Bowl. Not bad.
Mind I saw The Pixies and also Oasis at the same Windsor pub venue before they closed it and turned it into a Browns restaurant.
Feeder after turning up to a festival stage too early.
I saw Anvil, who later became more famous for their "Spinal Tap" movie, support Motorhead (1982, I think).

went to a ruts concert at durham uni and the dammed turned up and did a few songs as part of the encore...
a mate was working at fenham barracks in the 80's. he walked past one of the pubs after work and heard a live band playing a dire straits song, so he went in and it was dire straits. it was the landlord's birthday (or some similar celebration) and they knew him so surprised him with an impromptu gig.

Conversely, when I was 18 I went to Gig on the Green with some massive Feeder fans. We went to their stage nice and early to get near the front and the Stereo MCs were on before them and were phenomenal!Feeder after turning up to a festival stage too early.
