danthemjfan23 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 so, i'm thinking about making a huge trip to see alkaline trio play a few shows in England in May of 2012. i was wondering if anybody could help me out with either a place to stay, possible transportation tips, ideas on good things to do/places to eat, and stuff like that. i've been to germany/czech republic/austria before, but i have no idea if England is anything like that, or if things have changed in the past few years since i visited. the itinerary i'm looking at is this: Tuesday, May 1 arrive at Manchester Airport at 7:50 am spend the day in Liverpool Wednesday, May 2 Alkaline Trio show in Sheffield Thursday, May 3 visit Stonehenge in Wiltshire Friday, May 4 Alkaline Trio show in Leeds Saturday, May 5 Alkaline Trio show in Manchester Sunday, May 6 depart Manchester Airport at 10:40 am again, any and all information and help you guys can give me would be great. even if you can't put me up for a night, just letting me know a good place to stay would be awesome. of course, if you do let me stay with you, i'd be more than happy to bring you some records and buy you some beer at the show if you're going, too!

Guest markovianprocess Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 http://punktastic.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=51 If you go to this section of the Punktastic forum, they have City Guides written by punk fans on all the cities you've mentioned. I'd recommend browsing all of the threads below for tips on where to eat/shop/things to see/etc, or even consider joining the forum and asking some questions yourself. There will be people that can help you out. Manchester http://punktastic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=77110 Sheffield http://punktastic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=91151 Leeds http://punktastic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=78510 Liverpool http://punktastic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=78190 Also, UK vinyl fans frequent the thread below, if you'd like any specific recommendations on record stores you should visit in each city. I know that a new vegan grocery / (mostly) hardcore record store is about to open in Manchester called V Revolution, for instance. http://www.punktastic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42919 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partysmasher Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Are you gonna get down to London at all? If you've not been there i'd recommend trying to spend a couple of days there at least. While i may be biased as i live there, if you want things to do, places to go and spots to eat at then London should be your first stop, especially if you can get tipped off about where to go and avoid the usual tourist destinations. Liverpool is a nice city but Manchester and Leeds... naaaaaaaaaaaah. Edit: also the band are playing a way smaller date in london on may 12, 200 cap place.
