Mark Lanegan Tribute at the Roundhouse

Mark Lanegan: 60 - A Celebration

Roundhouse, 5 December 2024 

As soon as this tribute concert celebrating what would have been Mark Lanegan's 60th birthday was announced, I knew I had to go. I would never see Lanegan live again, but at the very least I could see some of his friends and peers sing some of his songs and say goodbye to one of my favourite ever artists that way. Fortunately for me I was lucky enough to grab a ticket, as it sold out right away.

The Garage, 27 August 2009

For some reason I've seen Mark Lanegan live more than any other artist but then Lanegan has to have more bands and projects he's involved in than any other artist. Other than seeing him with his own band, I've seen him sing with the Screaming Trees, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Twilight Singers, The Gutter Twins and of course Isobel Campbell. But one of my most memorable Lanegan experiences was the first time I saw him with Soulsavers.
