Later we bring you top tips on how to be a total "gig pig" if you're a disabled person. The lowdown on Nimbus cards and booking accessible tickets to see your favourite band with a man who is going to 100 gigs in the next year using his wheelchair. No, it's true!
And much more besides with Emma Tracey, featuring TV's Paul Carter.
