Beck @ Manchester Apollo

Three years after his last appearance, Beck returns to the Manchester Apollo on July 2nd, with one major difference - the price.

In June 2005 you could pick up a ticket for £23.50, but a quick visit to See Tickets shows that this time round its pushing on doubling the amount with the total coming in at £42.55 once you've been hit with all the hidden charges.

Beck is a fantastic performer and it will probably be worth it if he brings a full show that can top his puppet-based antics of his last trip around these shores, but I can't help be annoyed that this years O2 Wireless festival is strictly a Hyde Park affair - as a line up of Morrissey, Beck, The Wombats & The National is damn spiffy.
