On 31st October I took the bus to Glasgow to see Hanabie for the third time.
Gig at QMU, I had VIP so early entry and photo with the band before the show.
This was the first time I saw the support band Lake Malice. Alice Guala is Halloween-themed.
And so are Hanabie.
Stayed at the Ibis Glasgow Central Sauchiehall Street.
Had a few pints after the gig and a kebab back in my room before bed.
Started Saturday November 1st 2025 with a hotel breakfast.
Then off to catch the train to Manchester to see Hanabie for the fourth time.
Walked past the venue on my way to where I was staying that night.
Band buses already there.
It was reasonably priced and not far to walk. At least one other Hanabie fan had the same idea and stayed here as well.
Ended up eating at the nearest Wetherspoons. VIP ticket so early access and photo with the band before the gig.
Hettsu explaining she had lost her voice.
Back in Wetherspoons afterwards.
On Sunday 2nd November 2025 I started the day with a theological breakfast.
Then off to get the train to Birmingham to see Hanabie for the fifth time.
Located the venue.
Lunch at the Wetherspoons I was staying at, The Briar Rose Wetherspoons pub/hotel.
It was around 5 or 10 minutes walk from the venue and only £50 a night or so. Another VIP ticket and photo.
Friendly security offered to take my picture on the rail.
Had beer and a German Doner back in my room at the Briar Rose. On the 3rd of November I had breakfast in the Briar Rose.
Killed time by looking round the Bullring.
Christmas Market
Yesterday’s venue from across the street.
Then off to the airport to fly home.
Swag.
And that was it for 2025 music trips.
