KASABIAN + X Is Loaded – The Louisiana, Bristol 5/3/04

STELLASTARR* + The Killers – The Fleece, Bristol 6/3/04 (Stellastarr* are still around, but they don't seem to have had much success in the UK.  That support band have done alright for themselves, though!)

HUNDRED REASONS + Biffy Clyro + Senses Fail – Bristol Academy 9/3/04

GRAHAM COXON + Bloc Party – The Fleece, Bristol 10/3/04 (I didn't actually see Bloc Party at this gig - I was in the Seven Stars next to the Fleece having a drink, and couldn't be bothered to rush my pint to see the support who, at the time, none of us had heard of.  Doh.)

INME + X Is Loaded + Save Ourselves – The Station, Bristol 6/6/04

THE ORDINARY BOYS + Dogs Die In Hot Cars + Kaiser Chiefs – The Fleece, Bristol 8/6/04 (I wasn't a fan of DDIHC and thought they were on first, so didn't rush to get to the gig particularly early, only to find out some hotly-tipped chancers by the name of Kaiser Chiefs were in fact the first support, so I only saw about 3 songs.  It was enough to make me buy the first release of 'Oh My God', though, which I should probably stick on eBay if I run short of cash...!)

ASHTON COURT FESTIVAL 2004: The Fallout Trust + The Playwrights + 3hos2mexicansandatinofspanners + Halo + The Get-Outs + Chikinki + Goldie Lookin’ Chain - Ashton Court Estate, Bristol 17-18/7/04 (I'm not 100% certain these are the bands I saw as it's the only time I've managed to lose the programme before making a note in my diary of who I watched...my memory isn't what it used to be.)
