From Kraftwerk's surprising visit at the end of a ten year hiatus, to Coldplay's intimate student bar performance, Norwich has always been home to a fine selection of live gigs.

There was Ed Sheeran's 2008 LCR performance the year he won the 'Next Big Thing' competition and in 2015 the city saw Taylor Swift, the Foo Fighters and Muse all perform at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Earlham Park.

Now, as thousands of music fans across the county prepare to pack their bags for Latitude Festival, a call has gone out for people to identify their favourite gigs.

At the festival, which runs from Thursday, July 18, to Sunday, July 21, the UEA will have a shed in the festival's Faraway Forest which people can visit to write down the gigs that changed their life and share their music experiences.

The university will then be curating a list of the top ten gigs that changed the world.

Reporter Matthew Nixon on his favourite ever gig.

When I first heard rapper Loyle Carner was coming to UEA's LCR in my second year, I was buzzing for what I knew would be a brilliant performance,

His first album has been out for just under a year to massive critical acclaim and I had heard from friends that his performances were not to miss. A few friends and I secured tickets and learned every word of his songs. But, only one song into his performance, the Mercury Prize winning artist had to stop the gig.

Unfortunately he had to address sexist comments someone in the audience made to support act Elisa and Srigala. The entire audience erupted in boos and the person who made the comments was kicked out and banned from the venue.

Loyle went on to call the night his favourite of the tour, and reminded us all what being at a gig is all about.
