For me it was Wolfmother at a major German festival. I didn't really know them before and did not expect too much, but was totally blown away by their performance.

I've seen lots of contemporary dance performances which have blown me away, one was called 'The Silk Road' and showed how dance, as well as material goods was passed on via the silk road.

It had traditional Indian dance and Spanish dance (the one where the men do the foot stomping, I've not been up for long and my brain is still in sleep mode). It was amazing. The dancing was beautiful and demonstrated how culture and ideas are transmitted, in this instance- the similarities of dance movements

Also saw a free performance of some students of Chethams School of Music (Manchester) perform the harp. I think there was 4, maybe 5 female students, and it was beautiful. I've never heard the harp performed just on its own and they used percussive rhythms made by drumming and tapping the instrument...

I have the flyers from both above performances, so I'll edit my comment later on after I've found them

Also adding Estas Tonne....my boyfriend is a big fan and we traveled down to London for a week which included one of his gigs....it was held in a church and was just him and his guitars (and 2 incense sticks)
