Not technically a concert of the type described above… and not the main reason we went… but went to NYC on Concorde and saw Turandot at the Met. Amazing!
PS Forgot to add also saw Elton John in LAS.
PPS And the opera in Verona twice.

CalJam 2017, Foo Fighters headlined. It was one of the best weekend trips that I can remember.
CalJam 2017
It was a whirlwind trip to LAX and San Bernardino over 3 nights, in a cheap B2B ex-EU WTP ticket where we were OpUpped both ways to CW on the A380. 433 return if I remember right.
It goes without saying that we needed that bed on the way back having been up for something like 36 hours by that point, and were very pleased to see the seat change while in the QF lounge at TBIT!

Rolling Stones Warsaw 2018
Rolling Stones Vienna 2022
(where we got recognised by some fellow concert goers as the 4 big men in bright shirts from the front row of the plane)
Seriously debating going to the states this summer for some more.

Sea Power - UK/Ireland/Europe (multiple concerts)
Depeche Mode - St. Petersburg and Pasadena
U2 - Sphere Las Vegas
The National - Portland Maine (via BOS)
Kings of Leon - Chicago (it's hilarious how they play in smaller venues than in the UK)
Moby - Los Angeles
Maps - Paris
ABBA - London
Arcade Fire - Montral
Naked and Famous - Christchurch (codeshare)
Soda Stereo - Buenos Aires
Viva Suecia - Madrid
The 1975 - Johannesburg
There are more than that, but these were the memorable ones which definitely involved BA.
EDIT: My hope is to one day see Depeche Mode in Kyiv, and get there on BA.

Went to Metallica last August in Phoenix47 degrees max 🥵. Part of current world tour where they do a Friday and Sunday in each city with no repeats. Friday was great. But both I and Het caught covid and Sunday was cancelled and moved to next Saturday. Thanks to fare rules reverting to historic pricing once outbound is flown, I managed to juggle things around and made the second night.
