Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

Would love a review in here after if you can! I'm off to see them at the Barras in Glasgow on Monday and cannot wait. Should be a cracker. -

I've seen Coldplay on their last two Stadium tours (2016/2022) and they were great. I like to think that I have a pretty wide and good taste in music but can't help but just enjoy Coldplay (although their last album was rubbish to be fair). They will be just fine as a Pyramid headliner again, despite it not being very exciting or at all forward thinking.

Considering how many big/strong acts are touring this August around the UK/Europe, I'd be quite surprised if it makes it back next year in the same format
-
Catfish and the Bottlemen playing the Festival Site the weekend Connect usually falls, and not having any Connect branding, is surely the end for this festival (again). A real shame.
-
That seems really rough considering a standing ticket is coming in just under £60 including fees.
-
Joining the Arcade Fire strategy of "Distract people with an Anniversary Tour". Makes me wonder if Ben Gibbard is shifty
-
What an odd choice of Special Guest and some suspiciously large venues
-
They've deliberately picked a site next door to a train station (Edinburgh Park) so getting to/from Glasgow and other places along that line will be easier than the Corn Exchange or even the Usher Hall (in theory)

This gap between Academy and the Hydro is one of the reasons the proposed Edinburgh Arena is only 8500 capacity. Edinburgh is even worse than Glasgow given there's no real Barras equivalent. It's very much needed for central Scotland to have that "smaller" arena to keep bands of that size coming up here and it being financially viable for them. Enter Shikari are the most recent example of not being big enough to play the Hydro so just playing the o2 Academy in Edinburgh instead. It was sold out but they obviously couldn't bring their full production given the size difference.

Radiohead at Rock Werchter 2017 is maybe the best headline set I've ever seen. It was like they felt the pressure too much for Glastonbury

Arcade Fire were/are my favourite band and I had totally blocked out the fact that Funeral would be 20 this year and they might do gigs like that. I would've sold my dog a few years back to see Funeral in full but I really don't know about it now. The atmosphere at the WE tour was so strange but that was partly down to the news coming out between tickets being bought and the shows taking place. Now anyone buying tickets either doesn't know, or it doesn't put them off. I can't see anything more than a London date for the UK regardless.

That's a huge tour for them. Fair play but I can see a few curtained seats on the horizon
-
More acts added. Still looks awful
