The first 3/4 songs are very poor/average imo and are just bad LDR/Lorde songs. It picks up after that. Despite the terrible song names, So Long, London and But Daddy I Love Him are both great and with time will climb up the favourite song rankings.

I'm not sure I'm ready for the Arcade Fire discourse again already 😅 Pre-allegations, this would've been an all-time gig announcement and would've been tempted to travel down for it. Great venue and one of my favourite albums of all time. Now, it's just weird. The fact they still have replies/comments off on all their socials says enough.

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

This is great to hear, cannot wait for tonight at the Barras. I’ve only ever seen them at festivals or support sets. I still go on about his ladder banter from Glastonbury in 2013. -
Manchester and Glasgow being on Sunday nights is also odd. Strange tour all round with some big geographic gaps, venue sizes and the dates. Another perfect advert for a gig venue in central Scotland in-between Academy and Hydro size.

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)
