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.

Tour announced now:

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
-
What a coup by Kendal Calling to get Abba to play underneath The Pigeon Detectives
-
Does anyone have any indication if Connect will be back next year? Given the recent APE and Victorious announcements, LCD Soundsystem and Biffy Clyro feel like layup headliners for this. There seem to be a lot of "Connect style" acts touring around the usual time so they could do well here. All this obviously means it won't happen given how DF have booked Connect so far but it's nice to hope.
-
This will sell well but you couldn't pay me to deal with that crowd. The fact that Radiohead were the first TRNSMT headliner seems wilder by the day.
-
I loved them at Primavera last year and reports of their arena tour recently were great, so I'm very tempted by that Edinburgh Castle show
-
This is a Ticketmaster special. Seetickets are pretty good at showing prices ahead of on sale dates but so many acts are only available on Ticketmaster now.
