    Gerry Cinnamon and /or The Streets have got be nailed on here? Gerry's gone from selling out O2 academy venues to doing a full arena tour and selling out Hampden stadium  within a year, merely off the back of supporting Courteeners on their Winter 2018 tour. Would draw a big pool on the day i think, like him or not he gets the atmosphere going - new album out in May too. 

    He's not sold out Hampden off the back of supporting the Courteeners 😆 Watch his TRNSMT 2018 set and that was before anyone in England had even heard of him, probably what brought him to Liam Fray's attention too as they were on after to a smaller crowd.

    Where would he play at Glastonbury these days, 2nd/3rd down on the Other stage? I'm not really expecting him to play next year now given how big all his other dates to be honest.

    Will be interesting to see how quickly these sell-out, imagine there are quite a few additional dates to be added including a second Hampden date surely or maybe Murrayfield.

  3. Some people need to get out the house more and realise that this is a festival in Glasgow, Scotland. The type of people saying that Courteerers and Capaldi shouldn't be headling and Foals should be are the same type that say Gerry Cinnamon can't shift tickets when he's just sold-out Hampden in hours off one album.

  4. Had to look up photos. Falkirk does look like a decent set-up for mid-sized gigs. Certainly better than just a field and no doubt a lot more commercially attractive now that they've built-up a list of past gigs - Elton John, Status Quo, Midge Ure, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Madness, Jess Glynne, Little Mix, Westlife, The Killers

    These guys are insanely popular these days although I can't quite understand why.  We have a new arena in Aberdeen where Gerry Cinnamon is doing the largest ever all standing indoor gig in Scotland. 16,000 tickets sold out in hours. World of music has gone crazy.

    Gerry has just sold out Hampden in no time at at all this morning. 50,000+ tickets.

    Should Wolf Alice be counted as female then? I mean, their main songwriter, singer, guitar player, person with the best stage presence and general centrepiece of the band is female... but the other guys have dicks....

    That's the point. Imagine a festival was Paramore, Chvrches, Neon Trees, Wolf Alice.

    Would they when have to book some male acts to counteract these "female acts" even though these female acts are mostly male.

    Not sure if this is xenophobia, classism, agism or all three. But what I am sure about is that it is extremely backwards to try to shut down debate through personal insults...

    Probably helped by a total lack of reputable dark fruit bands. 

    Probably not a discussion for this thread but what is the reason for this? It's always puzzled me. Is it as simple as a London-centric music industry and the inherent class/north-south divide.

    Surely record labels must have people to tell the likes of CATB or Blossoms that they just need to chuck on a pair of Adidas Gazelles and they'd sell twice as many tickets.

    The only way I don't see Gerry Cinnamon sell that out is if he's just played one too many big shows in recent times. No doubt a shit ton turned out to Courteeners for him, with the run of Glasgow shows that year, TRNSMT and the Hydro all in the recent past as well. Mad thing is, I still think it'll sellout.

    Of the hundreds of thousands in Scotland who have seen him over the years go through open mics, pub gigs, King Tuts, ABC, Barrowlands, Hydro, TRNSMT etc. Nobody will be avoiding Hampden because they've seen him before, quite the opposite.

    Gerry Cinnamon playing at Hamden, is he really that big?

    Watch it sell out in minutes.

    Only need to look at TRNSMT from 2018 (that was the gig that announced him to the music world and way before any media types or anyone in England had even heard of him) and with the crowd he got in Glasgow he could've sold Hampden even back then.

    Too big for Belladrum? 

    His tour later this year involves playing in venues of 1500-2000 capacity. 

    I don't think he's out of the reach for Belladrum at all. I'd rather they left him for places like TRNSMT though. 

     

    Do you still think Belladrum stand a chance two weeks after he sells out Hampden?

    I saw today that it was confirmed that Gerry Cinnamon has a new album out "early next year". Probably up to him what he does in Glasgow next summer so can't see him wanting to do TRNSMT again over his own Summer Session or could even just go baws out and do Hampden. Could see him co-headlining R+L and main headlining a load of others in England.

    Called it. Baws well and truely oot.

    Norwich, Leicester and Bournemouth are small venues. 

    I'm in Aberdeen and he hasn't sold out Aberdeen. There is standing tickets on Ticketmaster for £35 this second.

    This is an arena tour with 1 venue at that capacity in Leicester. He sold two nights at the Hydro in minutes + Aberdeen arena (13,000), Liverpool, Leeds, Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff, 2x Brixton, Newcastle and Norwich.

    This is basically extactly what I said to my husband when it was announced. 

    They’ll have announced it to get the people who’ve just seen him at TRNSMT to buy up the last remaining tickets. I can almost hear chants coming from the ned, sorry RED campsite already. 

     

    Funny to read this. A year later and Gerry is too big an act for Belladrum to even dream of booking him.
