    Or what actually happened.....BBC News - Soho Theatre: Jewish theatregoers felt 'unsafe' at Paul Currie comedy show

    If these reports are correct he crossed the line. He picked the worst way to handle it and I see why venues aren't booking him

    Is it wise to have Mitski headlining when she's doing 3 dates at hammersmith's just 3 months before? I'm expecting lots of competitions and NHS tickets this year. 

    Mitski sold out GA and priority entry presale before I got through (10:04) and she's now sold out the VIP gardens allocation as well by 10:08)

    The film that's on Disney+ or another one? 

     

    As @gfasaid the albums were re-released to reclaim ownership.  I couldn't give two hoots about her, but her fans have a choice and she could charge more for stuff if she chose to 🤔

    This album thing is separate to the ownership stuff.

    I remember they once had Arctic Monkeys as an on-the-day announced opening act back in 2011, so a big name is theoretically possible.

    Practically/budgetary, that's another matter.

    With vampire weekend being the only non mainstage closer in headliner font I'm not going to be too optimistic about this mystery act but I'd love to be wrong. My best guess is troye Sivan as his tour hasn't sold out

    I’m not too sure, it does not say anyone else is TBC. So suggests not. 
     

    I have noticed we are losing 30-60 minutes this year as what is likely part of the licensing condition. Acts are starting at 13:00 rather than 12:00/12:30.

    When's the curfew this year?

    Anything concrete for the other days yet? I’d have thought usual suspects of Olivia Rodrigo, Foos, Coldplay and Dua would be on the shortlist

    chase and status was a surprise, Radio 1 BW has a history of doing a dance day on Friday though 

    Orod busy all weekend.

    I wonder if they were struggling to pull in acts for the Friday, the line-up looks way off the mark in terms of what was due to be a multi-genre day.


    Considering the day is now 35,000 cap, with an additional stage from last year, I can see it being a very slow ticket mover. 
     

    For £34 a ticket though you can’t complain too much I suppose. 

    Chase and status sold out mk bowl fairly quickly. Think itll maybe take a day but it'll sell

    Looking at their UK stats, I'm not convinced that Seventeen are bigger than Stray Kids.

    Stray Kids: Four charting albums, highest peaking at #40. Three charting singles, highest peaking at #44.

    Seventeen: No charting albums or singles.

    Even with worldwide monthly Spotify listeners, Seventeen have 6.7m - hardly a massive deal really. They clearly have a fanbase, but not one big enough to sell the 2000 albums it takes to make the UK charts. 

    This is their first ever European show so it's a reasonable deal. They'll hope it helps them break into a new market and glasto gets a niche global act thats new and interesting for the fest for cheap. They've done some decent arena tours in the states so they've had some western penetration. Spotify is more a western tool so it shows they've got fans but not too crazy outside of their home markets. I know they sold out stadiums in Bangkok very quickly at £217 for standing. I think it's a really good interesting booking for where they're slotting (probably 5th/6th down on pyramid)

    The whole K Pop thing scares the crap out of me to be honest. The fans seem way to invested on a personal level in the bands and it all just feels, a bit too much and potentially unhealthy.

    Have you seen Taylor swift fans ?
