  1. I mean I just had a look at this one and it's only premium or VIP tickets left, which... I think I'll go spend my money elsewhere.
  2. Depends on what it is imo. Some things I can imagine working well as a live format, some things I think just work fine as just picking up on Spotify.
  3. I think Chelsea of the 1998-2003 period were slightly higher than Spurs by that logic, in that they could swipe the odd trophy and challenge for the league title without being at the same level of Man United and Arsenal. Though clearly Spurs as they are don't have the financial vulnerabilities Chelsea had in 2003 that saw their path coincide well with Roman's idea to join in on PL club ownership.
  4. Yup: Bernardo Silva opens up on 'tough' challenge of playing at left-back for Man City - Manchester Evening News Apparently he also played this role in the previous weekend's game against Aston Villa, which I didn't watch so wasn't aware of that being tried out beforehand. Curiously, it also says that when he was at Benfica several years ago, his then-boss tried that and his response was to hand in a transfer request. Though given there's been rumours for a few years now that he wants a new challenge, maybe that wouldn't be out of the question.
  5. Man City would help themselves if Guardiola stopped his habit of picking odd teamsheets. Bernardo Silva at left-back yesterday was lucky not to get punished more than it did.
  6. This won't happen but has anyone seen Niko Kranjcar?
  7. First released in November 2009, so... yeah. Very much an older cut now.
  8. Give it a shot in the O2 Priority sale? Cos it seems like a hot ticket Same with Dublin, given a second show has been added over there.
  9. I still think of this lot for the American Dad episode where Stan Smith becomes irrationally obsessed with My Morning Jacket... moreso than the actual music if I'm totally fair.
  10. Like a high-end version of the player trades Watford and Udinese used to organise then. Assuming the Qataris don't decide to offload PSG as part of this. Though I imagine that might be quite a complicated addition to what's already a tricky transaction.
  11. It's genuinely quite something to me that for all the money PSG have to play with, one of their starting players in a Champions League knockout tie is 16. They seem in an odd place atm, mind, given they're out of the French Cup, now in danger of a second consecutive Champions League last 16 exit, have been out of form in Ligue 1 as well, and there's talk of various star players wanting out in the summer. Not to mention talk those behind the Qatar cash at PSG are interested in acquiring Manchester United, which would be a bit of a distraction.
  12. Indeed Billie Eilish might be part of that crowd as she said in an interview she was a big fan of Hot Fuss, including a certain headline-grabbing observation: Billie Eilish used to “sit in the car and cry” to The Killers' 'Mr Brightside' (nme.com) But yeah at the stadium show of TK's I saw last year and a lot of videos from other dates, there's a cross-section of ages there including some who would've been in their teens/early 20s when The Killers blew up and some of that age group now.

    U2

    That would be cool tbf. I ponder if Zooropa or Pop might get a song or two sneak in, given celebration the 90s logically means throwing in those harder sell albums. Though I say this as someone who likes Pop, which isn't necessarily something U2 themselves seem to have been at times.

    U2

    They've not announced specific dates yet, have they? I think there's an element of worrying about that first, then we'll see the unquestionably pricey ticket cost we'll be confronted with.
  15. There's a few clubs or pubs with lights on that play Reach for the Stars a lot purely for those purposes tbf.
  16. Not necessarily impossible but yeah, those circumstances make it likelier than not that they won't be around. Tbh, it's been so long since I'd last heard a Mumford & Sons song that I'd forgot they were still a thing.
  17. Was said up in the chat that this is a thing at Finsbury tbf. I believe both AM 2014 and QOTSA 2018 ended at 10:30 (or near enough), so would've said that had this not been mentioned.
  18. I did note this contains both Marcus Mumford solo and the full Mumford & Sons experience... does this raise the possibility other festivals they might turn up at may also have to get a double dose?
  19. Technically not a musical booking but I thought this was worth bringing up... Dunno what it is but I find the idea of the cast of Always Sunny in Philadelphia doing 2 shows (on the same day but still) in the grand old place that is the Royal Albert Hall to be an amusing one.
  20. I mean, there are some back-to-back dates looking at his diary and given that 24th date is in Plymouth, it's not a million miles away. Imo it's likelier not to happen than is given Plymouth, Bristol (well, Badminton Estate) and Glastonbury is quite the hyper-concentration of shows, but that's not to say it can be entirely ruled out.
  21. Setting aside the rumour she's doing Boygenius rather than her own stuff in 2023, Phoebe was 3rd down on a Rolling Stones bill opening for them and War on Drugs. Which is certainly a different change of pace to being 5th down and playing before Clairo and Pale Waves as was originally planned judging by the 2020 '75 FP poster.
  22. Be something if Jesse Marsch gets a new club before Leeds hire his replacement, and indeed, a club that is still yet to face Leeds at St Mary's. But yes, Southampton's strategy is making little sense. It kinda goes back to them getting their transfer policy wrong in the summer and seemingly primarily signing Man City's youth prospects.
  23. And indeed it was. We thinking that announcement means no APE stuff this week due to big London park show also being on sale at the same time or is that a possibly incorrect notion?

    The 1975

    First album was a Dirty Hit release, and produced by the 1975's drummer, so yeah.
  25. Sounds like a lesson in stadium rock that given how long some big acts at that level tend to stretch songs out.
