I wouldn't be opposed to a ticketmaster style queue system. Essentially retains the ability to have more devices = more chances, but would be less stressful if everyone is randomly allocated a place in the queue to wait for the booking page rather than the refresh-athon, at least you'd know straight away if you had a chance or not.

I think it's pretty likely that a lot of the setlist will be done as mashups. She has form for this and it's a good way of firing through the hits at a rapid pace. Means you'd be looking more towards a 30-40 song setlist.

Her fourth album since the last tour, its gotta come soon. The fact she's gone with a pre-announcement rather than immediate release suggests there's more promo and announcements to come. It appears like it'll be more down the folklore/evermore route than a pop album, excited to hear it.

I'd love to see Joan Jett play the legends slot if she were to come back to the UK.

Billie was definitely singing live. She called out a vocal backing track during getting older. (In her tour she usually runs between two stages during getting older, so has vocals in the backing track as an intro). I thought the crowd were decent, obviously less enthused than a tour crowd would be, the people stood next to me were only there on the off chance she'd bring Harry Styles out.

I was at the Stones in Liverpool on Thursday. First time seeing them and thought they were incredible, great setlist and the sound was especially good for a stadium gig. I don't know how Mick keeps his energy up, but if I've got a fraction of it at 78 I'll be pretty happy. Only slight downside was the layout, the golden circle was about half full which meant there was a big gap in front of the GA barrier of just dead space.

Yeah I also saw them on tour and thought they had great energy! Probably a mix of crowd/sound mixing as you say. Looking forward to seeing them on the Other.

Also, I'm a foals fan but they are not sounding particularly good here, backing vocals are ropey and Yannis seems a bit fed up, whole thing just comes across a bit flat?

Interesting that Jeremy is back on bass at the Big Weekend show now Everything Everything are touring again, it was Jack when I saw them a couple of weeks ago. A one off maybe?

deleted- Wrong thread

The Amazons just announced as support for Greta Van Fleet in Europe until June 15th. Could show up if they're active? Saw them supporting Royal Blood recently and they were sounding great!

Girl in Red isn't necessarily off yet... All the may European dates have gone from her website, but the June festivals including Glasto are still there on the tour page. I guess it'll depend on how quick her recovery is.

First tour by Lil Nas X just been announced.

First gig of 2022 for Foals last night in Edinburgh. They're performing as a 6-piece since Edwin left, I think (may be wrong) they've always been 5 when I've seen them before. The main difference this time was definitely the lighting/visuals show they put on, really great, including a moving screen, the newer songs had the better visuals with lyrics etc. It'll be interesting to see if they bring that to the festival. Music wise- A good setlist, nice mix of the albums and one new song (2001), only 3 songs from the new album but maybe we'll get more once it's actually out. Despite what seemed to be a few issues with the mix or monitors they were sounding really tight, Jack Bevan is a beast of a drummer. Great gig and I'm sure they'll smash it.
