New Royal Blood tour:

Glasgow, Barrowland (February 22)

Plymouth, Pavilions (27)

Bridlington, Spa (28)

Portsmouth, Guildhall (March 2)

Newport, Centre (3)

Norwich, UEA (5)

Blackpool, Empress Ballroom (6)

Wolverhampton, Civic Hall (11)

London, O2 Academy Brixton (13)

Nottingham, Rock City (14)

Surprising that they're playing Bridlington, that venue is usually reserved for arena bands doing warm-ups

It isn't all the time, but about half the music gigs are like that yeah.

I saw an advert yesterday with Royal Blood's logo with UK tour 2015 in the corner yesterday and clicked it and it just showed me all the sold out 2014 dates so I thought nothing more of it. Definitely moving up through the venues now though.

Half the gigs I go to are in Portsmouth, it's probably the best served city on the South Coast aside from Brighton

True, but I feel like it's a little bit of a case of usual suspects - plenty of decent (usually British) bands come down here repeatedly, whereas some bands, that would be the right size for the Guildhall or Pyramids, miss it tour after tour.

But yeah, I shouldn't complain, I guess - things could certainly be a lot worse :P

Well try living in Salisbury, we have a decent 1200 capacity venue that gets nothing but tribute bands with the odd band that have released a song this decade sprinkled in.

Only a half hour train ride from Southampton though

Also someone please buy my ticket for The Antlers at Hackney Empire

Actually I also have a spare for He Is Legend in Winchester if anyone is interested

Yeah but I don't go to Southampton Guildhall on account of it being the worst venue in the country. It's good for smaller gigs though and the opening of the new 900 cap venue should be good.

I swear I read somewhere that the Guildhall's acoustics are so good there's a rumour that The Cure rehearse there before every tour

Also when you say the new 900 cap venue do you mean The 1865?

It's better than Portsmouth fucking Pyramids. It's a swimming pool ffs.

An arse to get to as well

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
