They're exactly the sort of business saving booking IOW needs.

Don't be silly they have Rod Stewart to save them

I've literally just read that he is playing IOW.

I didn't think Rod was popular nowadays. Time will tell with ticket sales! Maybe they wanted a 'cheaper' headliner so they could splash the wonga on Roses or Roses?

Rod's still very popular and his own shows sell well, but as a festival headliner? alongside Arcade Fire!? i'm really not sure. i imagine most Rod fans will've already seen him at his own shows, and most Arcade Fire fans will go see them at their own upcoming shows

Rod's popular enough in that  - after other plans fell through - our backup of going to see him in Glasgow on #RealBlackFriday has been stymied by tickets being like gold dust.

[mungo57]

fair does. I hadn't realised Rod was still popular at all! He's been on Graham Norton a few times last few years, other than that I hadn't noticed he was active at all!

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be fair this is in Glasgow, where there's maybe more of a fondness for him than in other parts of the UK. 

Gonna be a lot of #tapsaff for Sailing.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - it's definitely not the card they needed to have up their sleeve.

I've just got the hump as I want to get blootered and have a singalong to You Wear It Well.

Funny, I had Axl down as a definite Trump supporter in my head

I reckon that 7th July is looking very likely. Either 16th weekend or that I think as most others are taken, if it's Wembley.

He'll always sell out arenas to the oldies with loads of spare cash. Helping IOW sell out its tickets I'm not so sure about though. 

Was on the phone to my old man yesterday and he was telling me he'd recently been to see Rodney, for the pricely sum of £150!

I couldn't believe my f***ing ears!!

Where are these coming from mate?

Surely Sweden then Finland is too close for that not to run into England.

[thewayiam]

Any chance of these going on sale Saturday instead of Friday meaning that Adele has a her two extra date presale on Wednesday and Friday is the general sale I presume.

Yes but that leak is fake completely, the few dates leaked don't match at all.

Nice, I have everything covered in case, I just need to get tickets. Just had a week off and this week coming would have been better but I'll just sneak off early provided they are on sale Friday or ask to take a break early. I'd rather seating to be honest but it's going to be a get what you get!

Ugh id love to see them but the ticket prices for standing in Dublin are sure to be eye watering  Glasto + Boomtown + some other holiday + Electric Picnic it's shaping up to be an expensive summer and it's not even Christmas yet. If there's tickets available close to the gig and I have cash then maybe.

I think this is one gig I'm going to ignore the pricing for, the only other gig to do that would have been Bowie. Nothing will ever be as hard to get tickets though than MJ.

Surely there must be an announcement tomorrow?
