Find it a little funny that there has not been a murmur out of Noel yet in regards to Liams solo career, new tunes or use of Oasis tunes.

He is usually very quick to criticise everyone else. 

Think he'd look a bit stupid if he did though

He might have written them but most Oasis songs, particularly the ones in Liam's set along with some others, were made by Liam's vocals. They've both got the right to be singing them. Think it would be a bit odd if Liam starting singing some of the ones Noel sang originally but I imagine that's why they aren't in his set

I think they sold out instantly mate. They seem to be changing hands for silly money. The difference now betwwen his return and the demise of Beady Eye is astonishing. Beady Eyes last gig in Manchester at the Academy failed to sell out I think (in his defence it was the same night as Depeche Mode at the MEN and Happy Mondays at the Ritz).

The turn around has been quite astonishing.

Give it time.  Once people realise his voice is still banjaxed and his new material sounds like Hootie and the Blowfish the kettle will soon go back off the boil.

I doubt it. People still think beautiful thing by the Roses is a good song. Liam will be treated like the secong coming now that public perception has changed.

They do?*  

How has public perception changed, exactly?  Tickets for intimate gigs in the run up to release being like gold dust isn't a surprise.  If you want to draw a like for like comparison with Beady Eye, let's see how his second album does.

 

 

*And given the way that I've been spammed with ads for cheapo tickets for Hampden I dunno if Ian Rose and the lads are a decent example of sustained success.

I liked Beautiful Thing far more than All For One.

i really don't think they can get away with gigs of the current scale (outside of Manchester) anymore after this year without a new album. People have done it now.

They're in a bit of a pickle.  Basically, everyone who want to see them has already done so, at least once - and with the new material being a write off they're hampered by the fact that their back catalogue is so small.  Five years ago if you'd told me there was a Stone Roses concert happening in Glasgow and I wasn't bothering to go I'd have thought you were crackers.

Yeah, I'll be going to Wembley in a couple of weeks, but I considered not going really. It's not "an event" anymore.

I'm going Wembley, treating it as the last time I'll ever see them as I can't see it going on past these gigs now. To be honest as much as I love them I won't be overly arsed if it doesn't, unless more new material is gonna drop. I thought I'd never get to see them and I now have numerous times in venues big and small, can't grumble.

From what I understand with Liam, he will be play the big arena's off the back of the album...

The new song is ok, which is a lot better than I was expecting. I had a peek at the set list from Brixton and it's good, if his voice is up to the task but I suspect it isn't. Or maybe it might be for the start of the tour. Might go for a look if he's playing though.

If he wasn't TBA, as 4th down on the Other,  if he was just a regular on-the-poster performer, where would you place him?   Would he still be 4th on the Other or a more prestigious slot?  

Probably 2nd/3rd down Other. Definitely above Wiley.

Just nestled above Ed Sheeran.

Fwiw I really like the new single :ph34r:

I'm majorly fucked off at the impending Katy Perry clash though, as my wife really wants to see her.

Yep me too. He was really really good in London too, so I'll definitely be seeing him

Saturday Other TBA confirmed to be Liam then. Bit gutted as I was getting my hopes up that he was gonna be the JP TBA which would've meant I could see him but ah well. Sure it'll go down a hell of a lot better than his last visit to the farm - judging by some of the videos I've seen he's sounding the best he has for a long long time.

Looking forward to this. Importantly for Liam the new stuff seems pretty good and let's face it the Oasis tunes will bring the metaphorical house down. Would have been ace on the JP but I think The Other will better accomodate those who want to see him.

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
