Again. Miles isn’t topping the charts anymore. You’re linking fab pop acts which are no longer the zeitgeist who have gone in their own direction less bothered about commercial success.

I mean, she had 2 top 10s of that album - she might not be A tier but she is pretty solidly B tier

Does anyone have an idea what gigs could fill the gap in her tour between 02.06. and 07.06.? Maybe additional dates in the Roundhouse or Northside festival in Denmark (although Roskilde would make sense too, if she does Glastonbury/Werchter)

Reckon she's doing the Werchter, Rosklide, Glastonbury trio.

Thinking of going for the Roundhouse now instead of Manchester. Midweek is a pain, but seems like it will be worth the extra effort overall.

Are we thinking these tickets will be tough to get? I was expecting to waltz up to the pre sale tomorrow and have no issues, but starting to get anxious now!

All the limited vinyl disappeared in seconds, which suggests there's some sort of demand out there...

Fingers crossed then...These shows should be phenomenal, and getting tickets in the bank also frees up any potential Glastonbury anxiety.

o2 Priority was/is very easy, still loads of tickets available. The Pre-sale will possibly be more difficult but think you'd be fine if you're committed to getting them. General sale on the other hand will be tough I think.

I keep forgetting my wife has it but checked on the off chance - and lo and behold....

Thanks for the reminder about O2 priority as well! My partner is on O2 so managed to bag a ticket for Usher Hall also!! Saves attempting the pre-sale and general sales later this week 🤩

I think these shows will be great, but I have a sneaky feeling that the setlist will look something like this:

Solar Power

Ribs

Royals

Maybe, but my hunch is this is the kinda tour where there would be some massive casualties. Maybe even Royals/Green Light. Could be like some of those Radiohead gigs where the only vaguely popular song they do is Idioteque or something. Everything else is new material or deep cuts.

That's so true, as artists grow you get some absolute gems that are missed unless the sets are massive.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
