Ok, hands up, who would have predicted that the only person not to cancel a gig in the summer of 2020 would be Sam Fender?

It actually clearly states at the bottom of that poster that there wont be any jazz

Dammit.  This got me checking eGigs again.  Dubioza Kolectiv, BC Camplight and Ought all playing Brighton in November...

We stumbled across Dubious Kolectiv at Boomtown without even knowing about their existence previously. My god, so good!!! Probably the most fun thing I saw the whole weekend - I definitely recommend giving them a go (if you haven't seen them before?)! I think we're planning on seeing them again on the tour too :)

I am going to watch Cancer Bats and then Underworld. I have no idea who Cancer Bats are, what am I letting myself in for?

Human League in Berlin this November as well.

How are The Libertines live? They're headlining a festival in Kent, £27.50 for the day. Not too familiar with any of the other acts but still pretty cheap. They've said it's going to be their last show for the foreseeable future.

 

Worth it?

It's fun enough if your a fan, not sure they're in a state to win too many people over these days though. 

I'd go for it.

It is tempting. I'm sure i'd probably enjoy it after a few drinks anyway. Plus got a lot of friends in Kent so would be a good day out.

 

Why did The Libertines fall in popularity so quickly? 2014 they headlined BST Hyde Park, 2015 they headlined Reading/Leeds, but now they only headline small festivals...

I think it’s because they lost their rarity. Before they reformed for R&L in 2010 they’d had years of being hyped up by NME and I guess as a result they had a lot of newer fans who were maybe too young for them first time around. After Hyde Park, Glastonbury, R&L and TITP I think everyone who really wanted to see them had done so and they seemed to lose a lot of momentum. The last album didn’t really seem to do too well either from what I remember.

They are baaaaad at the moment. Like genuinely awful. They were fine at Glasto a couple years ago but their show at Truck last year was utterly shambolic and the worst headline set I've seen, they could barely hold themselves together.

Cancer Bats are a pretty good hardcore band...although if hardcore isn't your thing it may not be the easiest sell.

I listen to electro pop, disco and Italian House. I was to go to a moshers gig though, just to see what they are like.

Will resist listening to them beforehand and see what it is like on the night. Cheers fella.

lol, someone who has over 1900 rep on a festival forum is a reliable ticket seller suddenly! Jesus!.....that's one person who takes forum rep way too seriously and needs to get out more! 

No offence, but I would have more confidence than buying off someone with over 2k minus points...

Why does what a person rep is a bloody festival forum dictate what kind of seller they are?, if it does then there is something wrong?

I had tickets and was selling them face value on here, I've sold tickets face value on gum tree or whatever but let's not forget....maybe they should check a forum rep with silly vote up/vote down feedback from people they don't even know before hand. Think about it for a second!

It was an utterly terrible output to be fair. As is said when they were about originally they were a 3rd down main stage act at best, they've just returned to that to be honest if not less so and are well aware they've aired it to where they can.

They also chucked out an arena tour which sold well enough I guess after two ally pally dates. Fairplay to them they jumped on the hype and Glasto sub is something they'd have broke their necks to get to and bhlate transport basically did as they know they'd have never got offered to headline it.

I wouldn't trust someone who publicly wears blackface to sell me tickets tbf.

Speaking of The Libertines I was listening to Anthems For Doomed Youth the other day. I maintain that it’s actually very good, far better than it had any right to be, it shits all over their terrible second album.

As a live proposition these days, yeah not so good. Agree with what was said above that the hype around their return has worn off and they’re just playing to diminishing returns now.

      R&L 2027

      By northernangel · Posted

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
