Well, that Idles ticket buying experience was almost as bad as Glastonbury, actually started off worse in that I got a 'busy' page with a 20 second timer, then a couple of refreshes later, 'No tickets available'! No indication of whether any would be coming back on sale, and then a new date added, which didn't bode well, and also sold out immediately. Kept plugging away and got what I wanted eventually, but blimey - perhaps too many savvy T-Day veterans on there...

It does show how incredibly popular they are right now - should have been playing Brixton rather than the Electric Ballroom.

I was surprised when they first announced the tour that they were still playing relatively small venues. Probably one of the last times we'll get the opportunity to see them in venues this size if they carry on gaining popularity at the pace they are currently

Was in Albert Hall the other night and all’s I could think was “fuck me Idles are gonna destroy this place”. The little mosh pits that night had the joint rattling.

It survived Death Grips so should be alright. Just ahah. 

Mad how far they've come in a couple of years, playing to around 100 people, if that, when I saw them December '16. Fanbase is only gonna grow as well seemingly, I'm exposed to a lot of fans being in the facebook group (which, credit where its due, is lovely) and they've really captured something in both younger and older people alike in a way a lot of acts they seem to get compared to on here haven't. Good on 'em.

I'm taking my 60 year old dad to the Camden gig. He can't wait.

Yup, don't think there's any doubt now.

So that's all three headliners and the legend wrapped up and it's not even December yet!

Still waiting/hoping for the usual inevitable fork in the road that messes up everybody's headliner predictions, but alas I think it may be false hope this time. Hopefully the undercard will have some surprises across it. More excited for Kylie than anything else at the moment (although I love Kylie so that's no small feat).

Yep that has to be Kylie as TBC I'd reckon, That's good news though as she will have a good crowd and has plenty hits to keep them happy.

I'm just confused as to the Spice Girls and their reaction to the Glasto question on the radio, they sound so disingenuous with their response unless they are one of the headliners and they have kept it quiet or they are holding out for 2020, either way I couldn't believe a thing they ever said if they answered it like that.

Our best hope is Bob falling off a stage a couple of weeks before.

    • 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.
