It's like they say: in Birmingham, we've got more rats than Venice, and you're never more than 5 metres from a canal.

Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival returns in Houston, TX this November. Really need to try and get out to this one, the lineups are very good!

I'd expect new album will be this year also to coincide.

Hate to break it to you but it went on sale last week and sold out in an hour. And you wont get the line up til you practically walk into the gates.

'London's Opening Night' seems to be the selling point. I dare say that James wouldn't be getting this type of gig if it wasn't marketed as a first night of freedom.

That's not my point though. Unless I'm way out on the capacity. I just don't see this gig happening

Yep, I have a friend who lives in Atlanta who got a couple spare tickets, so I'm waiting until closer to the time to see what the latest with travel is. You're totally right about the lineup, the most notice I've seen was a couple of days!

If he does a world tour perhaps next year, I'll 100% be going. I saw him at the o2 in July 2019 and it was incredible.

I know it’s not your point. It was my point, in reaction to yours. 😛

Maybe it won’t go ahead on that date but they’re aiming for that date because the closer the show is to lifting restrictions, the more certain it will be to sell due to pent up demand.

They know the risk but promoters have to book these types of shows with the optimism that it’ll go ahead or else they miss out on the money that is on the table for ‘opening night’ shows.

A lot of hype around these guys, but they were really quite poor when I saw them pre-lockdown. I'm hoping to catch them again at a fest on a good day, rather than buying tickets to another of their gigs.

Do they still do that one that sounds like a van reversing?

Be hilarious if they didn’t.

That's a shame to hear! I haven't got to see them since they played The National day at APE which was an age ago and the album was one of my favourites last year so think I'll cop a ticket

Think the music took care of that.

It’s 18 months away so you’ll have plenty of time to be watching and waiting.

That song is still a grand slam , for what it’s worth. Iconic.

Annoyingly, it's basically the same dates from the tour that was already rescheduled & then canned. Ticket agents kept the booking fees (of course). Now we have to rebook for the same venue, face value is higher & we have to pay the booking fees again.

Ah yes. I saw 2022 then November just made me think this year.

Or the curmudgeonly Northern Irish singer who’s decided to get vaccinated after all

Felt the same when I saw them support Shame. It was like I was watching their first gigs. They were dead in the water before the headliners and Fontaines DC blew them out of it.

And no sign of an apology.

Really happy with that!
