they’re doing a world tour where they do week-long residencies in one city. and all residencies (I think) consist of a very small venue, a small venue, a big venue and an arena. also these four venues are all the ones they have played in london in the past (except Ally Pally)

Love the first album, what state are they in these days? I'm aware of the first round of line up changes...

It's been a couple of years since I've seen them (and it was at a festival) but they know that a lot of people love the first album and it was reflected in their setlist. TBH I have seen them a few times and am not aware of line up changes as there has always been a few years in between but they've never disappointed.

I'd love to see Bloc Party play a headline slot in the JP tent at some point. I thought they could have in 2019 as they were touring around that time. A setlist that heavily comprised of Silent Alarm and A Weekend in the City would be perfect for the JP.

I don't think they would get a JP headline spot now but yes I'd like to see them. JP book quite big top spots now so second down

Same! Great lineup. Can't wait to see the cribs again - album launch show in Leeds at some point, I'd imagine into next year

The Cribs do have a tour on sale.

I know it’s two nights (currently), but she’s surely too big for Roundhouse. 

She described it as an intimate tour in her press release. After her last tour didn’t sell all that well (or so I’m led to believe) maybe she’s testing the water to see if she’s still a ticket shifter. 

Also, if the rest of her new album is anything like the first single then maybe huge venues just aren’t right this time around. Doubt we’ll be getting any huge glass boxes or similar sizeable stage props, anyway.

Well Radiohead played Roundhouse so whats the big deal about Lorde choosing to do that. Thats what an underplay is all about. I mean you wanna trade with one of the u.s venues that holds 8,000?

I think the intimate tour is referring to her choice not to do arenas in America (for sales reasons). In Europe she’s doing pretty big theatres and even auditoriums and castles so I don’t think she’s got another arena tour up her sleeve for after this one.

Honestly that Castello di Villafranca venue looks awesome. I’d go.

The Roundhouse is the best venue in London, I've seen some massive names play there down the years, including four Glastonbury headliners.

Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Arcade Fire (playing as The Reflektors), QOTSA, Pixies, Paul Simon...

Echo it being the best venue in London, it's just genuinely so good.

    • 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.
