Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

ffs, Knocked Loose in london is a bloody sunday night! f**ked for trains home, its impossible 😐

[DDave]

I was at Aviva Studios in Manchester for Johnny Marr last night. In the foyer they had random mirror balls put up, very reminiscent of LCD Soundsystems first album. Might be nothing but could definitely see them doing a couple of nights there in the summer. Did ask and the mirror balls have only been put up recently.

Hmm, mixed feelings probably tainted by lots and lots of crowd chatter - people talking through a whole song to then be quiet and applaud it when it finishes - drove me crazy. Its far bigger than I thought it would be and should be a good venue when they've ironed out the teething problems. Main issues are just getting around the place -  you enter from the side at the back which means people naturally gravitate to the right hand side of the stage making it more cramped that side than it needs to be. I recommend walking past the self service bar (that's another story - no phone/wifi signal means it wasn't always working properly) and getting a spot to the left side of the room.

Good points - downstairs (manned) bar is large, didn't take too long to get served and is reasonably priced - can't sniff at 4 quid for a pint of Amstel these days, and staff were great.

In short, better than the Academy and Victoria Warehouse but still room for improvement. Sound and lighting was great. Really high ceiling though which probably took a bit away from the atmosphere.

Thanks for that, great knowledge about going down the left side, we'll definitely do that to get further forward. DMA's will likely be a bit more rowdy!

£4 Amstel sounds great, will just stick to the downstairs bar!!

Funnily enough I was with a massive Everton fan at the gig, think he was more happy with the result than the concert lol

This guy has gone from me never having heard of him to suddenly headlining festivals and arenas and no in between.

Dunno, but he’s had a haircut to avoid being recognised😉

Paolo was also about this year but wasn't booked.

haha I love that. Following a result at a gig is always funny. My best one was Neighbourhood Weekender trying to stream the last game of last season in front of the stage when Sea Girls were on!

Had no idea he was big enough to play a stadium the size of Thomond Park in Limerick.

I've never forgiven Everton fans for ruining a Dave Lee Roth gig in Liverpool on the evening of the brown paper bag incident against Wimbledon. Chants of Everton Everton Everton between every song.

I feel like he’s been continually linked for the past 4-5 years.

In fact, didn’t he play a secret set last year?

He’s due a bit spot either way.

That's going back a long time! 

I definitely avoid chants or any outward football related stuff at gigs or festivals even if im following a game. Hate all that

My friend's still waiting on them to come back to the Milton Keynes Bowl after a planned date there in 2020 fell through because 2020 things.

Though wouldn't be a surprise if its just arenas or whatever.
