That's Deichkind alright.

Is that former Cheltenham and Wycombe defender Sido Jombati on the second line for Saturday?

(The real story behind his name - that it’s an acronym for Shitting In Your Ear in German - is much funnier)

Latest Hurricane (and Southside) lineup

Of all the festivals taking place in 2023, this sure is one.

If its coming its a huge self-own not to release it before Xmas. Everyone is skint in January.

I remember back in 2017 a lot of acts announcing shows in January (Killers, U2, someone else who was at Hyde Park that summer whose name escapes me). But I'd be surprised if there's a big raft of people announcing dates in the £100+-a-ticket range this time.

I think we're done now for any major announcements until late Jan.

It certainly would be a surprise if anything big pops up next week, but you never know.

You're not going to get anything announced and on sale this close to Christmas now. Today was probably the last day to try and sell tickets for anything.

Amazing!

I thought all announcements were done for the year but looks like Motownphilly's back again. Couple of dates announced this morning (other one is Manchester). Main on sale is 23rd December.

This is ideal Park headliner material

[northernangel]

If the festival don't grab Cher next year after she made it very clear on the BBC that she would love to play the festival next year it would be mad. I can't think of someone better to take that slot that is still of decent health.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless next year is already booked.

Do they play Piper at the gates of dawn era Floyd?

Yep.... everything from Piper up to Obscured By Clouds.

Not however convinced an appearance on the farm is likely any time soon as I get the sense that there's still bad feeling between remaining members of Floyd, including Nick, over being turned down to play before Rick Wright's untimely death.

I hope I'm wrong however 🤞

They have Echoes on the setlist this year.

Had tickets last year for Mason and the lads but ended up away for it. They play the nicest towns on earth when they tour. Those Italian places.

Arena stuff is getting wild. Depeche Mode had nothing below £100 save for some side-view tickets right in the rafters of the O2, which I just couldn't get enthusiastic about indulging. It's quite something you can get cheaper tickets for West End theatre shows.

Vast majority of gigs, I don't buy tickets right away and wait for cheaper resale. Or do casual bar work for bands I've seen before. Went to first proper show aged 15, hard to pay out in one go now

Yeah I can't see myself initially going in for many gigs because the money is just too much. Hardly anyone I want to see to the cost of £80+ now that I didn't see for £40+ that wasn't a better setlist with better material. It'll be twickets and spending my money on alternative things that are more beneficial.

My local venue has just announced that it needs to raise around 30k in the next few weeks to stay open. It's such a depressing landscape at the moment for small music venues.
