Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[1986]

@NorthernSoul52 I do love how you always post the flyers in this thread. Reminds me of my youth of actually seeing tours in magazines. It makes bands I hate or have not even heard of look more exciting. 

 

Where do you get them from?

Agreed, I never really know where to look to see dates or catch them too late for tickets, so this is awesome!

I know it was stereotyped for years about The Courteeners primarily being a band for the north but the fact they're doing 5 arenas and Brixton is kinda funny.

 

I know there's scope for more Brixton shows, but still.

£43.40 including all fees to see Courteeners at Brixton in November 2021.

 

Based on £65 for Glasgow and Birmingham on this tour, it's going to be £70 for Brixton in 2024.

 

If so, that's going to be the face value ticket price going up 100% in three years.

I guess if you enjoy going to gigs the inflation is a bit of a killer. I've noticed the price increases to be honest. Smaller bands still reasonable enough price wise

Yeah. It was already noteworthy even before 2020, and then since lockdown, it's just gone nuts.

Fairly lengthy UK tour for Bob Dylan in Oct / Nov

I know it's low down in the many mysteries and vagaries of his Bobness, but I'll never understand his touring venues/schedule. 2 years ago doing the Palladium (just over 2000 capacity), followed by an enormodome in Dublin. This time the RAH with double that, Nottingham Arena which is huge (10,000?) and Bournemouth International Centre. Like I say, small beer, but still bewildering. Reckon I'll pass this time though. Over the last 35 years I've seen Dylan four times and it's ranged from the sublime to the godawful. Last time was in the sublime category. Reckon I'll stick with that.

Definitely going to try for the Usher Hall, but it probably won't be an easy purchase.

Got talked into going to this at the Usher in few weeks. Still PLENTY of beanbags available.

Played a stadium in Kilkenny in 2019. Neiler supporting granted.

 

No Irish date yet, may travel. Pity the RAH are weekdays.

 

Hes really giving the German market a good seeing to this time.

Amazed that she's arena level, but I guess that's where being Taylor's protege gets you.

My daughter, who's a massive fan, and I have been discussing for a while if, when she came to London, she'd end up at Hammersmith or Ally Pally. We're both astonished that the correct answer was the O2. Like you say, she's riding some pretty famous coattails.

24 dates, 9 of which in the UK. Certainly younger acts have done shorter tours.

 

Worth noting that it's also a "no phones while Bob is on stage" rule according to a piece in Metro.

Well clearly I'm not as well versed in his live act to know that this is what he had as a standard policy.

I mean, I don't think these are big venues in Hull and Newcastle either. Seems to be small venues in England but a higher level up in Scotland.

Just want to give some general appreciation - this thread is where I get probably 80% of my gig news, it's fantastic

That hull venue is 3.5k - about 3x as big in a city with 40x less people!

 

while not as extreme the newcastle one is 2k as well in another much smaller city

 

That Hull one sounds mad on paper, its not even particularly close to many other major metro areas.
