When I was on the tail end of a horrendous chest infection and feeling better, i went to see the Manics and nearly got knocked sick by the bass and had to leave.

Thats an excellent and suitably god-killing outcome id say! 

 

I'd just been electrocuted that morning as well. What a day!

The thundering bass of Behemoth caused the contents of my bowels to be forcefully evacuated at a gig once 👍

Did they have a brown note pedal?

Got me beat. I went to go see Frank Turner once with a truly awful flu bug and somehow stayed to the end despite struggling to hear for at least the first half of it.

 

Which given my increasing aversion to going anywhere if I'm unfortunate enough to have covid or a flu bug, I'm kinda surprised I did that to begin with.

I'd probably have stayed away if I'd felt something wrong before I went. It was only when they kicked off that there was even a hint of something still wrong. 

 

Got out of there quite quickly after.

I guess sometimes these things can escalate if one moment all feels ok and then the next it's too much. Plus it may also have been the nature of the affliction and if it's one of those things that has a tail that still gives off residual damage to your system on the way out. I guess it's why, for instance, it's recommended not to exercise too heavily or have an operation after covid just in case.

 

... that last one is relevant tbf given my Dad had to have a hernia operation in December but after we all caught covid 2 weeks before it was meant to be held, the operators said there was a medical rule that meant it had to be pushed back by 2 months.

Got an e-mail that Clairo is doing 2 shows at Eventim Apollo in London in March as part of a tour that also includes Manchester and Glasgow.

 

Could be of interest to moi.

I'm aware, not least as Ticketmaster already has a "limited tickets available" warning for the London dates. It just hadn't been put in this thread as of yet.

Just got an e-mail from Live Nation for Catfish and the Bottlemen playing Cardiff Principality Stadium on August 1st 2025 and Tottenham Stadium in London on August 3rd 2025.

 

Didn't know they were of that size that they could book such shows tbh.

Surely they are nowhere near a stadium sized band 

 

O2/Ally Pally I thought would be too big ....... mental

Who are they supporting?

[balti-pie]

Catfish and the Bottlemen are headlining stadiums and festivals: this is a very strange planet sometimes

Agreed, this blows my mind. They will surely have to have a steller support cast to get anywhere near selling out. 

[Dales]

Pencilling in the Catfish date along with a mesage to check Tickets for Good. 

 

That must be the most surprising announcement in ages, totally mind boggling. i  can't even remember the last time I even saw some one with one of their t-shirts on. Where they ever big?

[finn_with_1_n]

I feel like this Catfish gig is going to be one of those things where I am stunned they have gone for a stadium and think there’s no chance it sells well, and then the next thing I know there’s a second Spurs date announced “due to demand”

I just messaged a friend about this, joking about seat fillers for Christmas! 🤣

Shame the Liverpool venue is the worst one possible.

 

A night in Leeds, with Red Rum Club supporting, is tempting...

I do hope they announce a second date. A second date would be the most nailed on straight to seat fillers gig ever.

[OddRon]

Reckon they got cocky after selling out two nights in Cardiff Castle this year. The thing is, anyone in South Wales/West who wanted to see them, would have just gone to one of those nights.

They'd have to pay us a booking fee to take them off their hands!

Huge for dark fruits fans / university students etc

 

It will have a strong support no doubt to help boost it - obviously not selling out tho
