Can't help feeling The War on Drugs and Future Islands will look a little confused there, but hey ho.

Real Estate, Paul Cauthen and Morgan Wade also decent on that bill.

If what we've been told is true then she can only be supporting Olivia instead and it's not someone I'd think of as an Olivia support.

Hahaha, ELO for Hyde Park? The very definition of optimism. 

You don’t think it’ll sell out?

[NorthernSoul52]

ELO sell out BST, surely?

Got a 60k+ crowd to Wembley in 2017 according to reviews at the time, and given this has the big "last one" billing, I assume it'll get a few thousand buying on that tag alone.

[NorthernSoul52]

That Cruel World lineup is terrific.

What have we been told?

[NorthernSoul52]

Kind of wild to think AM would support OR - but it is a massive carrot for those who were forced to wait in Manchester, I guess.

Essentially someone with bst info has suggested Olivia is doing bst Glastonbury Friday and it's Alanis' only likely day

[NorthernSoul52]

I cannot see AM as a sub, but maybe third or fourth?

As in "I'm feeling very optimistic that ELO will sell out Hyde Park"?

 

Their tour that they cancelled due to COVID had several sold out shows, it's been 6-7 years since they had a UK show, and this (for once) is almost guaranteed to be their last ever show given Jeff doesn't like performing live.

[NorthernSoul52]

For a man who doesn't like performing live, he does tend to do it quite a bit. Was surprised at the extent of this US leg.

I imagine money helps. Plus the massive lull in touring before he revived the band in 2014, the 5 year gap since his last dates and the thought of true retirement afterwards.

Since Jeff restarted the brand 10 years ago I haven’t bothered seeing them - thought it would be bland and boring. A few years ago I watched the Wembley show on Sky Arts and was bowled over. Will be getting tickets for BST

[NorthernSoul52]

It's got a bit of lushness to the sound. Saw them on the first run in Newcastle and then the second in Leeds. Lovely shows, though I'll probably pass on this finale run unless the wider UK tour onsale is comfortably delayed until the new year.

I reckon there will be arena dates beforehand too, similar to Stevie Nicks this year.

That's definitely a case of difference interests. I'll give you New Order and Garbage. The battered in two forms haha
