Asking for a lot there pal!

Ok, hands up, who would have predicted that the only person not to cancel a gig in the summer of 2020 would be Sam Fender?

It actually clearly states at the bottom of that poster that there wont be any jazz

Think the cheapest was about £75 inc fees, then £94, £110, £133 and £160.

 

The frustration there is that while it will be a pristine pop show, it is also purely on-rails and pretty short for what you'd hope - a well-drilled ninety minutes, fat-free but without much more beyond it.

 

If he was carting the full orchestra around with him for it, then sure. But they're still prices that, for what you get, are pretty soft.

 

Supports in the USA included Rooney just doing forty-five minutes. You're not exactly getting plenty of tuneage for those prices - and I say that as somebody who loves ELO.

That said, Oasis may well be ninety and nothing more - though I'd be shocked if you didn't get another ninety combined between Ashcroft and Cast.

Oasis will be close to two hours with top support. There is noother reformation I can think of I'd have paid that for. And before the main sub was added I was considering selling.

Absolutely not a good thing but it's your taste. No hand currently put would get that money without closer seats and standing. Oasis is a rarity but bigger deal

I don't even want to calculate what I've spent on gigs for next year so far. McCartney in December, Springsteen in May and ELO in July, plus Oasis though I agree their price is what it is, supports I love as well

You won't regret it.  As you crack on in life you only ever really regret the gigs you didn't go to.

Got ELO, went for upper tier at the back and got some for £94 all in. If I'd wanted, could've got floor or lower tier, with prices up to £160. but all seemed to be going quickly. 

Well, I think it's official - I'm never going to be able to afford to see a 'big' band/artist ever again! Small gigs only for me now!

Echo these sentiments. Regret not taking Motorhead when I had the chance. Did get tickets for a later run, but that was the one that was understandably canned.

      2027 Stage Predictions

      Elastica posted last night teasing a return, wonder where they would play if they reformed?

      I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining

      All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.

      Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.

      Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
