Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[Gucci Piggy]

I've already told ya's they're playing the ZZ Top slot.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They've always been bandied about at WH headliner sort of level, but those prices would seem to rule them out.

[Mardy]

Seems a bit steep for 50% of Steely Dan, but you know. I can’t believe how much Chic were charging this summer. Absolute fucking madness

 

i love the Dan, and if they had an hour long set on the Pyramid and they played their best tunes, they’d knock it out the fucking park. I guess i’d go, but would feel a bit dirty/cheap doing so

[Gnomicide]

Steely Dan? Far too much widdling.

I'd rather watch Steeleye Span*

 

 

 

*not really, both on the skunk eye list.

[Gucci Piggy]

Alright which one of you is updating the AM setlist tonight.

New Order sold Ally Pally out in less than 4 minutes. That's some going. Fair play to see tickets though for starting the sale at 9:30. It allowed everyone who wanted tickets to drop the grandkids off at school first.

Just seen this myself, how much would we say he will be charging for this? Would love to see him.

Saw him about three years ago and prices were in the £40-£90 bracket.

My guess would be £100+ for the seats down the front (excluding the inevitable "super gold mega tier" bollocks) and £60 to sit further back.

Of course with this being his last ever tour he can charge what he wants so it could be a lot more.

Might see how much Hove is.

Think he's a good contender for BST?

Fair play, I don't think I'd mind shelling out £60 for Elton tbh, I know I'd have £60 worth of fun.

Looks like he's busy the two weekends BST usually falls on so unlikely next year.

That said this tour will go into 2020 and I'd put my mortgage on a huge London farewell gig and GF slot in two years time.

Is he still any good live? His voice seems somewhat deeper than it used to be.

Okay now.  Doing a few shows in a row doesn't appear to be an issue either.....

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't wait for Elton to smash out the GOAT legends' slot in 2020.

CalGon's had his meerkat costume ready for years...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Meerkats costumes should be upgraded annually to keep up with whatever's trendy and to minimise the effects of wear and tear.

a few... but she's not doing 6 in a row with the Friday at Glasto, to make it a 9 of 10 nights tour 

 

 

[henry bear]

She could catch the midnight train to Manchester 

[crocodiles]

I thought Gladys last tour was her last one.  Would be a great addition will probably go to Manchester Apollo just to be safe as never got round to seeing her before 

[Avalon_Fields]

Just thinking, Ozzie's 'No More Tours 2' is laugh out loud funny. What's the best tour titles ever??
