Africa just came on the radio and I realised how brilliant a mass drunken singalong it would be. You'll find the opportunity to have a mass drunken singalong to it somewhere anyway.

radioahed Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 If anyone would like two tickets to see Palace Winter at the Brudenell for free in Leeds next Tuesday (30 October) then let me know. Mate has had to drop out due to work so not fussed coming from hull on my own and can't drag anyone else to come. Sorry if not the best thread for this.

Tend to agree that it's unlikely and as much as I would love to see them I kind of think they don't deserve it for always chasing the money i.e IOW a few years ago.

Now she’s clocking Sheeran or Coldplay levels of demand, and people are still talking about her playing the Ellie Goulding slot at Glastonbury. It’s definitely surprising.

Oh I missed that she'd done V badly, OK well she's just the comeback kid then ain't she, or else she's rich enough to have bought all the tickets to her shows herself just to look good enough to bag a high Glasto spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Pink's been a touring force to be reckoned with for years now. She's got a huge, wide-reaching audience made up largely of the sort of people that won't go to festivals. I'm not at all surprised by the amount of ticket's she's sold. I think she could have sold even more if the tour had been announced when she was promoting What About Us and the album last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was largely promoted that Ticket-disaster was the place to buy them, however, See Tickets also had a pre-sale, so I directed people there and they managed to get them. Even though I didn't manage to get a Glastonbury ticket with them this year (yet), they are by far the best ticket outlet in my opinion. Ticketmaster just went to a holding page for a good few hours with no updates being provided. I'm hoping for the good-will to come back round in April.....

Or maybe they just don't go to V (I mean, not surprising), which could explain her not doing well there. There's plenty of excitement on here for her possible showing at G tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 3 hours ago, McCor said: Do we think Emily has said Fleetwood Mac aren't booked, with the view of having to let them sell out the tour before announcing them? If she was evading a direct question about them then maybe, but to announce, without prompting, that they, Madonna and Led Zeppelin wouldn’t be doing it seems pretty definite. She made a similar announcement in late 2016 ruling out The Stone Roses and someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time i'm aware of her ruling out an act who then headlined was Stevie Wonder. I've asked her about that and she assured me that he wasn't in the frame to play at the time she said it.

Yes it'd have to be the Friday with her other dates, and that'd be four nights in a row and she's not doing more than two in a row anywhere else - not really looking that likely. Maybe 2020 if she fancies a one-off, but this tour's making it less likely for next year I reckon, not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same interviewer then mentioned that she didn't play festivals and Emily didn't say much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
