Even when I have 0 intention of seeing the act I get unreasonably annoyed when people don't play Manchester. In fact, I get more annoyed if I don't like them coz they're shit and I'm still being dumped, feels like a power move.

And that's my irrational annoyance of the day.

Try living near Belfast! Barely anyone crosses the Irish Sea it seems

If Parklife is Sat/Sun I suppose it isn’t impossible to have a gig there on the Friday given that the stage and infrastructure is all in place.

But unlikely.

You should believe in yourself more

Just saw that - PERFECT for West Holts !

Just perfect in general.  Would be an absolute must see for me!

Do they do festivals?  Might have to get London tickets if not.

Big old gap for the festival rounds in there, but don't see him coming back to GF straight away.  Pretty comprehensive world tour though

[Hugh Jass]

Assuming those UK dates will be arenas?

Yeah, the venues are on his site. It's The O2 for London

 

Curious to see how well these all sell

Thought Stormzy’s word crown said ‘bitch’ there for a second.

You didn’t have to clear that up.

Hard to see what festivals he’d do with those dates. A lot of cancelling out there.

I bet that Accra show will be lit.

I know, I just want to feel like I'm contributing as I've got literally fuck all else to be able to say about it

And yes I know I could have just said nothing but, y'know, Friday

Boardmasters, at a stretch. Plus maybe a few European ones (Spain, and Italy look like obvious omissions).

I mean, the dates set him up well for reading and leeds but it seems odd for him to then go back to leeds a couple weeks later for another gig

[dentalplan]

Slim pickings as usual on the TM Black Friday sales but did notice that there was two-for-one on Beat Horizon; so for <£25 you can get a one-day lineup that includes Yasiin Bey, Talib Kweli, GZA, The Pharcyde, Goldie, Roni Size, Sampa the Great and Jeru the Damaja (but I think it varies) in London and Manchester. Thought hip hop peeps here might be interested in that one.

Maybe he’s doing an Ibiza residency thing again. Worse ways to spend a summer.

Even if Leeds wasn’t there, he’s sapped the demand for R+L.

I assume with that tour he isn't doing R/L. Probably just European festivals BBC festival.

Because he’s probably the biggest rapper of Ghanaian descent, and - if they are as proud of him as he is of his heritage - it should be a big moment.

Right, that makes sense. I've been wanting to go to a show in Africa for a while now, and that does sound ideal. But can't seem to find any info about the venue at all

Woow that’s a long way to go for it. Would be cool tho. Good luck.

I have to admit he’s doing a lot better than I ever expected he would

One of the first acts to get me properly into music (as in, to go beyond just listening to whstever's on the radio), was an African musician. I think my life has changed a lot since I became a "music person", so feels appropriate to someday go to Africa. 

 

But it looks like flights are expensive. Fuck.

First time in Manc for 23 years  

Even longer for Birmingham I believe.
