What was previously under that curated by Alan McGee bit? Looks like the sort of thing you throw on a PowerPoint when it needs updating.

That's how you know Alan McGee is involved.

I was there ages ago so it may have changed since but it looks like a ballroom, it’s 200ish people sized and there was nothing on tap so it’s all bottled beer.

Apparently about 400 for standing gigs, be a lot smaller for a distanced event. It is a ballroom, and all cans/bottles. Last gig I went to before all of this was there... The Hold Steady.

Debut album was released *checks notes* in June 2019.

You're one step away from those Facebook posts of people screaming "WHO REMEMBERS FIDGET SPINNERS?!?!?!?"

Either that or we need to worry about your short term memory

Had live music being allowed this year, who would have been the Black Midi of 2020?

Black Country, New Road in 2019 for me.

2020, who knows. Tiña or PVA, maybe?

There are about six versions of Polyphonic Spree touring at the same time right now

[Avalon_Fields]

Seems to be a few socially distanced gigs coming up now, Yes in Manchester announced two more today. Distanced, numbered seats, drinks orders via the App. I’m tempted, but in truth no one I’d consider seeing in normal times, have to see how desperate I am...

[Gilgamesh69]

Fuck it, am off to see The Black Midis

Yep https://shop.blondie.net/events/bc47f927-ab66-47af-8596-9fd81a28ed29

Bargain.  By which I actually mean "no chance"

[FloorFiller]

Been struggling for Christmas present ideas for the girlfriend so that Blondie/Garbage tour might have been announced at just the right time! Just hope she doesn’t mind waiting 11 months for her present to actually be of use...

[Gilgamesh69]

I don't know about the other venues, but in London the Blondie show is all seated

[Padjeq]

I got the Bring Me The Horizon tickets. About £50 including fees, which I think the last tour was. What an andrenaline rush that was - not felt it since february!

[Hugh Jass]

I had an even bigger rush than T-Day itself earlier... Managed to get my kids a spot to see Father Christmas at the local garden centre. Those things were like gold dust and went immediately.
