Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[priest17]

Shocking how no one mentioned Manchester's best bar Big Hands in a conversation about pubcrawls and the academy.

Looks like Doves touring next year. Bolted on for Glasto..?

Hmm, if they have a Leeds date they could well be the first gig ticket I've bought since lockdown started.

I'm really struggling to get excited about gigs at the moment though due to everything going on. Even things being announced for next year I don't jump at through fear it might not happen. It's a real problem when live music is such a large part of who you are,

Surprised Doves didn’t play last year when they were first on the comeback trail.

I figure the gigs will happen eventually... and when they do I’ll be there.

Saw them at tramlines and the were tight, really good and looked like they enjoyed themselves as well.

I caught them supporting Chic at Eden Sessions last year and I thought it was a superb booking however it didn't help them shift tickets at all the place wasn't even half full and no one there looked like they had even heard of Doves it was a really strange atmosphere during their set.

They were great at Victorious last year, would love to see them at their own gig.

I've only heard a couple of tunes, but this could be worth a punt given the size of the venues. 

Edit: put them on and realise more than a couple have been on 6 a lot. Think this could be a lot of fun.

I had no idea Big Hands was still around!  Haven't been in since a stude 20 damned years ago

Latitude Festival announcing acts on Friday, will give us a gold idea of what kind of acts are around as they have several crossovers like Haim, Charli XCX, La Roux, Phoebe Bridgers and Celeste 

[The Nal]

Cant find a thread for it, anyone done the Red Rooster festival before?

Saw them at the Castle and Falcon in brum over a year ago. They hurtled through their set in about 28 minutes and left a room a quarter full (but 100% older men) absolutely screaming for an encore. They're great.

Yeah it's basically just The North + London isn't it?

Just got an email the Big Moon have rescheduled their Glasgow October gig to the 1st of March 2021.

Something to look forward too, hopefully things are back to normal by then.

I got a feeling they'll be swinging round the UK a few times in 2021.

I booked Streets, gutted about that. They said due to localised lockdown but people think its sales.

I also booked Libertines at the Newcastle social distance one, bet that will follow. this is never ending, making me doubt Glasto that little bit for the first time.
