Just a band who’s popularity I would’ve expected to have somewhat waned by now, but they’re still playing (and selling out) arenas pretty regularly and getting number 1 albums, and if anything more popular than ever, whilst other bands of their ilk slip down the Kendall Calling lineup year on year.

Gonna be a must see on the Park. Maybe they’ll be even better next time if she doesn’t have a 10 minute random rabble moment about planes or some shite.

Decided Liam was the best option... ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY QUID to stand!!! I know it's for charity but fucking hell!! I did exactly the same. Couldn't quite believe it - I know its for charity and they've missed out on a couple of years so good luck to them but that's too much for me. I had stalls tickets for Noel doing TCT in 2020 which got cancelled, just as the pandemic was kicking off, and paid £90 for that - not cheap by any means but a 50% hike for the (in my opinion) less talented brother is steep. At least with The Who show you could kind of say the acoustic element adds something away from the normal if you're a fan...but again not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam just has legacy and a dose of 'charisma' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sold out though so people are obviously happy to pay. The pricing decision has been made by the TCT given the other gigs are priced the same. Can't see many people shelling out those amounts for Madness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I'm sure the sound is great just wonder what the atmosphere is like. Depends a lot on who your seeing but I feel like seeing AM there would be a bit weird - if I saw them at a small venue i'd want it to be more like Brixton i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the lucky few in the relatively small standing section though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 It’s just a shame Arctic Monkeys turned that Royal Albert Hall gig into the worst live album of all time. Should have just deleted the tracks from the phone it was all recorded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 3rd down on The other stage. Must admit tonight’s show was really slick and enjoyable after being starved of gigs for so long . Good that there was plenty standing rather than all seated.

They are especially known to be inflated, even I paid way over for Biffy Clyro there than I would at a standard gig of theirs. But given some of the acts that have played there, I wanted to finally go and that's probably as good as I could have hoped for. If i hadn't been, I'd have not paid this years prices though.
