Stupid question but did those tours include the other places they're doing this tour?

Kaiser Chiefs one of those bands who have remained insanely popular among people who get all their music off of Saturday morning football shows

Its kinda crazy. You take the name off of that tour and you show that to anyone in this forum and most people would say who ever it was would be a smaller Pyramid headliner/strong other headliner, but then we'd all laugh when it was Kaisers.

To be fair just shows yet again how we're not as in touch as we like to think we are.

Maybe them subbing Foo Fighters in 2017 wasn’t such a wild shout after all.

While thats true, it also shows that just because a band is doing a large tour of the UK, doesn't mean they'll always be a headliner/high up position. Kaisers 3rd from top on Pyramid, after the legends slot would be a great party(not suggestion this year) but anywhere closer to the top and people would laugh. 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Kaisers’ last Glasto slot was 5th down the Other Stage in 2017, btw. The year that dentalplan kept trying to convince us they were gonna sub.

Edit: Two slots below Wiley and the same slot as Glass Animals and Kodaline on the other days.

Kaiser Chiefs would go down like a house on fire in a Pyramid sub slot, in exactly the same way Noel Gallagher will. Not that I think it’ll happen though (or should).

Silly prices, Hyde Park and no Charlie. 

[jannybruck]

My flatmate works at an arena and they are a lot more flexible now in terms of bookings post-covid, and are likely to get stuff in that may be a bit ambitious on paper. Venues are much more amenable to part-selling arenas (or building sections out if ticket sales are good), and promoters are fine with doing discount tickets or throwing out freebies nearer the time because ultimately it gets people through the door buying booze and food and merch. They did this with a couple of pop acts recently whose pre-sales were sluggish (Steps, The Wanted) and it worked really well.

I can't imagine Kaisers will sell out many of these arenas but everyone will make money out of it and it's a great look for them.

Deafheaven doing a Uk/Europe autumn tour, but no UK dates yet. Apart from one at a Manchester festival but that's during Glastonbury, goddamnit.

Anyone else at the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester tonight? Looks like it's going to be a big one.
