Wizkid is one of the hottest tickets atm - sold out three O2 shows in ten minutes and I thought he confirmed a London outdoor show for next year but a quick google shows it was a mirage. Even the likes of Asake have sold out 3 nights at Brixton in rapid fire. this should sell with relative ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Going crazy in brixton.... apparently a large group of kids rushed into o2 brixton academy for some act called Asake? Never heard of him. But there's around 20 police cars around brixton academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh fair shout, Lucca is a lovely place, less that half an hour from Pisa which has plenty of UK flights. Before or after you could have a few days in Tuscany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah absolute dream booking for me this. That hellfest lineup would be the busiest festival ever for me with regular 3 way clashes, if I wasn’t already at glasto and boomtown I’d go also saw the Brixton trouble, never heard of asake, people blaming the venue but I’ve been there 20+ times and the onl trouble I’ve encountered was pickpockets in the pit. If you don’t have a ticket why should the venue let people in this music just attracts trouble, wireless last year saw loads of similar incidents also I bet the daily mail, sun and other media outlets can’t wait to publish the footage and we all know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreams_burn_down Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Seconding this - amazing album, in my top 5 for the year. The whole thing is knitted together with clever transitions so it almost feels like a mixtape. I didn’t manage to get a ticket for Brixton but would love to see him next year. 8 hours ago, finn_with_1_n said: sidebar: that new Asake album is great if stuff like Afrobeats appeals to you. very good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at Wireless it wasnt even the same crowd wise as whats at Brixton. You had to look really hard to find somebody not white in there. There were memes about it cause the crowd was singing the N word like it wasnt a big deal.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying the media will have a field day with this example, can’t even remember the issues with wireless being reported in the media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Let's not pretend this sort of trouble only happens at "black music" events. Last year hundreds, possibly thousands, of ticketless people were trying to break into Wembley for the Euros final. People for years have been breaking into Glastonbury, something folk on this very forum seem to celebrate. 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan was celebrating last month Blackpink fans jumping over the glasto / BST fences too! while we're here may as well rub in the fact they haven't sold out their BST show 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benali Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Seems like the first 2 gigs of the 3 went off fine, but word got out that people had managed to bunk in so loads turned up for the last gig expecting to be able to do the same.

Bands from the 'punk' stage line-up could certainly cross over to the hell stage. There'll always be room for Tenacious D as an afternoon act on the pyramid. Personally I'd love to see Fishbone and The Cult, and the big dream, Porcupine Tree at Glastonbury, which doesn't seem too much of a stretch.

Quite a sad situation. I cannot bear to even go onto the Daily Fail website to see how they're reporting it. I had never heard of him before, so had his album on this morning. Quite enjoyed it. Certainly could see a decent WH slot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
