If its coming its a huge self-own not to release it before Xmas. Everyone is skint in January.

Feels like they've got the kind of audience that will find the money for that show (or put it on credit cards if needs be).

Until a few years ago, late January (ie targetting the end of the month pay packet, and with the dust settled on Christmas) and February was almost the standard for announcing big summer gigs and festivals so I don't think they'll feel uncomfortable holding an announcement until then. Though yeah in the past few years it's tended to be (much) earlier than that.

That's Deichkind alright.

Is that former Cheltenham and Wycombe defender Sido Jombati on the second line for Saturday?

(The real story behind his name - that it’s an acronym for Shitting In Your Ear in German - is much funnier)

Of all the festivals taking place in 2023, this sure is one.

I remember back in 2017 a lot of acts announcing shows in January (Killers, U2, someone else who was at Hyde Park that summer whose name escapes me). But I'd be surprised if there's a big raft of people announcing dates in the £100+-a-ticket range this time.

I think we're done now for any major announcements until late Jan.

It certainly would be a surprise if anything big pops up next week, but you never know.

You're not going to get anything announced and on sale this close to Christmas now. Today was probably the last day to try and sell tickets for anything.

Amazing!

I thought all announcements were done for the year but looks like Motownphilly's back again. Couple of dates announced this morning (other one is Manchester). Main on sale is 23rd December.

This is ideal Park headliner material

[northernangel]

If the festival don't grab Cher next year after she made it very clear on the BBC that she would love to play the festival next year it would be mad. I can't think of someone better to take that slot that is still of decent health.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless next year is already booked.

Do they play Piper at the gates of dawn era Floyd?

Yep.... everything from Piper up to Obscured By Clouds.

Not however convinced an appearance on the farm is likely any time soon as I get the sense that there's still bad feeling between remaining members of Floyd, including Nick, over being turned down to play before Rick Wright's untimely death.

I hope I'm wrong however 🤞

They have Echoes on the setlist this year.

Had tickets last year for Mason and the lads but ended up away for it. They play the nicest towns on earth when they tour. Those Italian places.

Arena stuff is getting wild. Depeche Mode had nothing below £100 save for some side-view tickets right in the rafters of the O2, which I just couldn't get enthusiastic about indulging. It's quite something you can get cheaper tickets for West End theatre shows.

Vast majority of gigs, I don't buy tickets right away and wait for cheaper resale. Or do casual bar work for bands I've seen before. Went to first proper show aged 15, hard to pay out in one go now
