Less ambitious tour from Ashcroft this time:

 

It's an intimate tour to preview the new album

Thanks for the clarification

I'm sure I've seen that suit somewhere before.

Though that's not to say he'll move onto much bigger venues than that. It was clear to see he was pushing himself a bit with an arena tour....it did sell I think eventually but took a while, bar possibly Manchester but that's expected.

He shares it with Alex Turner.

I was being cheeky. It's clear from the ad that he's got a new album out and that he's touring smaller venues. Where he goes from here, who knows? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

To get that suit dry cleaned.

Are any efesters going to Shambala? I had such a fun time with @Tommy101 and his friends after accidentally going to the wrong efestivals meet up at Boomtown that I'm super keen to meet some more of you

Sorry to post here, I couldn't find a thread for Shambala!

SOPHIE playing Fabric, 23rd October. Live night rather than club night by the looks of it. Tickets on sale Friday - £18.50

Appaz the London date is a little day festival thing they're curating n all. Should be fun, I'll probs be there.

Sophie sounds very appealing too.

Saw them at the Apollo last year, I will probably try to go the Echo Arena gig but I don't think it'll surpass last years!

Love how from Liverpool upwards it's arenas and from Nottingham (well Llandudno really but who cares about them) downwards all non-arenas.

Anyway the arena dates don't surprise me when you've got the likes of The Wombats and The Kooks playing them in 2018.

I was tempted but the new song is awful.

To be honest it's an academy tour with northern arena dates as that's where they can sell it. I actually think if this sells well they will go on to do a solo outdoor show themselves similar to what Liam has this year.....there is a Manchester gig of any sort missing there and prices right I reckon they could sell 50k tickets with 6 months to sell.

They are well on the way to topping Reading outright.

Oh man, might have to be all over this one. I like the new tune!

[Gilgamesh69]

I dreamt that The Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode both announced gigs at Brixton Academy. Bit disappointed now that I'm awake

Many people have compared it to The Jilted Generation and Experience but to be honest I've not a huge fan. I'm more Fat of the Land, I thought IMD was superb too and there is another one.

It got discussed on the new music thread I think, definitely sounds like something that would be used live to build the hype in the crowd to drop into a banger like Firestarter or similar.  As a standalone it doesn't really go anywhere in itself, but it's really grown on me. Giving serious consideration to the Brighton gig

They were great in Manchester last year...

Oosh.  That is quite the list.

[Tommy101]

Can't make any of the tour dates but will be seeing them (in the pissing rain by the looks of things) on Sunday at Victorious. I'll do my best to report back on how the new stuff is sounding.
