Maybe like 3rd down Pyramid if he's too big for West Holts. Is he likely to be touring again next summer anyway? Yeah I thought the same, and I was also gonna suggest maybe 3rd down Pyramid or something if he's too big for WH. No idea whether he's likely to still be about next Summer. I guess the fact he's in Europe around Glasto time this year probably counts against that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think he'd have that selling power as a solo artist. yeah, he's having some major revived popularity at the mo. I remember the day I saw him in a 120 person venue in London. Bloody kids, getting into music I like and spoiling things. Edited June 12, 2018 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the fact he's in Europe around Glasto time this year probably counts against that happening. his last 2 major solo tours have taken in European summers twice over 2 years, at the start and end. Not sure if that's going to happen this time or not - tho it looks less likely to me with him having announced a 2nd set of UK dates for the autumn. Can't really see him coming to the UK for 3rd time on this tour (particularly if those arenas don't sell) but I guess it'll depend on how long the tour goes on for.

Was gonna say "or Other sub" in that post but didn't because of how Radio One-y it's become in recent years. But then they had PJ Harvey sub it in 2016 of course so I guess it's not ridiculous. 2 minutes ago, eFestivals said: his last 2 major solo tours have taken in European summers twice over 2 years, at the start and end.

Yeah that's a good point to be fair. I guess right now I'd say it's more likely that he doesn't play next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be in a similar raft to Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem and New Order; all of whom weren't so long ago? But yeah I don't think he'll be playing next summer either. If he is I think he must be in contention with the above, given how big his toru is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he was in that ballpark but then again the whole point of my post was that those tour dates look like he's bigger than I was thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Mmmm the shows next week were a bit pricey for me but that arena date is definitely tempting if I can pick one up cheap somewhere. Would love to see those big Talking Heads songs live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) His 2018 setlists are pretty consistent! Looks like you'll pretty much be able to guarantee what you'll get 1 This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (Talking Heads song) 50 Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads song) 50 Here 50 Burning Down the House (Talking Heads song) 50 Toe Jam (Brighton Port Authority cover) 50 I Zimbra (Talking Heads song) 50 Slippery People (Talking Heads song) 50 I Dance Like This 50 Everybody's Coming to My House 50 Every Day Is a Miracle 50 11 Blind (Talking Heads song) 49 12 Lazy 47 Hell You Talmbout (Janelle Monáe cover) 47 14 The Great Curve (Talking Heads song) 46 15 Like Humans Do 45 I Should Watch TV (David Byrne & St. Vincent cover) 45 17 Dancing Together 44 Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) (Talking Heads song) 44 19 Doing the Right Thing 43 Dog's Mind 43 21 Bullet 42 Edited June 12, 2018 by Quark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the fact he's in Europe around Glasto time this year probably counts against that happening. guess it depends on what offers he gets. If he gets an offer for primavera, i could see him building a european festival tour around that. More likely a headline slot for blue dot or field day id say though than glasto Edited June 12, 2018 by zahidf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseboy11 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Tempted by those David Byrne dates but skint at the moment, Cardiff Arena isn’t particularly big but surely he’s not selling that out straight away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I was blown away by the setup and performance on this tour, and I’d class myself as barely a Talking Heads fan, never mind his solo stuff. That Monae cover at the end is immense. Seriously considering getting tickets for Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Do you not think she'd take a hits-based approach for a (hypothetical) Glastonbury set? I struggle to imagine anything other than an endless flow of pop bangers. And American Pie *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Honestly who knows. In an ideal world it'd be wall to wall bangers, but in reality if she agrees to do it we'll pretty much get what setlist we're given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
