So basically Werchter have moved their festival forward a week to book these. I think they're booked their for Sunday this year and from past history of play 6 times and 3 in 12 years they sell the tickets, this would be 4 in 19 years. Monkeys played this year, Macca only played in 16 and as said it didn't sell out...it was Thursday but he's huge enough to sell it...I've known others that have. I also personally didn't see it being the most solid year, their dip maybe if you like. Kendrick, it would be two summers after release of Damn and I don't think either Werchter or Glasto will go for that...Glasto would certainly want it when it's new and fresh and he did Puckelpop this year on a 2nd year. Also Stormzy isn't going to headline after never playing Werchter anyway. 

I think Florence would get booked again for both already but I'm unsure a fest would move for her....she does sell well though.

Woah, looks like you had a random rabble moment there!

I see everyone's favourite earnest ginger chimp has more dates next summer. Has he got something new coming or will this be three summers plugging the same album?

Mick Hucknall?

3 members of Take That with such a huge arena/stadium tour still. They can get in the sea.

Seems perfectly clear to me.

My wife and her friends have already started a whattsapp group to organise going. It will sell with ease. Sadly.

Yeah I don't doubt it'll sell well. They just need to stop

Would it be a different story if Robbie was one of the three? ?

4 would be more of a draw, especially with Robbie, but just over half of them?

It's like Genesis but without Phil Collins (any band can be improved by the omission of Phil Collins, to be fair)

Brian Eno and John Cale would beg to differ.

Anyone going to Spiritualized tonight?

My Young Fathers Manchester ticket just arrived and I have ticket number 1. The first ticket going. Numero Uno. This has never happened to me before, surely it entitles me to some sort of super fan special prize?

It means that an angry man in a snappy blazer is trying to ascertain your identity as we speak, only to find his efforts stymied by an irritating giant white balloon.

Interesting. For their concerts in Amsterdam, they've steadily been downgraded through the years. With 5 members, they were at the 60,000 capacity stadium. With 4, they were at the 16,000 capacity Ziggo Dome. This time, the 3 remaining members are at the 5,000 capacity Afas Live.

I figure two more tours until it's just Gary Barlow, busking at the Dam Square.

Think they were touring the UK, around the time of GF 2017; thankfully there seems little chance of them playing at present although I wouldn’t be surprised if they did the legends spot in another 10 years or so.

That'll be because the booking page was put up on here a few days early, somebody found it just by trawling See, and it was listed as a Deaf Institute gig. I'll check mine when I pick them up, reckon I'll be like 2 and 3 or summat.

Yeah I got tagged in a post linking it and blindly bought one instantly. Still a little gutted it moved from deaf but it'll be good either way, see you all there.

Spotted Slash is in Glasgow with the Myles Kennedy fella early next year.

Not in the Hydro so thought I’d maybe take it in. Not at £55 though.

£55?!

He's playing Doncaster on the same tour. Can't even fathom what the local reaction to those prices are.

Visited YES for the first time yesterday, gonna be some great gigs and nights there when they work out the kinks, bit annoying that sound problems limited Lets Eat Grandma to 3 songs (didn't even play Hot Pink in the pink room, missed opportunity)  but it was all free so it's chilled. Hopefully when the hype dies down the bar queues won't be so mad. Exciting anyway.

Hopefully I'll be checking it out tonight before the League of Gentlemen at the Apollo. Photos look great on twitter.

 

Won some tickets to Jess Glynne at the Albert Hall tomorrow so might bob down for that one.
