A friend of mine just spoke to a promoter in Birmingham and they said they were close to getting the Oh Sees but Bearded Theory didn't want any other Midlands shows.

So the lack of cheese and grain show is a good sign for glastonbury...

Does anyone know the last time they played Glastonbury? I've gone back as far as 2010 and I haven't seen them on any line up. I'd say with those dates they are doubtful unless they head into Europe and then come back in June.

Oh Sees at Bearded Theory is weird. No offence Beardies.

Never have, probably never will.

Not as weird as Blossoms last year.

European tour announcement from Ari includes Dublin, Glasgow, London, Sheffield and Birmingham. Says Manchester isn't on the list yet as they're working on something special. Worth keeping an eye on.

What's the betting that the Manchester show happens to be a couple of months earlier.

The line up just gets better and better, I may even need a Bearded Clashfinder...

these dates had me curious and so I asked a very good mate of mine who is very good friends with KM, and whom I've met through him and got this back 

"If Morby is doing Glastonbury it would be news to him."'

 which is unfortunate

Not entirely on topic, but is Manchester a good place for gigs? Not just huge acts at arenas and stadiums, but little acts too.

I've spent a lot of money this year on travelling to concerts and now I'm thinking it might be a good idea to move closer to the action next year. London has countless concerts but it's too expensive

In short, yes. Countless venues, you'll never be short of gigs to go to.

And what about transport? Do the trams and buses run late? I doubt I can afford to live in the centre

Trams run til about 11.30 or 12.30, depending on line/route. Buses later, some right through the night but again depends on the line route

You'd have to live way out in the sticks to be somewhere where public transport after a gig isn't an option. If you live somewhere with a direct bus, met, or train into town you'll be fine.

Check what transport links are like where you live tho. I used to live by Salford quays and in the daytime my walk to work was 35 mins, but in the nighttime I didn't want to have to walk right through stab central in the dark so I had to get the met, which went right around the houses so it was usually an hour getting home once changing trams and waiting times factored in. Now I live in Failsworth which is about 2 hours walk into town, but the tram takes only about 20 mins and run all day at intervals of about 5 mins.

Nah, Manchester has never really been much of a music city...

[FuzzyDunlop]

Plusses... everyone comes to Manchester. It's rare you can't see someone, no matter the size of act. Gigs are often busy. A wide variety of venues and sizes. I Recommend the Albert Hall and Band on the wall.

Negatives - atmosphere can have an undercurrent nastiness. This isn't just the "oasis" "courteeners" type of gigs either, but it certainly isn't most gigs. Just more than you get in other places.

Lived here all my life and experienced barely any gig nastiness. Opposite actually, everybody wants to chant loudly along at every gig, whether the atmosphere calls for it or not.

Nils Frahm, crowd starts going NANANANANA! along with the toilet brushes, impressive and infuriating in equal measure (I've made this up).

Thanks folks. Any recommendations on neighbourhoods/boroughs? Only ever moved to little towns so a huge city is somewhat intimidating

The Wytches supporting Drenge on their UK tour yh boi

I've always found southern crowds friendlier to be honest. I have lived here all my life (well, in an industrial town just north) - I have experienced a bit of nastiness. I work in the centre and find it rough... but maybe I am just a moaning git!

Yeah Manchester does have a noticeably grubby and sketchy city centre compared to other similar UK cities. In fact I'm just walking through Picadilly Gardens right now and I must say... *Gets violently mugged*

Manchester is great. Lived there for ten years and would happily move back tomorrow we’re it not for my pesky family and job.

Manchester is the best city in the country for numerous reasons. The people, great venues, atmosphere, musical heritage, creativity, history, sport...

I'm from Devon and I try to visit at least half a dozen times a year. I'd do more if it wasn't for the God damn M6.
