Is it really a dealbreaker? It’s not like there would otherwise be circle pits and crowd surfers.

The last time I saw the Who in Glasgow,  it was all seating, but I don't think a single person sat down during the duration of the show.

Last years Who show was a sell out but they lowered the prices to buy one get one free. So im guessing many people who paid 100quid may not spring immediately for tickets this year. I say many i mean me.

I hope you're right. I'd really like to hear the new album first before I decide if I want to spend so much to see them.

Yeah I'd rather it wasn't there, not much change from £50 I'm guessing here

Had no idea they were still popular enough for that.

To be fair they did play arenas on their last proper tour, last year was some smaller venues. I'd rather it was Wembley Arena as easier to get to. I nearly went to Download in 2014 for the Friday but was already going Saturday.

There is a new track off thr album on youtube etc. Ball and Chain. Its ok. Its not groundbreaking but much better than i feared. When they played Wembley this year you still had the usuals but a few odd different ones thrown in - eminence front etc. And 2 new tracks. People still used these as toilet breaks though. Im conflicte. Cant afford it. Seen them 9/10 times but its going to be their last time soon. Its my fear of missing out more than my want to see them i think. Cant justify it at all tomorrow but trying to think of ways of getting money in the bank in time.

Huge surprise for me. Don't think anyone walked out of that EOTR gig thinking it was anything but tops.

Shes undeservedly lower on festie bills everywhere.

Yeah, she nailed it that afternoon. I saw the last 10 mins of her at Glastonbury this year in the leftfield, and while it was fine, she was so much better on the Garden Stage a couple of weeks ago. Like you say, there wasn’t a person who left that gig unconverted.

I have strange admiration for the Stereophonics still being able to play arenas. No idea who keeps buying these tickets.

Agreed.   Wasn't sold on the album when it first came out, saw her live and it completely transformed the songs for me.   Now one of my most-played of the year.

This news went down very well on my Facebook feed. People from school and people I know from football. They are all very excited.

That'd be me and anyone else who likes to hear absolute bangaz. 

Na I realise they're not everyone's cup of tea but enough in their setlists for a good time, Mr Writer notwithstanding.

I’ve always said that I like Word Gets Around and P&C, not too keen on everything since.

I’m just impressed that they’ve maintained a level of popularity despite not making much of an impression with their last few releases.

Years ago the Stereophonics booked a summer festival warmup show at the UEA (1,500 capacity). Me and my mate had tickets but then on the night Kelly's voice was shot and they couldn't play (Little Man Tate, as the support, played anyway).

I was a bit gutted, and given the reason for the show assumed that I'd get a refund and that would be that. 

But no, they came back when the festival run was over and played anyway. I always respected that and have a soft spot for them now.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Got a freebie to Latitude this year and the field they were playing was packed for them! (we were wandering in during their last song for a decent spot for Underworld who were on afterwards btw)

Gutted their swerving the North West

They have gigs in Salford and Manchester between now and that tour. Maybe another to be added after those?

Speaking of Manc, I'm heading to the good ship YES to take part in their first birthday festivities on Friday! Free entry, free drinks, bands and DJs on all 4 floors, just a shame I've not been able to convince anyone I know to come!!

I'll still defo be there though, along with Tim Burgess playing out his record collection, there are two of my favourites. The ridiculously sublime Real Lies (FINALLY, YES) and the sublimely ridiculous Rhythm Method. There was a great buzz about the place for their opening weekend last year, hoping for more of the same on Friday.

I did like 2 stereophonics albums and did see them on the JEEP tour but after that I don't think I can tell you any other song, think Mr writer was the wake up call I needed

They are played on Radio X ALL THE TIME! It's like a propaganda channel for them, so no wonder they still shift tickets.

I'm not a fan.

[maelzoid]

Surprised they weren't at the farm this year. Be very surprised if they're not there next year. They seem a prefect fit. Maybe a Park headliner?

Just got my tickets for Bath, so I have clash-proofed this one.
