Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[zero000]

I've never heard a Genesis song in my life. Didn't realise they were that big a deal, just thought they were a launch pad for Big Phil's solo career.

They were significantly better when Little Phil wasn't singer...

[maelzoid]

I want to see Genesis.

I don't want to pay those prices.

[faymondo]

one of the biggest (perhaps the biggest) act in the world in their heyday.

Land of confusion is a pretty catchy tune 

[CJTM]

Saw a heap of Irish talent last night in town (Dublin), with the pick of the bunch being The Murder Capital, always on form. Cannot wait to see them again at Glastonbury. Was it established where/when/how many times they are playing sorry @eFestivals ?

Fontaines levels were a bit off in sound levels, good show tho, Kneecap, would be interesting to see in the land of the Brits alright, Just Mustard sounded fantastic, been waiting almost two years to see them, nearly booked them to play The Spotted Dog in Bham if anyone knows it, fell through due to them getting support slots for Fontaines.

Oh yeah, and if anyone is interested, was told FDC second album is coming out in June,

I am very interested in both Murder Capital and FDC.

Can see MC doing a few sets next year. Williams Green/JP/Rabbit Hope Maybe.

Yep, ala following the FDC route of 2019 on the farm. JM will be there I am positive as well, Frank sounded good as audio last night. Did you catch any of the FDC sets last year? That rabbit hole set was the loudest gig I've ever been too, God Damn at the Hare & Hounds a close second

if I remember rightly there were two different stories, one suggesting two shows and the other suggesting just one - so nothing I'd put a bet on.

Saw them in LeftField and loved it.

Once will do me just fine, I think they'll make the first poster.

 Do you think that is solely Glastonbury HQs choice who does/doesn't for the smaller acts, or do you think agents say we'll give you ABC high up on Pyramid & Other etc, if band XYZ playing JPT/Park etc are on the first poster for more exposure

That was the 1/4 I missed, I am quite reserved at gigs now but you can see me on the beeb going mad down the front of the JPT slot in my GAA jersey like a pissed up loon

MC have just announced a live gig with Annie Mac on r1 8pm tonight I've just seen on Hipstergram @Hugh Jass

I've no idea. I'd guess there's plenty of horse-trading goes on with bookers, but I'd always thought that would be about getting newer acts on the bill (in 'exchange' for a 'top' act too), and hadn't thought about it for the poster.

It's pretty clear something went on with Janet Jackson tho.

Genesis 2021 Legends Slot?

If ELO can get booked for it there’s no reason why they can’t.

Yeah it’s a fair enough shout this far in advance.

[a6l6e6x]

Do really like Genesis but wouldn't pay that, legends slot is a top shout. Easily have the hits for a banging hour and a half but definitely an expensive booking

 

[fat_man_joe]

For any Genesis fans that don't want to remortgage their house or sell a kidney, I saw the tribute version The Musical Box a couple weeks ago at the London Palladium and they were fantastic. I believe they have another tour already booked in.

that would imply they're acts of the same level when they're not.

Genesis are much more Fleetwood Mac than ELO, and I doubt anyone would suggest Mac for the legends slot.

I'm still not even really sure who ELO even are....and I was there the year they played!

I’ll admit that my knowledge of the 70’s prog bands and their current standing isn’t up to much but since reforming ELO have been regularly playing arenas and the odd enormous outdoor gig (Hyde Park, Wembley) - I would imagine that would be same level Genesis operate around.

I don’t think the comparison with FM stacks up as they broke into the mainstream in a much bigger way than the other two.

There are (sort of) two Genesises (or Genesii).

Will the current incarnation even go near things like Supper's Ready or will it just be  Invisible Touch and the like?

You'd like to think that they'll cover the range.  From the little I know of Genesis they continued to be a bit interesting after Gabriel left for at least a while, and a lot of the fans will be looking forward to seeing that on the tour.

I'll stand by Land of Confusion though.
