Does he mean badly run or just not fleecing customers like all the corporate academies and arenas do? Which in essence is what makes the independent venues work. If they started charging more for bands and £8 a pint then they’d close down quicker. Think it’s a very privileged clueless comment to make. 

Specific quotes weren't put up, just an off-hand remark by the writer about venues being poorly run before waffle about wanting to do something else to help.

 

It's probably not helped the schadenfruede that seems to have broken out in response at the venue's opening being delayed.

He's always done plenty of PF songs when I've seen him, although he was likely on better terms with Waters at the time.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't an appearance from her.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bit too soon to headline again though

[Gnomicide]

Too big a gap to my eyes. Plus too soon to be back.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I would have said it tees her up for BST or Roskilde if she wasn't also doing so many dates on the O2, etc

[incident]

I'd assume those Billie Eilish dates are not complete yet.

 

Certainly would seem odd to have more shows in London than in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium combined.

gaps left for more inevitable sell out dates

Not that I'm privvy to venue booking info, but surely it's easier and more cost-effective to book 2-3 stadium shows in July than 10 arena shows? 

 

Or are we assuming the stadiums are all full next summer?

Means you need a stadium sized setup for every city you stop at i guess - so you couldn't stop at smaller cities where it may not be possible?

 

probably full too

Valid point, hadn't thought of that. Not that they're remotely relevant, but noticed Take That are doing an Arena -> Stadium tour combo which you rarely see

She could also prefer to play more shows in arenas. Not that they’re intimate but an arena is easier to pull off than a stadium. 

[gfa]

Also while the uk dates are in summer all the us ones are like december etc

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Billie Eilish is playing a 360 degree setup in the round, so that is likely easier for arenas rather than stadiums.

Has anyone done the maths with what number show he is up to now, added to those in the calendar? Is there room to add more before show 3000?

Short answer - yes.

 

Based on announced dates, he's short by quite a large number - so plenty festival sets and additional shows tba.

Just gonna get worse and worse over the next couple of years. Acts, especially ones with stan-like fanbases, have realised people will fork out insane amounts to see them and they’ll just keep pushing and pushing until eventually sales begin to dampen, but the FOMO from fans means that probably isn’t gonna happen for a while.

[stanh]

Bit the bullet and got tickets for Manchester, at least she's good live
