Are you sure? Cos they’ve had a no. 1 album in both US and Canada, and sold out big arenas like MSG. The Lumineers can’t be that much bigger than that.

Looking it up, they played the Grey Eagle Resort & Casino in Calgary last tour. I know (from googling ‘tragically hip calgary’ ) that there’s a bigger venue there but it seems larger than a small venue.

Tash Sultana just sold out the grey eagle... not trying to make that a statement either way, but its for comparison. 

I just looked up this tour, and they also only played 4 dates in Canada... Calgary Edmonton Winnipeg and Toronto. I couldn't find any details about whether the Calgary date sold out... 

The lumineers had 14 Canadian dates on the Cleo tour.. I know the edmonton arena date sold out. 

It's all opinions, but I know that everyone I know..  KNOWS who the lumineers are here. Even my Mum. Whereas the only person in my circles who know the 1975 is my brother. That's my gauge, no fact or science behind it.

Fair enough. Had no idea The Lumineers would be so big over there, nor that The 1975 would be that little known despite topping the charts. I think, after next summer, they're likely to be a headliner in most countries; this album seems like it's the biggest album of the year (if only because it's been fairly quiet) and the next one should follow suit, so they'll be well on their way to becoming a household name in places they are currently not.

Is it even real? It says Mura Musa, rather than Mura Masa.

Think it might just be impossible for anyone to spell his name right cos I've just spotted this now and all. The poor fella will be referred to as Muse before long

FF SOAD DISTURBED. THE PRODIGY THE HIVES THE DISTILLERS REFUSED and SCARS OF BROADWAY. That's decent tbh. If SOAD come here it'll be for one Wembley Arena date or something.

Its honestly weird for me how different the musical landscapes are in Canada vs the UK. 

Someone I'm super into here (ex: half moon run) may get a great spot at a Canadian fest but not prestige at glasto. I think generally Canada must be a 1/99th of  a beat out of sync with the rest of the world.

Ok also I just had my staff xmas party (so early, I had no say) but I'm going to shamelessly admit that I deeply love the lumineers. Deeply.

I was out for a couple of drinks last night and there was a work's Christmas night in having a meal and drinks. It was still November yesterday! I think you've safe as it's now actually December

No bad thing! Stay that way. 

To illustrate your point, I’d never heard of Half Moon Run, but they do sound really good.

Hey Ho was the first dance song at our wedding, although that was more of a compromise - I wanted Something Changed by Pulp, Mrs Jass wanted something awful.

If we had gotten into the National by then it would have been Pink Rabbits.

Still drunk then, love the morning after a works do except the dreaded feeling of regret!

I enjoyed the first Lumineers album and the set in Glastonbury was good, way too long a gap to the next album though and I didn't think it was up to scratch. It'll be interesting to see what the next album is like, don't know if Neyla leaving will make a lot of difference.

Still can't believe The Lumineers played above Editors at R&L 2013.

Lumineers were really good on the other stage in 2016. A wide appeal and would love to see them back.

I think you will find that this was a Canadian November Christmas Party.... shouldnt be allowed wherever in the world you are.

Was still November in Canada! There was a ton of drama and it almost didn't happen at all... but still,  it just felt like a party.  Nothing Christmas about it!

Amazing live also! I'd say Canada has a great pool of talent when it comes to the indie rock type genre... but they don't seem to do as well outside of Canada for whatever reason. Wintersleep (the miasmal smoke and the yellow bellied freaks is insane live) , Metric, Local Natives, there's more but I'm too hungover to think. 

It goes both ways though... I saw the struts at a festival here... not on the main stage at about 2pm in the afternoon... a spot usually for someone relatively unknown

What?  I didn't know this.  It will for sure ?

Beer prices are ridiculous even for London so be warned

We went to see underworld on Friday at village underground , see what you mean about beer prices £6.50 for a bottle /pint of cider ,  also when we was on our back home about 11am we bumped into karl Hyde at the tube station , we just had to have a chat and photo with home , I asked him if they playing glasto next year ,  said they ain’t got anything planned yet  but seemed a bit cagey as if he can’t say , but I could of read it wrong , but have to say what a nice guy to talk too ,hope they do play village underground gig was epic

Met two of the Backstreet Boys in my local last night, didn’t even think to ask if they would be at G as it’s absolutely preposterous.

Did they get up from their barstools at exactly the same time in a dramatic manner as you approached?

It could be worse, you could be Belgian. Fun fact:Editors are still guge in Belgium for some reason and headline huge festivals there.

(I actually used to like/do like Editors, but I still think it's somewhat unsavoury.)

They had no choice as we were shoving my dog in their faces for a picture.

Surely that's Westlife or Boyzone?

I saw Hinds last night. They did all sorts of stupid stuff, like lining up like Quo/Genesis and walking around the stage while playing.

 

And diving into the crowd and continuing singing (two of them did this!).

Think they all flirted with that but Westlife made it an art form. Will report back in April as am actually watching Backstreet Boys in Vegas.
