The band has a bit of a mess for so long that a lot of casual fans have been burned by dodgy setlists, revolving door members, mediocre albums, and so on. They're still A Big Name but just don't have a great reputation and if they were booked it would absolutely be a cheap ticket day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm thinking Robyn or HAIM might be a good shout for next year – Robyn's just come off the back of two rammed Ally Pally shows and feels like she could do a victory lap, and HAIM are ready to announce a new album that looks like it might be timed for next year's festivals.

Robyn was absolutely brilliant live this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Smashing Pumpkins are Hella risky. If it's the reunited (mostly) line up and they sort their setlists out then I can see it selling well with a decent grungy undercard. The reason the arena tour also failed to sell well was the fact it was like £80 a ticket. I doubt it'd sell out but I think with the right circumstance it could do well.

An Iggy Pop sub would ramp up those sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico_Pliskin Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Just FYI, I've seen some things which put My chemical romance geographically around this part of the world 20-30 June.

I've seen the speculation that they're doing the early Euro shows....but would they really announce it for late June when a lot of their fanbase are already booked for the Green Day tour? Then again, first UK gig in 8 years, 15k tickets would sell in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another concert (similar to Green Day but I can't share) that is scheduled the same day which shares similar fans. We had a concert last year with Metallica and the Cure scheduled the same day. Both concerts still sold well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an album to promote and said they wanted to bring the Enema tour to europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 The Streets are doing an outdoor show in Norwich on 22nd May. Perhaps they could do one day of this too? Not sure if they'd headline but sub perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_W01 Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 So after careful consideration I decided to get tickets (what actually convinced me was a friend buying tickets and messaging me that they thought about me because we both love Tame Impala. it'll be a nice weekend in London and shouldn't be to expensive!

DarthSaul Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Call me a conspiracy theorist but Radio 1 have been hammering plays of Everything Now the last couple of weeks which is odd because it's old... Radio Ones Big Weekend last year was the same weekend as All Points East (Horrible flashbacks of driving Essex to Middlesbrough for Miley Cyrus and back to London for Christine and the Queens) ... anyway maybe Arcade Fire are booked for both.. though they'd be a strange big weekend act one can hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
