Was just gonna post that.

Seems like there's a lot going on independent of any Glasto visit tbf, with confirmation of small venue shows to mark Hot Fuss' 20 years anniversary and that Brandon is planning to release a solo album in 2025.

Yeah, I think it makes it seem more likely than it probably is.

Probably - don't think anyone expected it to get up to 6 dates!

The Killers are actually an undisputed headliner worldwide though - unlike Editors who can't sell 5k in London these days!

Yeah, but a small-ish one in Belgium though. Their day at Pukkelpop of this year (together with Florence and the Machine, Macklemore, Dropkick Murphys, Foals, King Gizzard, Loyle Carner,...) never sold out, for instance. The show was not too great as well...

Saddens me to hear that the Belgian people's love affair with Editors is fizzling out.

Not even close, it seems. Editors are playing in tents nowadays.

I actually wanted to go to that but couldn't get annual leave to visit Belgium arranged. Though Florence pulling out did make me slightly less unhappy to miss out, given a Killers-Florence-Foals 1-2-3 is something I would've been on board with.

I did gather it didn't sell out though.

It is odd tbf that they headlined Werchter above Depeche Mode in 2013 but were put onto the Barn this year, even if the post above says they still drew a big-ass crowd.

They are doing Antwerp Sports Paleis in March (think London O2 size) and Ticketmaster Belgium hints that while tickets are still available, most of them are taken.

Worth noting about as many people live in London as the entirety of Belgium

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
