I will get to see in person How BST handles the exact same thing on Sunday, luckily for them the Kpop fans probably have much less crossover in terms of interest in football.

 

Looking very much like I shall also be there. Might need to do some intensive Stray Kids homework between now and Sunday. Which mainly involves learning not to call them the Stray Cats.

Having Lightning Seeds booked for the day of the Euros final has turned out to be a genius booking.

Reading the actual post, makes it sound like they're sticking around after their main set maybe? Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it / wishful thinking... But I almost read it to imply they're gonna play 3 lions just before the game too.

Having experienced Blackpink last year me and my Loop earplugs are ready for it. We're in GC as well, just to make it worse.

Breaking news: In the last 5 minutes, word has come through that I might yet be spared. This is like waiting for a last minute reprieve when you're on death row (I mean, it's obviously not, but you know where I'm coming from)

I demand that you attend and give us minute by minute updates on the whole thing.

I also note that I'm not getting any sympathy at all. Fecking patriarchy at work. 

 

You need to build up a reputation for hating everything* first. But you have my sympathy. 

 

I expect there will be more people there than the seventeen that turned out to watch Seventeen at Glastonbury 

 

 

*Apart from the fecking Pet Shop Boys.

Exactly, it was brilliant, from a US band too, to know their British audience like that speaks volumes. 

Listen to the roar on that final whistle, sounds to me like the vast vast majority there absolutely loved it. 

Saw The Gaslight Anthem at Rock City last night, they didn't show the game but they did acknowledge that it was going ahead and that they don't care if people want to keep checking their phones/celebrate etc

Lots of shouting and celebrating when the news started spreading and then some big singalongs of "three lions" in-between songs

I think a band understanding and embracing it rather than getting snooty about people not being fully focused on the concert is the best way to handle it, the atmosphere genuinely gave me shivers in the aftermath of the final whistle and we didn't even have the game on to watch

This thread back alive? Good enough. Saw the first Manchester show, probably trumped the stadium run in '22 for me, even if the setlist wasn't too far off the beaten track.

 

My frustration is self-indulged; had tickets originally for the third Manchester show, which I swapped before the start of the tour. Lo and behold, they went deep on Battle Born - my favorite record - and played Battle Born, the song - a top-five track for my personal tastes - in my absence.

 

I've flubbed a couple of gig moments in my life, but this one is a personal best...

Last night in London was good fun. Made a last minute decision to acquire a side-stage ticket and they sounded on good form.

 

I was hoping for a rare song with it being the last show of the UK tour and possibly last in the UK for a year or two judging by comments the other day (Midnight Show is the one I really wanted) but still. It was very nice. And no need for a football broadcast to add to the hype indeed.

The Killers paused their show in London last night to show the end of the England game.

 

Final whistle. England 2-1. Streamers go off. Crowd goes nuts. Straight into Mr Brightside. Amazing.

 

 

 

What? Delayed Mr Brightside for a football,score? Why?

I found this curious and wanted second opinions.

 

The Killers just announced a November/December tour of Australia, and at some of the Aussie shows, they'll play Hot Fuss in full. I thought it was just an exclusive for their recent Las Vegas residency, so I'm surprised both at it getting a run in Oz and that there was no UK Hot Fuss in full concert when they were here in June/July.

 

Am I allowed to be a tad surprised at this?

    • 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.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
