devilman Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Clutch are a funny fit for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Got in for the Eden Sessions gig - always wanted to see something there as it sounds like a really nice venue. Week before Glasto so (hopefully) a nice warm up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Clutch are a god awful choice to support. Not that Clutch are god awful but they will surely share little to no fans with the crowds at these MCR shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6l6e6x Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Clutch are a very strange choice. When I saw them I was basically the only person there without a beard, can't see them having much crossover with mcr fans at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Just had an email saying the door time has changed to 5pm. Can't remember what it was before. Hopefully they change my green coach time to accomodate, rather than have me in a massive queue for no reason. I'd imagine first support at 7pm, then 8pm, then MCR at 9pm. Give or take a quarter of an hour around all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGanders Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 If it's earlier, potentially another supporting slot has been booked? I've got my fingers crossed for The Used after they cancelled their UK tour dates due to an 'opportunity they couldn't turn down' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I think it's likely that a lot of the biggest bands will cancel their plans. It's not like they need the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're seeing this already, what with Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Billie Eilish among acts to delay their US tour dates and talk of Live Nation cancelling every major concert tour for the next few weeks. I'm already expecting The Killers to cancel the show I have tickets for in May, even if they themselves put out a message yesterday ahead of releasing their new song saying they still want to proceed. I have little confidence as well for the June events I was eager to get tickets for, which included trying to get in for one of these shows. Yet UK government is fine for all to still go ahead... don't get it ngl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 So we reckon they'll move this to June next year? Hope I can still get a hotel and afterparty ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I can still get a hotel and afterparty ticket I think that’s the most likely scenario. Personally, I think they should merge the three dates and do it at Wembley Stadium and then do a second night at Wembley so that I can try for tickets again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Moving to next year would be the best scenario for me, I think a lot of people are being optimistic announcing new dates for September/October time. I'd love to be wrong, but I think this is gonna drag out longer than the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if they're not and artists are able to tour September - December this year, the touring schedule is going to be so congested, and are people going to be able to afford it?

Jericode Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Congestion is definitely going to be an issue, you'll already have loads of booked dates that bands aren't going to want to give up in case we're all clear by then, and then all the bands up until probably June/July trying to book around these as early as they can. In one respect it's great for the venues because they're all going to be busy, but there will inevitably problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one respect it's great for the venues because they're all going to be busy, but there will inevitably problems. I work in an o2 venue and this is exactly it. Even if there aren't shows announced in September/October/November/December, most of the date holds will be in place already, if not confirmed dates. So like you say, it will be a case of fitting in what can be fit in, around what is already there. As well as this, it's all well and good that festivals are looking at pushing back their dates to September/October, but this is only going to work if the bands on the line-up didn't already have commitments booked that far in advance.

DarthSaul Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 There's also the problem that Stadium MK is a football stadium and if you're assuming gigs are good to go then football is too, so without a change of venue this is a summer thing only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I watched the Taylor Swift doc on Netflix and in some of that it sounds like once an album is due to be released the plans of touring for the next 2 years of that album are already in place so I think it will be very challenging to re-arrange everything and lets say as an example MCR were going to do their own shows this year, in 2021 MCR might've already had festivals booked and be signed and sealed so it'll be quite complex for numerous acts to sort their schedules out without conflicting with what they've already signed themselves up for not to mention the other acts and then acts that are not touring this year but plan to bring albums out in the next 12 months Edited March 19, 2020 by foolee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for being so MK centric. But.... maybe, if yr have a few spare pounds, donate to this? https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/keep-craufurd-alive Thanks.
