Maybe they’ll pull it together in time for Old Trafford in two weeks, but tonight’s level of perform would stink up the main stage. Same predictable setlist.

I've gone off them massively since they played Leeds Academy when warming up for the last Heaton Park gig. Turned up 45 minutes late with no reason given, rattled through the set with no umph and left without saying a word. Having seen them at Heaton Park (2015), Old Trafford (2017) and twice on the Leeds main stage they'd probably do a decent headline set if they could be arsed. New stuff is dire though, literally just releasing albums so they can tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Dave has pretty much sold out his entire tour bar some seated tickets in 4-5 venues in around 20 minutes so if we needed anymore confirmation of him being a headliner this is it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard the Fab Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 And I missed out on tickets, could’ve got some yesterday with Spotify presale, but my mate said he’d get them today. He was in the queue at 10 and didn’t get anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukey Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Managed to get good seats for Leeds but standing sold out so fast - he’s got to be a shoe in to headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “yoof” listen to everything it’s more a case of any song Dave ends with will go down insanely well. the fact that there is still an argument between what stage he headlines is stupid, the guys just sold an arena tour within about 10 minutes of normal sale being open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumperofftheshelf Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yeah Dave has sold out more or less every arena standing section within hours. He’s got to headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmcm1998 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I'm impressed by how many tickets Dave has shifted today. Definite headliner material. Not my cup of tea though and I doubt many of my friends like him so hopefully the other headliners are more appealing to us. Dreading to think about how dull a Dave Courteeners day could be for me ahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people were saying Wolf Alice and Haim to headline as they like them and are female artists. Haim maybe at a push but they’ve still not sold out their shows next summer and Wolf Alice weren’t even subbing this year and haven’t got any bigger. Dave is big enough when you see how many people ask for him to headline and how many tickets he’s just sold on his tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance he plays below there at Reading. Dave/ Lorde RATM/ Something for the kids BMTH/ Royal Blood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at reading, which is the sad place we’re in now, where the headline pool is so small. Lorde should so easily headline reading but these days they’ll choose Mabel or Paramore instead. both easier choices but so much less worthy for completely different reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
