What's the reason with Kendrick not coming back when he's in Europe?

Maybe he is and we'll get an announcement soon? BST usually has a few days announced before the end of the year

Hopefully. Refunded my tickets, will buy again unless he does Wireless instead!

Duran Duran on 11th July.

.... with Nile Rodgers & Chic, and Grace Jones.

Hi everyone I can’t find my old post to reference back but someone told me a while ago that PJ, Duran Duran, and Little Mix had all rescheduled/ were the first to commit again to doing BST.

So yeah looks like BST is trying it’s best to mirror 2020.

The info wasn’t that they were the only acts to reschedule but that they were the first acts to agree

Shame about no Gwen Stefani! That would have been fun

Grace Jones a massive upgrade for me. 

Easily one of the top 10 performers I've ever seen.

[lysagrey93]

I am really hapy that they are planning a 2021 tour. I am really hopefully that I will be able to get in this year!

[Gilgamesh69]

Two questions:

1) This year, was there going to be a headliner for the first Friday and they just hadn't gotten around to announcing it yet?

2) Who do we think Pearl Jam have replaced with their second show?

Post Malone won’t be back so him perhaps?

I guess Little Mix might be out too as one of them has left. Though that never stopped the Sugababes.

[atomised]

There were 6 confirmed dates this year, same as usual. Post. Kendrick. Taylor. Duran.little mix and pearl jam. I thought the first Friday was left blank as the Thursday was a scheduling thing

Without a doubt.  I saw her at the little Blackheath festival last year and managed to get second row.  She is a goddess.

Just booked for the Duran Duran show, largely influenced by the presence of Grace, although we won't get anywhere near this time.

Ha! I was in about the third row for that gig! Wasn't hard to get to the front - opposite of BST!

[Gilgamesh69]

Strange... don't they normally have "Launch" tickets which are slightly cheaper?

I nearly got to touch her as she came along the front high-fiving everyone but my arms are too short  😁

[Gilgamesh69]

Just bought a ticket for my mum! Think i'll wait to get a cheaper one on twickets for myself though. But i'd feel weird just telling her "yeah i don't have  a christmas gift for you yet, but wait until the summer and then I might give you one" 😅

Do we think these will go to £2.50? 

As much as I think it's a fun day, don't think Grace Jones or Nils Rodgers shifts many tickets any more through ubiquitousness and whilst DD have a decent demographic that will pay, they probably can't sell all the tickets by themselves.

[Damsonz]

Maybe, but everyone's been starved of live music events this year, so that will probably fetch a lot of people out.  And following the vaccine announcements, there is going to be more confidence that this event will happen.

I don't think theyve done £2.50 tickets for a while... maybe there'll be some discounts, or 2 for 1 perhaps. But £2.50 is a bit much

True, but set against that:

- I don't expect 50somethings (the target demographic) to have been vaccinated by then. There will some nervousness about mass events.

- Unemployment will be up considerably. An expensive day out if you are out of work.

I would expect most of them to have been vaccinated by June.

Affordability is a good point, but otoh some people will have actually saved money because of not going out.
