Went to Suede instead, which was fine, but can’t help but feel I missed out. Thought I was watching an all timer headline set after the first two songs. Ended up being fun but obviously was a bit of a trainwreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every reunion in the past couple of years has been pretty underwhelming. None of them have played their shows yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzee still needs to play a gig he has still not rescheduled from his intimate album launch shows. On verge if sending the CD and tickets back for a refund.

I think in hindsight its potentially regrettable because at that stage it mightve been the best you were going to get out of him and the chance he properly tours and such now is very low.

I imagine there’s plenty. The album was (surprisingly) really good. Hard to follow that up when you can’t tour because of a band members Mental Health struggles though.

I went to see the Batman tonight and the cinema crowd was really disappointing. Bunch of teenagers sat in the row infront of me on their phones / chatting the whole time. Ruined it.

The headline says Elton John but then it says Rolling Stones on 25 June and links to a page on the BST website which isn't live yet. https://www.festaff.co.uk/festival-info/bst-elton-john- I'm never right about anything normally! https://www.allgigs.co.uk/view/artist/6295/The_Rolling_Stones.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The techs can stand in without too much hassle for anyone except the singer. I saw Hot Chip headline Standon Calling last summer, minus two members - one of whom was Alexis Taylor! Alexis was there.

If Hot Chip can do a gig without Joe, then other bands can do a gig without a less pivotal member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste, same with Fleetwood Mac who probably will go without playing it. proper annoys me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think with trickiness around venue availability and reluctance from some acts to do stadium dates, a big gig in a field has been the preference. It’s a fab roster I hope continues. Even acts like the Eagles and Pearl Jam on top of it make the full bill very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I did notice though is Emily is now following him on insta @kalifire. She wasn’t before. Maybe the dream is alive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still an outside chance of him playing the Friday or - less likely - Saturday, in 2023. A Pyramid headline show being his last ever UK date would be pretty cool. Won’t be putting my house on it tho. This year was the time to get him, especially considering his increasingly frequent health issues. Those Bristol dates were just too convenient, I’m convinced they nearly had him sign up.
