I think it’s one of her weaker albums by far. Bland production, weak songwriting (especially coming after folklore and evermore which showed real growth) and is all rather blah.

But hey, perhaps I’m in the minority there as it’s obviously took her to a whole new level stardom wise, even if that probably would’ve been the case with anything she released at that point.

So now that Midnights has been out for a year are we all ready to admit that it’s incredibly mid or are some of you still kidding yourselves?

Gonna have to agree with you there.  As someone else said, Anti Hero is a great lead single, but the album as a whole is a bit of a mixed bag. Nowhere near her best.

Reputation certainly has lower lows but also higher highs, whereas Midnights has the mighty high of Anti-Hero, but then also the rest…

Exactly - some absolute clunkers on Rep, but way more highlights.  Still can't believe she has left a tune as good as Getaway Car out of the Era's Setlist

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend legitimate  resale sites for the London shows? If I manage to bag a Glasto ticket I’ll be in London the weekend she’s playing..

Here in NZ I know not to touch certain sites (like Viagogo). So just wondering if there are offical or trusted sites people in the UK would consider for resale?

The only genuinely reliable options (unless you want to look at blindingly expensive hospitality packages like Club Wembley) are the official primary ticket sellers - axs.com and ticketmaster.co.uk - but tickets aren't coming up there often.

All tickets for these shows are being delivered as "live" barcodes that change every 60 seconds, via the AXS or Ticketmaster apps - so anything purchased via a scumbag tout site like stubhub, viagogo, etc is likely to be rejected at the gate unless the ticket has been transferred directly from the original purchaser into your own AXS/Ticketmaster account.

AXS & TM have each said that the option for a purchaser to "transfer" a ticket to someone else will only become available shortly before the shows so there's a substantial risk if you buy outside of their platforms. This is being done precisely to trip up touting resale sites - you'd basically be relying on someone you don't know (and potentially depending on how the platform works have no means of contacting) to remember to make the transfer at pretty much the exact right moment in time.

Thanks so much for this well considered information! I’ll stay clear of resales and just keep an eye on AXS and TM. Given the timeframes you mention it may just end up being a last minute thing. So a slim chance of success, but I don’t have anything to loose given I hope to be in London anyway so no harm in trying my luck 😀

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
