Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Interlaker is a good little addition. David Jakes (formerly of Lonely the Braves) new band with Jack Wrench (formerly of Arcane Roots) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamba Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Pretty disappointing lineup all round for me this year. There's a good few bands I'll happily watch but not one I'm particularly excited about. Outbreak seem to have nicked a lot of the names I was hoping for (e.g. Basement, Touche Amore, TWIABP, Nothing etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferd89 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Is there likely to be another release of 4 day tickets or do you think they've all gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Spoon Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 SLS have just added a second Trees warm-up show playing BFE in full for the Monday. Currently on waiting list pre-sale only. Suits me much more as I was unable to make the Tuesday show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Did not expect The Gaslight Anthem to look like the big one to be honest. The way the new record - an excellent one, for me, for what it's worth - basically choked and vanished without a trace has them firmly in the heritage bracket now, I guess.

theramm Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Gaslight are bigger than the bulk of their recent headliners though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy de Milo Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Don't think they'll ever top the 2022 lineup. Jimmy Eat World, Turnstile, Idles and Thrice was just such a pull. Plus Knocked Loose demolishing the main stage... hoping they've got something big in store for the final headliner, love The Chats but does seem pretty small considering who they've had.

Rusty Spoon Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I thought Neck Deep were nailed on but surely they can't be the third headliner whilst struggling to sell Ally Pally and playing twice at Reading the next month? Especially with The Chats already down as headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingobear Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 more convinced than ever that the third headliner is Frank Turner. I don't see anything more exciting now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofzinc Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Still hoping for Turnstile as the final headliner 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, at their peak around 2012, TGA were very impressive. Then Get Hurt and internal dissatisfaction damned them. Live shows dropped off, then everything else with the hiatus. Bit of a shame.

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 5 hours ago, theramm said: Since the hiatus they played Wembley?!? And only shifted about 5,000 for it, by all accounts. (Please do correct me if wrong though!) The point is that they looked like they had the world at their feet in 2012. A #2 record, double sell-outs at Brixton and third down at Download in 2013. Then Get Hurt arrived in 2014 to a relatively muted response and corresponding shows that suddenly seemed more complacent and disjointed on stage. (Ah, I meant the quality of the live show, sorry! Again, can only speak from experience, but saw them twice on Get Hurt and they were merely average.) The proper reunion run in 2022 felt much more alive. Saw the Manchester show on there - where they mostly ignored The '59 Sound, no less - and that was mad in how much better it was. Sincerely hope they can build back up to both rousing prowess as a blockbuster live act with commercial heft. I just think that they may well be at their ceiling now.

Especially with The Chats already down as headliner. Completely agree. If Neck Deep end up being the third headliner, announced in say 2 months. When Reading is already on sale, then it'd be a seriously bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamglastocrowhurst1 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 As they are clearly taking a chance with the chats they definitely need a more obvious headliner for the final night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Do love TGA, and with three Roundhouse shows, they're over the 5,000-capacity threshold for London, which is nice to see again. But reckon it'll need something of a revival for them to justify headlining venues in the Wembley Arena / Alexandra Palace bracket again. Anyway, against the caveat they've given that they won't overdose on History Books, here's my dream. 1 Great Expectations 2 History Books 3 Handwritten 4 Wooderson 5 Positive Charge 6 The Spirit of Jazz 7 Stray Paper 8 Michigan, 1975 9 Get Hurt 10 Film Noir 11 Little Fires 12 Too Much Blood 13 American Slang 14 Empires 15 Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts 16 "45" 17 I Live in the Room Above Her 18 Senor and the Queen 19 We're Getting a Divorce, You Keep the Diner 20 The '59 Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonday81 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Frank Turner is back in the UK the weekend before Trees so it’s possible. It’s a solo set however so maybe he won’t headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
