On The Blend Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 I don't see Uber as a youth brand at all. Metropolitan, perhaps, but that's hardly the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They're in Rock En Seine on Saturday, and in an email from the band they said the Bristol date is the first UK show in 5 years, so there won't be anything until that.

I'm doubtful they'll play it tbh, they also had an article out in the Guardian where they were critical of sponsors for fests. Would be a bit weird to have a climate conscious gig for only the next day to be playing a non climate conscious one a couple hours away. It could happen though given the Bristol gig is partly organised by AEG and they were booked in 2020. I'm gonna be doubtful for now though.

scatteredscreens Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Postal Service / DCFC are absolutely nailed on for this, headlining or subbing, but definitely there in some capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I wonder who would be the headliner, however, since I guess it won't be LCD, Massive Attack or PJ Harvey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see them co-headlining if it’s billed as their only UK show. A smaller one for sure, but think it would do well with a good nostalgia fuelled undercard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatteredscreens Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm a big fan but it would sell horribly. Not that I would care, I expected it to be a European exclusive to drum up interest but they just announce the Kalorama date so a lot of people in Europe will just go there instead. Quite affordable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit surprised to find out they are 2x bigger than Jungle worldwide in terms of listeners. Not sure in the UK. That would be odd, but I guess not impossible headliners?

Jonathan Jonathan Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Feel like a lot of that line up could appear at ape. The Smile seem likely and reckon Overmono would be a good Field Day booking. Could see Ezra Collective on the undercard somewhere after the Mercury Win. What are people’s Field Day predictions this year? Haven’t seen Jamie XX on any like ups from what I remember this year but assume he’s in album prep mode, so perhaps a festival exclusive, perhaps as a coheadliner. Justice are also around. The Streets and Four Tet seem like they could appear too. Edited December 7, 2023 by Jonathan Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalviaPlath Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 It's going to be great seeing LCD, Postal Service/Death Cab and Loyle Carner for about five/ten quid each when the time inevitably comes and they have shifted barely any tickets. Anyone paying full price for these is getting mugged off. We all know what happens with APE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think they’d want to have a lot of big selling points out at once in order to sell tickets, instead of a bunch of people inevitably waiting for cheap tickets which will almost definitely happen along the line.

FloopFiller Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Also no mention of an exclusive (yet) which I for sure thought this would be given London being the only date listed on their tour poster from earlier this week.

They've started doing the Tier system over the last few years which will incentivise some early ticket buying before the price jumps up.
