* I have no idea if we can or can't see concerts in America tomorrow night.  Anyone? 

I thought these LA Fire Aid shows were being streamed somewhere tbf.

 

If you're gonna go tomorrow, you probably need to go to the airport immediately.

Ignoring the irony of transatlantic flights to watch Fire Aid concerts! 🤣

The news about 2025 artists delaying until 2026 due to the forest fires is interesting

That's not news, that's one guy speculating.

Tbf I've seen some already doing so. Rod Stewart's backing band, for one.

 

But it's like how there were acts who refused to do the famed Live Earth anti-climate change gigs in 2007 because they couldn't got there without using private jets and others who would turn up with one private jet per bandmember.

Haha that should be it's not speculating if that's how it is, is he. I don't think he's saying it from not actually having evidence for it.

Can I ask again, who is it?

[OllieMadd]

Why would they delay tours because of this? Seems odd.

It's Ken from the Werchter thread, he's very in the know on there and obviously a lot of acts that come over and get involved there will also be at Glastonbury.

No… who are the artists that were touring 2025 that have postponed to 2026 due to the wildfires?

Well, if the festival schedule is a Tomelette, we have to break a few Greggs.

Only big name I can think of to definitively delay things for now was Beyonce. Dunno if there's any talk of when she might pipe up with the original plan to announce in mid-January.

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye. For Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975, there's likely no impact.

 

Do wonder how long we've got on the clock before Young confirms the rest of his tour dates.

Probably next week. The Grammys are this weekend. Its an easy play to announce a tour right after you win or have a commercial during the broadcast. If Beyonce was gonna cancel or postpone all of this I think she would have enough sense to say something at this point. And I dont think anyone would have a problem if the tour sales were for next year either.

Ken was incorrect more often than he was correct the last couple of months though. He'll definitely know something inside-y now and then (I'm guessing he receives press letters and so on), but he doesn't really feel like a very 'close to the fire' person. That 'artists postponing a year because of the wildfires' bit feels very bullocks.

Watching some of the LA concert 

 

Not the right thread (not sure there is one).  But Id take St Vincent fronted Nirvana has a future  headliner (Im aware its not a propper full time thing but it should be)

He's been right with a lot of stuff previously that it's worth taking note of at least in a small possibility. I haven't seen him mentioned anything that hasn't been correct.
