If everyone keeps bothering her she is going to quit. She is due for a real break so that might put a damper on the chances now.

Damn. She sounds exhausted and mega frustrated in that post. Hope she gets some rest and comes back stronger then

You should give her a go, she's pretty cool. 

 

Kept seeing her name around & about.

 

Listened to her album to see what all the fuss is about. I really liked a good chunk of it.. I just wish the trend of whispering tv advert style vocals on ballads would stop. 

 

Super Graphic Modern Girl is basically a Madonna banger.

Probably sums it up for me too.  Some good stuff, plus some very average and easily forgotten ballads.  I realise they have a great reputation for live performance, but on the basis of the music alone I can't grasp all the hype.

Two friends of mine literally left for Belin this morning...

 

They're still going to make a trip out of it obviously but just means they won't be able to see her as can't make the rescheduled dates. 

 

Dates being rescheduled is a risk you take when going abroad for a gig but I think the reason she's given is pretty poor.

That really sucks. Hope they at least get a refund of the tickets! Seems a bit weird to cancel so late for another show somewhere else

Something similar happened a few years ago with Maneskin at R+L. They were all set to play but pulled out a few weeks before to perform at the VMAs instead

Elton spiked a gig in Paris to play G23.

 

The Who did it in 2015.

 

Albeit Reg did it almost a full year out, so you'd imagine there wasn't many people with non-refundable flights/hotels booked.

Are the VMAs still that big of a deal?

 

I read a theory on Reddit that as she's grown more popular it was an easy choice to cancel a couple of shows with capacities of 1.5k and instead do the VMAs with audience numbers around 3-4 million.

 

Really sucks for the 3k people who'd saved up and paid up, though.

Massively sucks and hate it when acts do this last minute.

Her management have probably got her on lock and already booked to return to EU next year to do arenas, fests or whatever so just thought 'cancel those small shows to a couple of thousand total because VMAs are much bigger and return next year to make it up to the fans'.

She's just about to start a European tour. Seeing her in Glasgow in a couple of weeks.

So jealous! I am desperately trying to get my hands on tickets. I hope you have a great time, she will be amazing!!!!

Maneskin and Jack Harlow did the same thing to R&L in 2022.
It’s extremely sh*tty to the fans who’ve invested lots of money booking hotels and flights to see her. 
Especially in this case, since these tickets went on sale before her meteoric rise, so these fans were her ‘earlier’ fans. 
As someone who really enjoys her music and is looking forward to seeing her in London, this kind of behaviour isn’t quickly forgotten and will take a toll on her trajectory

Cancelled 2 EU gigs to play the VMA awards


the thing is that she was announced for the VMA's a couple weeks ago already and didnt bother to do anything til right now which is the whole issue. Seemed obvious she would have to do something

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
