Live at the Piece Hall 2027

Start your engines. 

 

Going to hazard a guess at St. Vincent, Faith No More and LCD Soundsystem as the more boutique "coup" options. 

 

Expect Rick Astley one among the Radio 2-friendly bankers. 

 

Let the guesswork commence!

Complete guesses, but maybe... The Black Keys, Wunderhorse (given they've pulled off RnR this summer), Wolf Alice, Sam Smith, Jack White...

[NorthernSoul52]

I was a little surprised that Jack White didn't end up here, given the late summer routing of his shows around the UK. Felt like an obvious slam-dunk of a pick.

 

Wolf Alice intrigue me. Headlining Tramlines, likely gearing up to make the push for R+L-type slots after selling out Finsbury Park... feels like it would have to be a proper coup-level shout.

Yeah, I did wonder if they might be getting too big for Piece Hall now. Wet Leg did Castlefield this year and were subbing them at Tramlines. Wishful thinking! I'd happily see them do another outdoor headline in the north of England, wherever it might be (except R+L, which I'm def too old for now 😂)

Would be interested to see if, as a one-and-done alongside BST, Wolf Alice could shift at Roundhay Park. Obviously a massive top-end capacity, but believe both major shows there this summer only posted around 40,000 or so.

With a good undercard and sensible pricing it might be doable. Took a long time for the Sunday at Tramlines to sell out though. Hopefully now they'd have some good footage from this year's shows to help with the promo.
