Get Twin Atlantic on a big stage. They've got the tunes, or rather, THE CHOOOOONS.

Been away much of the week, so only just getting round to picking the bones out of this.   As far as I can figure, James haven't topped many bills in recent years, and they do remain an arena-level act with a dedicated fanbase, so you could argue a degree of rarity... were it not for the fact that they were still everywhere this summer and will be again next year.   I have a friend who lives in Warrington, who - by some distance - is the most die-hard James fan I know. They will be over the moon with that booking, but I must admit it feels pretty soft.   Stereophonics lacking a Manchester show makes more sense now, and given how fast Huddersfield went out the door, I think this can do good numbers for people who haven't caved and opted to travel further afield. Especially given they're also IOW bill-toppers this year, that's looking like a very strong shout.

That makes sense. Has anybody checked this more than once as they moved forward to see if it changes or is it absolute?

It happened for a lot of bands in 2023 as well as with that sellout the second stage space was too small for any slightly big act on there.

The thing is, I was on the page an hour before, with the countdown timer.  I did not refresh at all and the page changed at 6pm to the progress bar, but the calculation was that I would wait 10 hours.  In what way is it a queue if people who were ALSO doing the same were allotted a time of 2 minutes.  It's not a queue but a random number generator in that case.
