Even if those Newcastle gigs aren't insta-sellouts in the event on Friday, they'll clear full sales by the dates with ease - imagine a bump in interest when the arena dates conclude, and when the new record lands in February.
Actually, when I think about it, the new record's arrival would be the perfect time to announce him as a Glastonbury headliner if it is indeed the case.
I vaguely remember that Bon Jovi fiasco. Anyway, were it not for the sheer volume of shows already booked at Wembley, I would say it's probably the last chance for the Stones to scratch that itch if they want to - but there has to be a reason they haven't done so far, perhaps.
Would be nice if the other show outside of the capital is up north, but having played Liverpool last time out, I'd wager it's Scotland or the Midlands.
Mogwai
Wings of Desire
My Bloody Velentine
Spiritualized
Sprints
Jimmy Cliff
Flatfoot 65
Skinny Lister
Old Time Sailors
Flogging Molly
Interrupters
Wardruna
There'll be many more but that's all I can think of right now
Scissor Sisters seem a safe bet to be fifth down on the Saturday, leading into The Script. Several of their arena shows still have shed-loads of tickets to go - namely Manchester at Co-op Live.
Alternatively, a high slot on the Other beckons.
