Heard from someone directly linked to Fred that he’s planning on taking the whole of 2025 off live sets.
The only possibility at the moment would be small pop ups to trial new music, but nothing big. Similar to the pub pop ups he did for album 3.
So my only thought on this is the combination of the two 1975 + Loyle Carner as the big 2 Friday Night headliners?
There are a lot of people who literally refuse to try any music that came out after about 2004ish and while I have minimum sympathy for them my worry is they may swamp one of the other options with a more veteran name - While I know there is info on both. - I kind of feel there might be a big possibility one of the two must be wrong. I think this might need further investigation
Can someone remind me of the source for both these two bits?
