Im the opposite, I think a band with so many hits playing not on an album tour is better, it'll be wall to wall songs people know instead of loads of new stuff.
Sam Fender might be current but I doubt the album tracks from the new album, however good they are, go down too well 5 months after it's release
With all the talk about bands who can't play Reading anymore and people mentioning Foo Fighters and Muse etc.. in this breath, how could QOTSA ever still be in the conversation
Bar the fact they were scheduled to play recently....
All these bands could still be very much booked
