Hope the weather is kind to you!

NOTHING    

I was at Slipknot at the o2 last night, and enjoyed it, they seemed to be a bit muddy and indistinct for the first 3 or 4 tunes (I mean there is nine of em up there, with a drummer and two sort of percussion fellas, I can understand it not being tight until they’re on the same wavelength, it’s a big noisy ship to try and right) but then when they did get it all facing the right way and sounding awesome and unstoppable, there was only an hour left!  I know gigs are ridiculously expensive these days, and £80 for an o2 headliner set is relatively cheap, and they did state it wasn’t a standard gig and was just the album prior to the sales, but I still walked out feeling a little shortchanged. I just plain wanted more. half an hour of another 5 or 6 songs cherry picked from the rest of their oevre and it really would have been perfect. It’s unusual for me to go to big venues, I tend to prefer much smaller gigs and accordingly smaller bands, but it was nice to see heavy stuff appreciated on a grand scale. The o2 will never not feel weird as hell to me, a shopping centre in a tent ffs 😁

Stones would play two shows minimum. And I understood the last two slots are for two artists. They‘ll be at a stadium.
