This on top of all his arena dates for May as well?

 

That's a lot of opportunities to see him doing his thing.

Was just thinking, there's a few shows there he won't quite shift.

Bagged myself a ticket to the Bristol night. One of the bands I've seen most on the farm, at least 3 times.

Playing my favourite album of theirs. Happy Hew 😊

I think it's the same support act to boot.

Hmmm. We'll see how he gets on.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned and I missed it.

 

But Childish Gambino has canned the tour dates through injury.

I'd be curious to see if he does come back and do the same venues for the UK. AO Arena in Manchester didn't appear to be shifting as much as he may have hoped.

Big venues suggest they wouldn't want any slot they'd get offered at the G.

That is insanely ambitious for Stereophonics, surely

Cardiff will be fine, Huddersfield packs 35,000 but that's crammed - a 30,000 cap would be fine - and siphons the M62 Crowd, Glasgow usually comes out in force for them and Finsbury is, what, 40,000?

 

You'll get a ticket for the latter cheaper to the day, but they'll sell 80 percent of those with comfort.

We're in a time where Catfish and the Bottlemen are going for stadiums. I think a lot seem to be trying for the ambitious end of the spectrum at the moment.

 

They have done Cardiff Principality Stadium before, right?

It'll be interesting to find out if they've gone for the full stadium setup at the Principality, a reduced capacity as has been used in the past by moving the stage closer to one end to create effectively a large arena setup. 
Finsbury the bill will be packed. Some of those others aren't overly big, and they're all relatively well spaced out geographically. Priced correctly, and with a good promotion campaign, they'll do well.

f**king hell, Sterophonics, John Bishop and Rick Astley. On a cold grey damp autumnal Monday. Wake me up when this is all over.

You’re right. It should be June. 
 

Summertime think it was June
Yeah, I think it was June

Stereophonics usually put on a good show - nothing too fancy, will play well for the Radio 2 crowd that goes along. Depends really where they set the flat price for the open-air standing gigs. Imagine Finsbury will be close to three figures.

They did the Principality in 2022, was on the BBC and looked like the full setup. The Welsh gig won't be an issue for sure

 

No real North West date though which is annoying, Huddersfield isnt the easiest to get home from
