To be honest their last album was pretty good and had a lot of catchy stuff, granted they hadn't made a good album for years but any thought if headlining trees no chance.

Do we think they're still that popular? Yes. Subbed Download, headlined Slam Dunk. Very popular in the pop-punk/90s punk genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Did arenas on their last run. They weren't anywhere near full in Leeds, but also clearly could have shifted the city's O2 Academy three times over and not broken a sweat. One of those groups who would benefit with more 7,000 to 8,000 capacity venues throughout the country, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought Leeds for some reason struggled more than other cities?, I might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally does, mostly because Manchester is already on the tour. It's much easier to get back from Manchester to Leeds / Liverpool than it is to get back from Leeds to Liverpool, for example, which can mean that in additional to cannibalising sales, people will plump for the other out of convenience. A lot really does just depend on the size of the market though. Iron Maiden did every UK arena on their 2017 run, and the only ones they didn't sell out? Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield. You generally only make that mistake once as a booker though if you don't pull it off. A Leeds absence from pop-punk tours can also suggest a slot at Slam Dunk however. There's a lot in play.

Top tier off, stage very far forward, floor seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courteeners being a stadium act in Manchester and playing theatres in the south. Plus comedians book arenas all the time, which I'm not a fan of as I think as an artform, stand-up is better suited to smaller spaces. Though yeah, I'd be astounded if it came close to flogging all 20k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a seminal moment for him and the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
