I’m not sure Trent Reznor or Beyonce have a house or family in Sudan. There is obviously a cynical edge we can take because it’s a major Western city tragedy, and not African / Middle Eastern / Asian but I think having personal ties to the area can excuse them a bit. It’s only delaying announcements - and we only know NIN’s hand was forced because of the leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The music industry has strong ties to LA and SoCal so it's to be expected that there's going to be sadness at what's happened. Indeed, this piece I was reading has hints at things like studios, venues and individuals who've had their lives truly upended by this: LA music community on "tragic" impact of wildfires: "This will be felt for years" So it makes sense there's going to be a lot of wondering what the hell they do now. And that's before the fires have even been put out, given there are some areas where this is still yet to be extinguished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's the small venue thing for me, I'm probably in the minority in that I've liked Kasabian more and more over the years, so have only ever seen them in huge venues. I think Manchester Arena is the smallest! Add Blossoms in who I love and it'd be worth the trip down. Going to join the queue, I've got to win one some time!!
