Be curious to see how many more quote-unquote "residencies" it books. The Eagles didn't exactly set sales alight, but Springsteen moved his three shows at pace.

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Wembley Arena is so fractionally small in comparison though. Plenty of regional arenas bigger than it. What it has is the history going for it, at the very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They're a hard act to estimate - kind of a massive cult act really, in that their fanbase might not be huge, but is massively dedicated and will come out en masse after a bit of buildup. I'd say their commercial and creative peak was Downward Spiral era in 1991, so yeah, Head like a hole neck of the woods. Thats almost certainly due to my own biases though, cos i love Downward spiral! And if they were playing Glastonbury it'd be a really quiet Other or an absolutely rammed Woodsies i suppose. But then they dont really fit there either! Small Download headliner, massive Bloodstock headliner? These nails dont fit anywhere . . .

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 NIN one of those bands I would anticipate getting the leg up to top at Download eventually - but those two shows don't really hide the fact they aren't instant-sellouts at this level either. (It doesn't help that there are upper-bowl-tier tickets in Manchester going for just shy of three figures. They are a terrific live act, but that line of inflation does you no favours.)

Expand They did smaller venues on the last couple of tours, but 2022 was only a UK tour, I guess given the full European run this time playing the 2 arenas probably covers off the same amount of tickets as they sold on that tour. The amount of people who travelled down for that two night stop at Eden Project was fantastic. I don't think St Awful knew what had hit it! I think we'll see them back in smaller rooms again. As for Glastonbury, I could absolutely see them headlining Other. Put them as one of the alternatives for a pop act and they'll pull, and keep, a decent crowd.

I never see anything of interest listed there compared to ally pally. Its also as said, substantially smaller. An act doing arenas elsewhere would want to do the 20k o2 most likely (given the population of london), whereas an act doing like 3-5k venues elsewhere is likely to try and do Ally Pally / Wembley Arena.
