Worthless news unless you live stateside, but Lorde has just announced a US tour with Run The Jewels doing some of the support dates. 

What a gig that is! 

And Mitski

RTJ also supporting QOTSA at some point soon. In America, again. Can’t help but think both of those support slots are better in the eyes of music buffs than the headliners’ fan base who’ll make up the majority of the crowd.

[Amy Lawn]

Fuuuuuuuucking hell, Lorde, RTJ, and Mitski? That's unreal.

Although in other news STOP THE PRESSES as Kero Kero Bonito are playing Heebie Jeebies in Liverpool for a mere FOUR POUNDS FORTY PEE (GBP) on Saturday 28th Oct.

Billy Joel at Old Trafford next year. Always thought he'd be good for the legend slot.

The National in Dublin 15th and 16th June 2018

I'm slightly surprised he can think of filling Old Trafford.

I know what you mean, but he played Wembley recently and seemingly packed it out.....

[Gnomicide]

Announcing as only UK date will probably help, Wembley was the same last year and as you say, he apparently filled the place up.

So we could have had Billy Joel as Legend and Roger Waters headlining if it wasn't a fallow year?

Nah - it would have been Coldplay

I prefer when he plays with the rest of Green Day to be honest.

New Jungle date, I hope this means new material is coming

It is, new album's just been running a bit late - they originally hoped to be playing this year at Glasto, but things got delayed

Only just realised this is the football Old Trafford. Didn't even know they held concerts there.

It's a weird one... the pitch is higher than at other grounds used for gigs, so the first few rows can't be used. Plus there are seats in the corners that you wont see the stage.

The Dublin tour isn't standing, it's seated on the pitch so I expect old Trafford to be the same.

Saw Bruce Springsteen at Old Trafford football ground in 2009 (I think), it was way too quiet. Don't know if that was down to him (wasn't the same the next time I saw him in a stadium), the council, stadium or what but not good.

[Hugh Jass]

They do "old man" concerts at the football ground - Billy Joel, Bruce, Genesis...

You see, I didn't want to go there but I'm glad you did.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Radiohead was far too quiet this year at the cricket ground

[Limpet]

Apologies if already mentioned (couldn't see it anywhere), but Bon Iver have added added a sixth date at Hammersmith - Friday 2nd March

Bah! Can’t help but rise to the bait....better than all the boy bands at the City of Manchester stadium: One Direction, Take That, Robbie Williams, etc
