Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[JayDiesel]

People can call Glastonbury out for booking old acts all they like, but when I see McFly, Busted and Jason Donovan all announce shows in 2023, I think it's society that needs a telling off

We live in a society?

To quote myself, just idly checked the sales for those Thirty Seconds to Mars arena dates. With fees, seated tickets are topping out - pre-platinum - at a rather incredulous £92.95. Not sure how disturbed I should be by that.

Manchester's AO Arena, at least, is only selling the lower bowl as matters stand. Given it is mostly gone, I imagine a few spare blocks might be opened upstairs in due course.

Saw them twice due to being at festivals they were headlining and found them awful. 

Presumably festivals with just one stage?

The first time was the Isle of Wight, the second time was because my friend convinced me it was an anomaly and they were "really amazing live"

I think I missed half of them at Leeds so I could see Simple Plan who, while never amounting to the upper echelon of pop-punk royalty, packed in the energy at the very least.

Also, they have the theme to What's New, Scooby-Doo? in their back pocket, which is a decent one to have.

Anyone buying Jason Donovan tickets now for a show in 2025 really needs to have a look at themselves.

I'm staggered by artists announcing shows so far out. Don't Simply Red have tickets on sale for a tour in autumn 2025?

Yeah, there was over a 2 year lead time for the first date when the onsale happened. 
Peter Kay's most recent tour is the only one I can think of with that much of a lead time between sale and event.
Maybe they think it'll take people 2 years to persuade their significant others to buy tickets?

There was a pandemic and a hip replacement to blame, but Elton's UK gigs this summer originally went onsale in 2018.....so that was almost 5 years.

A bit presumptuous to think he'll be doing fine in eighteen months time. Anything can happen in that time

I think it might take longer than two years to convince me, and I'll see any old rubbish.

In the interest of eighties pop disclosure, mine was The Human League!

He could become relevant again. Definitely a dangerous business.

Something like Masked Singer would put him back in the spotlight.

Has he not already been on that old rubbish?

He popped up on the Strictly Come Dancing chat show thing last night and his voice was.....er.......not at its peak.

That might be a mild understatement. But hey, he could be Paul Young.

Just failed to get Air tickets for their one show in London next March, 2,500 capacity apparently the venue allowed 2,000 of them to go to o2 priority....ffs.

 

 

Gutted mate. Hopefully they'll announce more dates / Glasto

Got to assume they must be mulling extras given how fast they went.

In very disgruntled news around these WA parts after billing it as "the only Australian stop" on their tour...
