Gejonimo Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I think some people will be surprised by how popular Catfish are. When Leeds announced their headliners (Blink 182, Lana, Liam Gallagher, Fred, Gerry, Catfish), Catfish had by FAR the most social media interactions, and all positive. The younguns absolutely adore them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if I read or they said when Isawthem recently that Gary would be joining them on stage at some venues on the tour. Venue attendance based on logistics. It's all pretty funny, they seem to be having fun with it all. "gorilla marketing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some catchy tunes a decade ago and then loads of samey tracks ever since. It's many years since my finger has been anywhere near "the pulse" but those venues at those prices!? I'll be interested to see what the demand is, but it won't anywhere near sell out surely? I saw them play in the basement of a pub in Leeds when they were just starting out. They had two or three local bands supporting them and as each one finished and packed up the crowd got thinner. It was really one of those moments that when they did come out it was nearly just us and the barstaff watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless those "local bands" went on to be become bigger than catfish, not really sure what that anecdote proves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that many people in there when I finally got in (after queuing for 3 hours). Yungblud said the bowl is cheap to run compared to anywhere else. I wasn't aware of there being a cap tbf. It certainly looked more sparsely populated than Chase and Status at the same venue the night before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do they think they are 🤣I love there music but hope this flops big time , needs bringing back to reality Jesus ha. I guess it's one thing that I'm unwilling to spend over £100 on a gig ticket but if C&TB can charge these kind of fees, Lord knows what a f**king mega-star will now deem acceptable.

Only got them because nobody used that option on the ticket sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their own Instagram they said there were 45,000 in the house, which is smaller than the Bowl's 65,000 capacity, but maybe it was limited or something.

thatTFBguy Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Wonder the odds of those catfish gigs getting cancelled due to low sales. Not sold out a single section and both standing areas still avaliable in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
