Arenas feel a bit ambitious 

They did arenas on the tours for their second and third albums and I assume the fondness for the work of their first two albums should get a few punters in.

 

I feel like I could be amiable to going. Their discography has some belters in it.

Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry is doing a 24-date US/Canada tour for her solo album Vicious Creature in Jan-Mar 2025.

 

Presuming that maybe we'll get some kind of UK show announcement soon enough. Maybe after her upcoming shows with London Grammar in a few weeks.

Good it’s confirmed that Blink will be playing songs from their albums at WWWY. Had me worried.

They've been touring off the back of Silent Alarm for a few years now, i mean fair enough its a belter but they haven't half cashed it in!

And I seem to recall Kele years back slagging off bands that did it though can't seem to find the article. 

 

Don't mind as cracking album

Yeah, I remember them playing Newcastle Arena in like 2010 or something but I missed it due to exams. I'm in the same boat though, if they focused it around a set around the first and second albums, could be a great night out.

7 years or so ago I went to a gig at the Institute in Brum. There was a sign on the door saying the next night's Kele Okereke show was no longer taking place in the small room there, but had been moved to a nearby pub instead (Sunflower Lounge, 120 cap). I'm sure that tour offered a lot of perspective for him.

Ooof. That is... quite the drop-off.

Let us know how demand is on that one. Expect it to be steady, if not big.

They have added greatest hits to it now as well with extra incentive so I imagine your getting the best off that other album too.

I was having a look at several acts at the Coop Live yesterday out of interest. Despite the prices, many gigs are sold out or not far off. Seems to be a big demand for the venue overall. Only ones I saw that seemed particularly poor sales were Cyndi Lauper and Gregory Porter. As Snow Patrol is now sold out, I'd expect the similar sing-a-long ELO will do so too.

Those When We Were Young Lineups are always crazy good.

The only act i would go see is Weezer on that poster but I have just never have been into pop-punk really.

[NorthernSoul52]

Cyndi Lauper had sold appallingly bad there. I had wondered if there would be a case to dropping it down a level - but think it's far too many gone still now for the Apollo, and switching arenas would be silly.

 

Expect some price drops there, perhaps. Sum 41 didn't sell great the other night, but nor did they open the whole thing to begin with.

4300 in front of me, looks like this will sell out

Bombay and the Cribs, absolutely cracking additions from my perspective! 

[efcfanwirral]

Got ELO, went for upper tier at the back and got some for £94 all in. If I'd wanted, could've got floor or lower tier, with prices up to £160. but all seemed to be going quickly.

Some of the £600 tickets are still left, would expect another night
