Having Lightning Seeds booked for the day of the Euros final has turned out to be a genius booking.

I will get to see in person How BST handles the exact same thing on Sunday, luckily for them the Kpop fans probably have much less crossover in terms of interest in football.

 

Looking very much like I shall also be there. Might need to do some intensive Stray Kids homework between now and Sunday. Which mainly involves learning not to call them the Stray Cats.

Reading the actual post, makes it sound like they're sticking around after their main set maybe? Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it / wishful thinking... But I almost read it to imply they're gonna play 3 lions just before the game too.

Having experienced Blackpink last year me and my Loop earplugs are ready for it. We're in GC as well, just to make it worse.

The only song I can get on board with is called WinterFalls if thats any help @Mardy

Breaking news: In the last 5 minutes, word has come through that I might yet be spared. This is like waiting for a last minute reprieve when you're on death row (I mean, it's obviously not, but you know where I'm coming from)

I demand that you attend and give us minute by minute updates on the whole thing.

What would be really good is someone else giving minute by minute updates on Mardy throughout it.

[tarw]

So everyone wants phones to be used throughout a gig, just so that we can revel in Mardy’s misery?

 

OK that’s fair

[giantkatestacks]

That is one of the best things I have EVER seen on here.

I also note that I'm not getting any sympathy at all. Fecking patriarchy at work.

They did it at Lytham. Played 3 lions to end their set immediately before the quarter final.

You need to build up a reputation for hating everything* first. But you have my sympathy. 

 

I expect there will be more people there than the seventeen that turned out to watch Seventeen at Glastonbury 

 

 

*Apart from the fecking Pet Shop Boys.

This is utterly cringe.

 

People coming together to celebrate something is so embarrassing.

Exactly, it was brilliant, from a US band too, to know their British audience like that speaks volumes. 

Listen to the roar on that final whistle, sounds to me like the vast vast majority there absolutely loved it. 

Saw The Gaslight Anthem at Rock City last night, they didn't show the game but they did acknowledge that it was going ahead and that they don't care if people want to keep checking their phones/celebrate etc

Lots of shouting and celebrating when the news started spreading and then some big singalongs of "three lions" in-between songs

I think a band understanding and embracing it rather than getting snooty about people not being fully focused on the concert is the best way to handle it, the atmosphere genuinely gave me shivers in the aftermath of the final whistle and we didn't even have the game on to watch

This thread back alive? Good enough. Saw the first Manchester show, probably trumped the stadium run in '22 for me, even if the setlist wasn't too far off the beaten track.

 

My frustration is self-indulged; had tickets originally for the third Manchester show, which I swapped before the start of the tour. Lo and behold, they went deep on Battle Born - my favorite record - and played Battle Born, the song - a top-five track for my personal tastes - in my absence.

 

I've flubbed a couple of gig moments in my life, but this one is a personal best...

[charlierc]

Last night in London was good fun. Made a last minute decision to acquire a side-stage ticket and they sounded on good form.

 

I was hoping for a rare song with it being the last show of the UK tour and possibly last in the UK for a year or two judging by comments the other day (Midnight Show is the one I really wanted) but still. It was very nice. And no need for a football broadcast to add to the hype indeed.

[Mardy]

hahaha, you beautiful bastards. I'm almost certainly never going to Glastonbury again, but how can I leave this site when you make me laugh so much? Fantastic work @Gnomicide @philipsteak @giantkatestacks@tarw

[Mardy]

And with one bound, I'm free!

The Killers paused their show in London last night to show the end of the England game.

 

Final whistle. England 2-1. Streamers go off. Crowd goes nuts. Straight into Mr Brightside. Amazing.

 

 

 

What? Delayed Mr Brightside for a football,score? Why?

 

seriously, great result all the best for Sunday🤞

Bonus points if they actually persuade Baddiel and Skinner to pop along.

I found this curious and wanted second opinions.

 

The Killers just announced a November/December tour of Australia, and at some of the Aussie shows, they'll play Hot Fuss in full. I thought it was just an exclusive for their recent Las Vegas residency, so I'm surprised both at it getting a run in Oz and that there was no UK Hot Fuss in full concert when they were here in June/July.

 

Am I allowed to be a tad surprised at this?
