My top 3 (no order)    1. Idles - Brixton Electric  2. Olivia Rodrigo - o2  3. Arcade fire (funeral anniversary) - Brixton academy 

not really a rumor now is it. they do seem to take up a lot of oxygen when theyre around though.

Rumour was she had Spurs ground booked out for next summer, this might be part of it. Some other people are saying it's a new album 

1. Confidence Man @ NX Newcastle  It had taken me to another world, the crowd lapped up every minute. We really couldn't ask for more    2. The 1975 @ Hydro Glasgow  I really hope they headline Glastonbury with this set. It's so ready for the pyramid. Peak of their powers.    3. Bruce Springsteen @ Stadium Of Light  Not a top fan, only recognised 5 outta 30 songs played. But I now understand everyone who's said he's magic. Intense and full of love set!   Shout outs Fontaines @ Hydro Glasgow  Arcade Fire @ Bilbao BBK Live  The Lemon Twigs @ The Grove Newcastle 

Er... it's your 60th, so it deserves suitable recognition and if you want to milk it a bit, so there's more than one celebratory event, then that's absolutely fine.  A birthday week or month is acceptable for such a milestone.    Doing both things might work out for the best anyway - you don't really want people dragging themselves to a festival just because they feel they should, to celebrate your birthday when they don't really want to go.  Party for that lot, festival for your chosen few I say.    And some of the best laid plans come after having a smoke, so no problem there.
