Chances of cheaper tix for GnR? My mum wants to go but it's pretty expensive...

Reasonable chance I'd say.

Probably not officially, as they seem to have stopped doing that, but if you're prepared to wait until week of then Twickets should go well below face value.

Yet again asking about   If anyone thinks kendrick lamar has a likely shout being one of the dates if there are any possible left? Was suppose to do it before covid and is in europe early july

Nope is the short answer. Next headliner coming this week apparently

Anybody have a clue who will be subbing for Bruce yet? Sam Fender rumours were gathering pace last week but he feels too big for that spot now imo.

No chance is Sam Fender subbing

Given that both dates sold out instantly, and that his shows don't usually have any support acts, I can't imagine they'll spend any significant amount of money on the undercard.

My prediction based on no information whatsoever is Frank Turner.

I feel the exact same but keep being told otherwise 🤷🏻

Nah, someone will have plucked Sam Fender out of thin air because it would've been an obvious shout 12 months ago. In actuality, he subbed the Stones last year and is now way too big for anything but a headline slot anywhere in the UK. That's why he's sold out two nights at St James' Park, and is headlining Reading & Leeds + TRNSMT.

Yep, and that was posted at the end of March, when it was announced...

doh, i should have checked that date.

[DomDom1984]

Yeah, BST have no reason to go after a guy like Fender for shows they don't need to push sales for. Of course it's possible they could be really stupid but not seeing much evidence of that so far.

No one is too big to sub for Boss. Hoping for John Mellencamp to arrive in London. Better artist than Sam Fender

Looking forward to rolling stones being added to the line up

I don't think Sam Fender's unwillingness to do it will be the problem here. I reckon he'd absolutely love to share a stage with Springsteen.

BST won't be stupid enough to needlessly spend the money for him though.

Sam Fender "has far better things to do" than support Bruce Springsteen.

Like, er, supporting Bruce Springsteen (in Italy)

Is he selling out stadiums and headlining festivals in Italy? I don’t think so.

Think this sums it up nicely.

BST kind of spunked all the big Springsteen influenced supports last year by having Fender and TWOD support Stones.

Well, no. But at the same time it's silly straight up claiming Fender wouldn't want to support Springsteen at all. He'd probably do it at BST if he was asked (which he won't as it's unnecessary as mentioned but even so)
