Its mega eclectic, which is a great thing! i just wish they'd scatter some of the new and the old around a bit, instead of splitting them up. Wonder if it informs the setlists they'll be picking? saturday more reliant on the 13/think tank kind of songs, and sunday all over MLIR and Leisure?

ClementsMike Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I got Sunday tickets and am happy with that. I've never seen the Selecter despite being a long time 2-Tone fan so will enjoy that. Loads of people on here hate PW, but I'm all over that. Nice one.

dreams_burn_down Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'm going on Sunday too. On balance I think the Saturday bill is better and I'm sad to be missing Jockstrap, but I've never seen Paul Weller before so not too disappointed.

I wouldn't bet on it - they've only done a few back-to-backs since the first reunion (Hyde Park, Coachella, Wolverhampton) and they basically played the same set each time.

Hugh Jass II Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Surprised the Saturday support hasn't rolled over. You'd have thought when they signed the supports up the likelihood of a second night was discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought when they signed the supports up the likelihood of a second night was discussed. That had been my assumption. Bit of an odd one. That said, there appeared to be a good chunk left for the Sunday a few weeks ago. No disrespect to the Saturday bill, but tossing Weller on here will help shift a few of those fencesitters.

MrRadioactiveCake Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Sounds like Damon's going straight back to Gorillaz once summer's over btw - good new apple music interview out if you can stand Zane Lowe. Will be touring big venues in the autumn apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 You'd hope given it has been six years since they've really played the UK outside of London, Gorillaz have a run of arena shows to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenlangan95 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 The fact that Damon Albarn suggested stadiums in that interview. Delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Absolutely. Touring stadiums in the British autumn? Lost your marbles with this weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffJeff Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Just watched the recent Zane Lowe interview with Damon on YouTube and its really good stuff. I never new song writing could be so simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Find Albarn oscillates between wildly engaging and highly insufferable for me, so probably that sweet spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost your marbles with this weather! @aidenlangan95I am pretty sure the intention is a few big venues in North America. With a big undercard. Maybe an East Coast, a west coast, and somewhere inbetween. Stadiums in the UK in autumn would be insane, and they are also obviously not popular enough in the UK. They have however really built the live following in the US over 13 years. Its been an impressive effort. Zane Lowe was obviously invited to mention "stadiums", so there must be something in it. I pretty much laughed at the idea of Blur doing Wembley, yet they've obviously managed to completely sell out one date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Blur shifted tickets like hot cakes for BST a few years ago though, didn't they? Never doubted they'd shift for a single Wembley Stadium date, particularly if billed as their only date of note. Think that second one has been a bit ambitious though.

I got one for £2.50 a few days before. But think the appetite is higher now. They been around a fair bit 2009-2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yeah BST didn’t sell well at all. Cheap tickets all over the shop. IIRC it was pretty pricey with a less than stellar undercard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
