Genuinely, I think I'd rather stand through 90 minutes of an artist making an attempt to sing than with autotune assistance. Quite possibly the worst technological "advancement" to happen to music in the past 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and with all the other fake stuff (ABBA Voyage - I know it’s supposed to be fantastic but I’m not interested) it’s a depressing future. Maybe every artist will be AI in the near future. Perfect in every way but soulless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neville Street Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Sting was great at Cardiff Castle earlier this year. As I’ve seen the show I can go see something else instead, leaving space for whoever needs it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouserat Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Is Peter Gabriel still touring? Saw an ad for his new album the other day and wondered if that means he'd be in the conversation for legend. Feel like it's normally the case that there's something the Legend is hoping to promote, even if it's just another greatest hits compliation.

Though I expect he'd like to lean heavily on the new material rather than the hits which would send the camping chairs to sleep. Honestly wouldn't know where else to put him though. Doesn't seem quite big enough to headline but maybe too big for any other slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a one off tour. but Peter Gabriel in some form (west holts headliner? But too big maybe) is not a bad shout Sting did a joint tour with Paul Simon which was amazing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only stages he would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
