It's not small but when stadiums became a become a factor in bands schedule an arena in quite intimate. The thing is so many bands play arenas now it's no longer your staple to headline really. That doesn't mean he can't.

Eh. Fair one. Maybe in my head I'm still used to thinking of turning up at Shepherd's Bush Empire or Kentish Town Forum or something like that as the intimate date.

 

Presumably if you're in U2 and have spent most of the last 40 years playing stadiums that a show of SBE/KTF size would feel like playing in your living room.

Not sure I'm too sold on Stevie personally. I think the first two are probably right, but maybe the 3rd could come out of left field. How would a Robbie Williams Sunday headliner go down?

 

I think Robbie 4th down would go down fine, as a headliner I think it would be frowned upon but there is no doubting he could deliver. I think Rihanna and Robbie in the same year would be awful.

I've been baffled all bloody day about the return of Northside. They were a joke first time around, let alone 30+ years later.

I think they might have been before my time.

Absolutely. The settle on "intimate" shows is weird. Fender's arena dates aren't so much, but may become so with the sense he will do stadiums next year.
