Central Cee MSE ffs

edit to elaborate - he's big here, releases a big tune every few months but tour sales wise he is nowhere near MSW now, let alone MSE by then.

You can really tell the age of people with their predictions

Stormzy // Paramore

Olivia Rodrigo // Aitch

Foo Fighters // Biffy Clyro

Not sure how i feel that only Chad is on my side on anti Central Cee MSE lol

[Guest]

Central Cee will be a bigger draw than Stormzy in 2025.

How old do you think I am lol

Central Cee is such a tough one, I previously was very vocal about him being a main sub (which he ended up being) - but he does need to prove himself ticket sales wise. I think he's more likely to headline somewhere like Parklife first before headlining MSE (which I can certainly see happening at some point). If his next album is another hit, alongside some more big singles, I can see him doing it, but until then, I am slightly doubtful. Guess things could change in the new year, as I'm sure another project isn't too far away - but think he needs to do something like Parklife, or The O2 etc etc first, before MSE.

Defo, especially with them selling out MK Bowl that fast. I'd swap them with Kasabian.

Probs just as much crossover as the pairings this year, bar the Gallagher/Catfish day. Both pretty current/high charting artists so if you're a big Radio 1 listener you'd probably be into both.

Happy to pay 110 quid to see them? Not going to happen

What? Have you seen how many tickets Noah Kahan has shifted next year in the UK?

A day can be bleak and still shift tickets

Although not sure its that! Central Cee's biggest ever show is *checks notes* ... a single night at ally pally

How many of them have paid 110 and are travelling an hour plus to see him in a field?

 

Don't forget that there were loads on here predicting that if Liam Gallagher and Fred Again were at Reading their days would be instant sell outs. A month later.... not a single ticket category, indeed not even the 'first tier' of tickets have sold out.

Selling a 100 quid ticket to see someone in a field when you have to book a hotel because you can't get home, is not in anyway as easy as selling a 60 quid ticket at your local megadome in the middle of town.

Sure but the demand for him to do a proper tour is surely there. He never has before, so although you can't demonstrably say how many tickets he would shift, I'm pretty sure he'd comfortably sell out an arena tour in the UK.

So it won't be an instant sell out, like literally every year? What's the problem here?

An arena tour of what size? To headline MSE you need to be doing around 3 o2 dates minimum at £60-80 prices at least + all other cities

Really don't think he can do that

I think he'd sell absolutely loads of tickets in London, yeah.
