I'm still fascinated how the hell they've ended up in Hull - more specifically at Craven Park. It's a tiny place compared to usual stadium tours, and not particularly in superb nick either.

 

But if it leaves a massive cultural and financial footprint for the city, then fair stuff. Absolutely go for it.

Woulda been good at the KC

I assume it's to do with the start of the football season. The league campaign will be on the home straight then, and Hull KR could feasibly get a few weeks on the road to accommodate it all.

 

I was in Perth last year, when they played their only Australian shows. Went for a tour of the Optus Stadium eight days before and they had already shut off huge swathes of it to begin construction.

 

Cannot imagine that this isn't a two-to-three week job.

It's a pretty intimate gig for them compared to the venues they normally play. I actually think Wembley will be a bit better though because the wristbands look so good in the upper tier

Absolutely is intimate. It's nice to see a group of their size plump for somewhere a little off the usual circuit of mega-shows. I know it hosted plenty back in the day, but Ed Sheeran rocking up at Roundhay Park for two gigs - which remarkably didn't actually sell out - on the end of the Divide Tour was a proper buzz.
