Maybe the Lumineers? EU/UK tour ends on 31/05

Only Spain dates are Bilbao and Madrid 

 

not actually sure if they would fit PS style

Not a fit, I'd say.

No

Geoff Barrow is leaving Beak>.

 

Don't think it would happen next year but I think Portishead could be on the horizon, 2026 maybe.

He said he’s retiring from touring. So I think Portishead are done unfortunately.

Good spot. They did a concert 2 years ago which was another clue.

 

They aren't getting any younger - they'll come back and surely PS will book them.

He has said that, you're right, but don't believe it for a minute!

 

They just won't tour with same frequency as Beak - might do a one-off run.

Just seen his own post. Hmm. I will say though as an optimistic take, he never really drummed with Portishead live. Might be easier for him to do. And I assume they'll do far less shows as mentioned above.

Also 0 mention of Portishead, maybe because that chapter isn't finished yet?

Might as well go for Imagine Dragons.

 

I wouldn't read anything into the Geoff Barrow statement, neither pro or contra future Portishead tours. However I think it should be clear that he is not planning on going back on tour immediately after citing health reasons for leaving Beak. Doesn't rule them out, but it sounds very unlikely for 2025

Yeah I agree, even without the comments around touring Beak have a date in March so any Portishead rehearsals might be a tight squeeze, for a band who havent done a full live show since 2015 I imagine they'd want to spend quite some time rehearsing properly if they were going to go on a tour.

4 weeks of rehearsals is enough?

For a band who haven't played live together in a decade (not counting the Bristol War Child gig which was a handful of songs and not the full touring band) I'd argue no.

 

2026 at the earliest in my opinion.
