scatteredscreens Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Geoff Barrow is leaving Beak>. Don't think it would happen next year but I think Portishead could be on the horizon, 2026 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't getting any younger - they'll come back and surely PS will book them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

scatteredscreens Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited 13 hours ago by Quadrophobia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Not sure if I follow. What does a Beak date in March have to do with Portishead now Barrow has left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting from the fact that there is no hint that Portishead will reform anytime soon, I think it is pretty clear that Barrow will not leave Beak> just to do another tour a month later.

There's not many legacy bigger bands around next year by the looks of it. I really hope you're right! I've never seen either and people rave about their live shows.

ConfidenceMan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I was putting together a list of my favourites for the year so far and I was surprised to see how much straight alt rock and indie stuff was there. Not sure how much would end up on a bill next year, but I've really enjoyed Jack White, Idles, Fontaines DC, and MJ Lenderman. I suspect the latter three might be more likely than White, but I'd have such a good time if he performed one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
