In 22 looks like she subbed Sigrid on T'Other, but since then she has taken off, so who knows. I think she'd be a great sub for Pulp, but the poster seems to suggest Spiritualized for that, and a special guest TBA. Agree with you, the special guest slot would be a tragedy. She would definitely be worth more than that for a Sheffield audience. Also, she has a headline slot for End of the Road - I know that's a lot smaller, but confirms she can draw a decent sized crowd these days.

The 2022 performance on T'Other Stage was a belter.

I think Sheffield's love for her would make her a Sub-headliner or nothing. I'm happy to be wrong, though. I'm desperate for a good alternative on Saturday night...

Putting her up against the Reytons would be perfect - clash of the Rotherham titans! And would cater for a much wider audience.

Would Rebecca want to do main stage though after having doe T'Other already.

You're probably right, given her London theatre residency too. Any way she can be added to the weekend would be very welcome though

Slightly off-topic, but some promising news for Sheffield music fans - the O2 has submitted planning for a new roof

Fab news but I have enjoyed attending more gigs at the Octagon this past year! More reasonable (and better) drinks selection and great sightlines. I hope its reopening means more gigs rather than just moving everything back to the academy.

I'm in full agreement with you. I hope the Octagon continues to get bookings, despite the limitations it has in scheduling as a multi-purpose venue. I know some people don't like it, but it works well for me and agree there's a better bar and the sightlines are good. The O2 was never my favourite, but if we get more chances at tours stopping by, I'm very happy to see it reopen.

Pleased as punch to hear about a potential O2 reopening. Loathe Octagon, to the point I'd probably just rather go over to Leeds/Manchester date instead. No atmosphere whatsoever. Every gig I've been there feels like being in a village hall. Thornbridge on tap is nice though. But you can 100% tell it's a Uni space not a dedicated venue for live music.

Amazing how opinions differ.  I love it there and glad the O2 closed and allowed it to have gigs again.  The sound is far superior to the O2 and view is great from anywhere.

 

Probably nostalgia but I saw some great gigs in the 90s at Octagon so harking back to those.

An old favourite of mine too, I remember seeing The Jam (and many others)  there back in 1979.

I'm with you on sound quality. Never had issues with that at the Octagon.

Yep, he posted a similar one on BlueSky last night. One thing we know for sure, it's not Tramlines! And very unlikely to be another Sheffield date... wondering if maybe Lytham, Forwards, Come Together...? Probably not quite big enough for BST unless they are filling the Hugh Jackman gap

That's good. Didn't realize it was closed tbh but I've been there once or twice, and it's a great venue (well, two venues really, isn't it? I remember wandering from the smaller venue to a gig in the big venue completely unopposed lol).
