Live at the Piece Hall 2025

Wouldn't say crap. Most of them should sell, and that's what they need to do.

[NorthernSoul52]

Heck, The Script, Simple Minds and Texas have all sold out initial allocation. That's good enough for the organisers, I reckon.

Some good acts that can also sell would be good. Instead of crap ones that sell.

Hey now, Simple Minds are quality. Texas got some tunes for days too.

Wonder if this would be Elbow's cup of tea. Did in the Futuresound days, so really depends if they'd be on the C&T roster for the summer.

Confess I wasn't aware of the guys, but a quick listen and sounds like an interesting booking!

 

Edit: they're playing Gunnersbury park too, with TV on the Radio support

I was aware of them but hadn't appreciated how popular they have become.

Good gigs for them.

The Piece Hall really does have a lovely surround internally - Halifax town, not so much - and the acoustics are pretty good to boot.

Shame the venue has been plastered with TK MAXX logos so everywhere you look you can see that rather than the venue.

Weren't they going bust once upon a time? TK Maxx gets everywhere these days.

I think that was TJ Hughes or something like that.

[NorthernSoul52]

Eh, too many TJs, it seems.

[dotdash79]

Never T.J. Hooker

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Nicely done.

[NorthernSoul52]

I must say, were they not touring together next year, would have expected Busted to follow McFly and pop up here next year. Probably not the case now - they'll want to keep their powder dry for the big one, unless sales are terrific.

Elbow have just announced a few dates. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they do a few of the Cuffe and Taylor events, although possibly not this one, as York/Manchester already there

[NorthernSoul52]

I've got to assume they won't be on here for that very reason, though must admit they did cross my mind as a likely candidate.

 

The Stranglers tapped up for a few other C&T events, but having just done this one, you can safely rule them out.

 

If he's holding off dates while he has the proper tour to shift this autumn, Paul Weller seems the kind of shout that they might go for. He's had previous, in 2022.

I would say that the maniacs might be back. New music and I think they are active. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Manic Street Preachers?
