NorthernSoul52 Posted November 16 Author Report Share Posted November 16 Missed this one earlier this week. If they sell them both out, that's 12,000 tickets in an old industrial town, which isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains a bit about how they got started, their strategy if you can call it that, and why the venues they use work so well (tl:dr people don't get much live music around those parts) https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/26/lytham-st-annes-peter-taylor-daniel-cuffe-britney-kylie-scarborough?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffinghell Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Wondering if they'll get the Sex Pistols with Frank Carter given the increasing number of events they're popping up at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffinghell Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Clean Bandit also just announced a first outdoor, non-festival date, so could also be a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted November 18 Author Report Share Posted November 18 I already know several people depressed by what they view as the weaker quality of next year's selection against this year. Clean Bandit might genuinely cause them to have a breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted November 18 Author Report Share Posted November 18 I will say that a lot of the bookings so far have been artists with very recent gigs just up the road in Leeds too. James and Pendulum both at the First Direct Arena this year, as were Texas and Simple Minds, while Rag'n'bone Man and The Saw Doctors both played the city's O2 Academy in the last week. From that perspective, I understand why many feel that it is an underwhelming batch this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffinghell Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago C&T are promoting the Buena Vista Orchestra dates - would absolutely love that. They also list Ball & Boe on their roster, which is probably more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would also be very down for that. I saw Boe in Millennium Square a good few years ago - possibly nine - and it was a baffling seating arrangement. Can't have been more than 2,000 there if that - but he was in great form. Legged it into the crowd in the second half and started high-fiving every middle-aged woman in the vicinity, many of whom needed medical attention from the hysteria afterwards.

According to their Twitter they just hit no 1 with their latest album, and doing media rounds in the morning, so seems very likely.

Assume the arena tour for spring next year has sold well, and pretty certain they've done SOAT before on the coast. I would wonder how they'd do with a standing venue, mind you.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago They tease quite often, but nothing genuinely more than a don't-miss-this-at-this-time type of missive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
