That suggests to me a selection of smaller artists skewing older. We'll see. 

I was wondering if it may be some of those juke box shows they promote. E.g. they have James Brown, Taylor Swift, Whitney, etc, on the go at the moment

Or could perhaps be a bit more classical/jazz. I saw Gregory Porter last year at Lincoln Castle, and it would have been vastly improved by being seated.

 

Comedy last year was seated too.

Tempted by this one

All a bit beige this year isn't it? Long way from Boygenius, IDLES, War on Drugs of previous years. We're now steadfast at the 'mum-core' territory of... Olly Murs, The Script, and UB40? Add in Busted and Rag & Bone Man, it's hardly contemporary, finger on the pulse stuff

I'd like them to book The Black Keys. They're about the right size for this now I reckon. 

I presume the shows in Manchester and Leeds announced this morning rules them out.

Yeah would have thought so. Happy with the Manchester show as its only a few stops on the tram line for me.

TBF, Roger may be needing a seat too. When I saw the Who outdoors back in c.2005, they needed an interval mid-way

Tbf I'd have expected as such if they're having shows all the way from May to September.

 

Are there still a few spots to fill as well?

[scatteredscreens]

Given the victorious announcement im going to hope for a return of QOTSA or Vampire Weekend, im not confident though

Based upon last (34 events total), there are still relatively few events for June and August, but many more for July. Difficult to gauge therefore whether they are working to a max number of events (e.g. subject to licence conditions), or as many slots during the time period that they can fill.

Tbf neither is listed as being a Victorious exclusive.

 

EDIT: Nevermind apparently VW are a Victorious exclusive.

Will try and dig around to see if I can find out about license numbers.

 

Vampire Weekend is a festival exclusive, it seems @charlierc - which might bode well for a warm-up date here. I would expect them over Kings of Leon, by any stretch.
