If it's only 32,000 for gigs it just wouldn't be fair on the countless thousands left without tickets. Madness would be a decent shout. Massive Attack would be a no go after doing Bristol this year.

Very few bands can or could sell 32,000 tickets. Not at a premium price. Any'd need to find a promoter who wants to risk their money in an untried stadium. Reckon we'll end up with someone who will sell 'the lower bowl and pitch' - circa 15,000 Madness was last year - I should know as I was there!

Not as embarrassing as miming at Yate shopping centre in the middle of November to turn on the Christmas lights. I wonder if S Club 4 are doing Times Square this year!? Or New Year in Sydney.

Probably doing both, and doing their own navigation. Understand their mandate demands it.. Don't stop moving, find your own way to it. As it were.

That's the the key though, unless it is part of a bigger tour, the Glasto connection only tends to be those bands travelling past en route Randomly saw Franz Ferdinand on the The Thekla in one of these "gigs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's convenient for them, in terms of location and timing, and gives us a chance to show what we can lay on. I agree (if i read you right) that at this stage, getting an established band as part of a big tour is going to be a big ask until we've established some sort of reputation for a live concert venue.

Paul Weller has said there is 'not enough money in the world' for him to reform The Jam. Unless, of course, Steve Lansdown knows better On balance though, I think I agree with Weller. The Jam's gig at the Locarno in 1980 on the Sound Affects tour remains one of the finest shows of my life. Best not to devalue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Glastonbury headliners are a hard sell - yes they are big names but with most fans of said bands having tickets for Glastonbury how do you get them to shell out again for another gig in the same area?

Bristol Rob Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ideally it won't matter who they get in, the promoter will come up with a big lump of cash to book the venue, offer some sort of concession split and all the risk is on their side, so if they sell out or sell 50 tickets the club are quids in from the start. Once the venue is established as being live-music friendly then they can probably take a few more chances and accept some of the risk in favor of a bigger slice of any potential reward.

Septic Peg Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Forgot to suggest as well, Queen with Adam Lambert. I saw Queen (Roger Taylor and Brian May) with Paul Rodgers from Free a few years ago at Brum NIA. Brian was literally 10 feet from me. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

I've not seen them live, but against all my beliefs about bands carrying on without key members, I'm certainly glad they were able to get together and perform those songs. They still need to be sung live, Brian May etc need to perform. I'm happy they have found a way. I would have loved to have seen Queen live.

Queen were the backing band, a little known bunch of hairy students, gave 'em five mins before deciding to hit the bar for a couple of beers while waiting for Mott .... duh! ... if only we'd known.
