Mr Popodopolous Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 2 hours ago, RedRaw said: I think what the Nordic Nutter may be getting at is that although successful, the current acts at the gate are for the 30-50+ age groups. It would be good to see if we can attract the younger acts and subsequent crowds such as Little Mix, Bieber, Grande, Sheeran etc. Maybe not a lot of peoples cup of tea on here but it would be a huge attraction for the teens-20+ in the wider west country This would really put us on the map and I have the feeling that 1 or 2 acts like that is what we may be aiming for next year I get your point, though I think less so with Muse- though I assumed they came out in the early-mid 2000's as that is when I mainly recall them! Wasn't aware they were indeed 1994, debut album 2019 until I just googled it. Overall though that would be a good move promoting wise and as you say a major attraction for the younger crowd- helps that Muse are still very much active and indeed decent in terms of more younger than the other 3- which isn't what can necessarily be said for the other 3 bands.

This is an absolute wild guess, the talk of a Billy Graham gave me a brainwave ( or as near to a brainwave as I get). What about....The Rolling Stones? I’m not a fan, can’t think of much worse but they would be HUGE. I think they are touring now, or did they cancel as Sir Mick recently had heart surgery or something, I remember seeing it on the news a while back. It would be a return to the Gate too? Real question is, would I make a better music promotors than our Swedish friend? Yes please. I would love to see a gig at the Gate but unfortunately none of the recent artists do it for me. Either The Jam, Stone Roses, Liam Gallagher, Kasabian or The Strokes would be a dream also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Gutted I missed Muse. I believe the only reason it didn't sell out was because Bristol was announced after Manchester and London and although people were offered the chance to switch venues, many had already booked and paid for transport/accommodation so went to those shows instead. A very large contingent did travel up the M5 from Devon to see the local lads and some even travelled from as far as Cornwall. Hopefully, they'll return in a few years.

I don’t mind Bastille, but when they play places like Plymouth Pavillions, it’s pretty easy to get tickets. Unless their new album rips them to a new level, or they piggyback on a stage for a bigger band on a different day, you have close to no hope. Bands/Artists who could sell it out who are likely to tour stadiums in 2020 (some may be too big): - Springsteen - Madonna - Kasabian - Kings of Leon - Foo Fighters - Killers - Metallica - Ariana Grande - Taylor Swift Take your pick...

New Dazzler Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 There is definitely a pattern developing here, which is why professional promoters and others in the music business are used to determine which acts can make a commercial success of performing at a stadium gig, rather than a particular fan base. Last year Ed Sheeran played 3 gigs at the Principality and sold out each one, so it is laughable to suggest that he couldn't fill the gate, just because he is not someone's personal taste. But there are only a few acts that you would say would definitely sell out, I would suggest The Stones, U2, Fleetwood Mac and Springsteen are a given, but it does make me laugh when someone comes up with a band that would struggle to sell the Fleece. Bands like Bastille and the Manics, have been suggested, well they both recently played Bath Forum (capacity of around 1500). Simple Minds were a big stadium band in the 80s, times have changed. There are also many other factors, as mentioned previously Muse did not sell out AG, but they announced bigger stadium gigs before AG, and I believe that many Welsh fans bought Take That (or was it Spice Girls) tickets for AG, only for gigs then to be announced in Cardiff, and swapping tickets seems to be a nightmare. Prices and the number of gigs also play a big factor. But there is a lot of musical snobbery out there, if a band is commercially successful but not your cup of tea, there is a simple answer - don't buy a ticket!
