I think they’ve left enough space in the calendar for additional dates at those locations if it sells out (which it will).

Can’t see other UK locations at this point.
& Glastonbury has been ruled out.

I've seen them live, and they are excellent, but they never struck me as a headline act. They just didn't have that type of energy or presence.

I am fussy though, for example, I'd say the Arctic Monkeys are not headline material, but they headline a fair bit.

Never been a fan of Arctic Monkeys, I have no idea how a lot of the acts that headline festivals get up there. Fine, have your own tour, get support acts, whatever, but Arctic Monkeys have, imo, never been an international headline act. But it's not a symptom of modern society, it's popular culture which isn't a new thing - influencers might've gone online now but they have always existed, be it a newspaper or magazine columnist, trendsetter in the fashion world, athletes, whatever, people will copy what they see or hear is the thing to be doing to be popular. Popular culture isn't about how popular it is, it's about how popular it makes the person engaging with it, being aware of it and making the effort to lean into that era's "thing".

We get told that Arctic Monkeys are a headline band and see them being pushed in the media, people flock to their shows because they want to be associated with a "popular" band - they suck, they just have a great agent and promotion company, that's all.

Over time society does tend to right itself in a lot of cases, with the real cream rising to the top, where being described as "a cult-like following" is a badge of honour because it demonstrates a level of longevity and honesty from fans that "popular" never could. Oasis were popular but they've ridden that coaster for long enough and did it their own way, they're not coming back, while people have played their music continuously they technically never left

Arctic Monkeys, for me, make great music. They don't know how to headline a festival; their own concerts are half decent. I use Glastonbury 2023 as an example, you play to the crowd - instead they were the moodiest gits and their set was fucking awful. I've seen them in their earlier heyday, and they were electric. Now? Not so. Too far up their own arses.

Never got the Arctic Monkeys hype. Did a few funny songs about chavs on't piss, but that's about it for me.

Catfish & Bottlemen could be struggling with their gig at the stadium now Oasis will be at Wembley...

 

[kmk]

I have never heard of Catfish and the Bottlemen and it doesn’t look like they have ever had more than 1 top 40 hit.

Are they big enough to sell out a gig at a venue as big as our stadium?

Personally I've never liked them. I went and watched them earlier this year and thought they were shite.
I only went because my son really wanted to see them but felt Alex Turner was slowing down their songs and kept doing this annoying "hand thing".
My brother's who have been big fans since their early days said the band and their music changed when they moved to the US and became 'a bit poncy'

Personally I don't think they are but their management team/promoters must think so

What's the concert capacity, assuming a quarter of the stands are taken up by the stage?

I liked their earlier stuff, but this crooning shit they do now can get in the bin for me.

I came to say just this.

Haven’t got a clue who they are

 

[wishkah]

I think catfish are great, a throwback to ten years ago. But their mini peak was a few years ago and they’re still at 02 arena levels.

Imagine Dragons now. Not my bag, but they are an arena filler as far as I'm aware.

Getting a bit frustrated - really want to go to a gig at the stadium but every single one isn't my cup of tea

Rumors that Linkin Park have booked our stadium for their world tour next year. They are doing 6 dates all over the world in a couple of weeks and they are at the O2 for that but doing a 'proper' tour next year.
