Its an absolute pain that so many tours skip the midlands now. I can just about make a weeknight gig in Brum or Wolves but any further than that and I'm looking at having to take annual leave and I don't get enough of that to use it on gigs. There must be so many people that just don't go now...

They've announced their tour and its Manchester and London again. Unless I missed it has got to be years since they've played Brum, or any Wests Mids gig for that matter.

There's articles in the US press now about how they're going to save live music and stop venues shutting as there's now an underground punk movement. Its a nice sentiment and hopefully true but I suspect that movement has always been there, its just getting more attention now. But as happened...

Well obviously they're a hardcore band but I just mean their sound is more commercial than the likes of Sick of it All, Cro-Mags etc. But I'm very aware of not being that Pistols fan from the 70s hating Green Day, Rancid, Offspring etc because they've sold out and aren't real punk :ROFLMAO...

I’m of an age where I just laugh at the kids thinking they’ve discovered a new thing 😂 Can’t decide if they’re great or a commercialised version of what I used to listen. Is quite comical the number of comments I’ve seen about people ‘living in the moment’ at their gigs and not watching...

Would rather they got Kneecap back out than have to sit through this 😂

They should book Alice Cooper, people online would lose their minds when he brings the guillotine out

Doesn’t seem a great solution that 1 in 5 children, and rising, has to go to private school. Although the stats don’t seem to back that up. The percentage of SEND kids in public and private education seems to be roughly the same. And I’m sure the parents of non-SEND kids aren’t going to be too...

Wonder how many people actually watched Vylans set. I would expect iPlayer wasn’t exactly creaking at the seams trying to cope with the number of viewers. At some point people might learn not to rush to social media and these things would pass by with hardly anyone noticing. Also, what did he...

well yes, I'm not saying autism didn't exist. but, in my school at least, there was one or two 'unruly' children per class. Now from what stats I can find, in the TES, we're now looking at 1 in 5 kids and its rising by about 100K a year, far faster than the rise in the school age population...

Obviously learnt nothing from Kneecap. Expect Vylan will be moving to playing larger venues now.

You pretty much can't tour without Ticketmaster these days, especially in the US. Pearl Jam tried it years ago and found it near impossible and the situation is way worse now in terms of the Ticketmaster monopoly. They did donate millions from ticket sales to charities in the cities they played.

this thread is like when you see a post from Rage Against the Machine and the replies are Americans saying they aren't going to listen anymore because they've suddenly gone political

Stalls O23, excellent view. It's not a huge theatre tbh so you'll get a good view from anywhere. Might be worth just trying for tickets on the day. It's been on a while now so I don't think many performances are total sell outs. I went Saturday afternoon and it was full but not sold out.

Facebook is completely un-useable now. Entire feed filled with random shit the algorithm has decided you want to see rather than the actual things you follow. Their usage stats must be way down. Few years back I'd be checking it multiple times a day. Now it's once a day max, quick scroll, see...

I get that, and that's obviously a good thing. But has the needle gone too far in the other direction? When I was at school in the 80s there was zero pupils with any kind of autism or anything else that required special arrangements. Now thats obviously unlikely but could it be equally unlikely...

Some people need to read up on the Streisand effect. They were playing to the proverbial 2 men and a dog not long back now they're getting fucking huge crowds at Glastonbury and other festivals and headlining Wembley.
