That's good to know, thanks
That's good to know, thanksYep-some of our lot were of the same opinion and just had to end up walking as it was 90 minutes minimum wait for the trams etc.
Hopefully they might have it sorted next time
The whole thing is about making as much money as possible after NG’s divorce. It’s inevitable that they’ll do a European tour in 2026, including playing again in the UK.So, after Friday night we (me and missus DT-R) went straight up to Snowdon for a few nights and just got back to the land of Internet. Wow, what a night, what a gig, what a day.
It's clear how much this tour, and the band actually mean to LG. He gets a lot of shit over his actions of the past and a lot of the time with good reason. But its clear he's been doing some form of voice training. His voice was top notch. Best I've heard him in a very long time. Good set list. Great firework finally. My one and only criticism was that any song with brass and/or strings in them, were played in by a backing track. For such a huge and public tour with so many eyes (and it really think, their lap of honour and final tour) they couldve got some musicians to tour with them and really made a spectacle of it. Other that that, it was great. Loved every minute. I do really feel though, that a possible few nights at Knebworth aside, this really is more about their final goodbyes and a lap of honour.
Also seen 2 cov fans in the wild. To the one in the red ribero shirt who i shouted PUSB to just as Richard Ashcroft came on, if you're on here, thanks for spilling half your cider down my missus backhis mate followed him and apologised on his behalf.

Of course its about making money. People seem so hung up on the whole "they're only doing it for the payday" line. What does EVERY musician do a tour for? For the fucking money. Everything is about money. Taylor Swift did that HUGE tour that seemed to last 6 years. The talk around that was how amazing it was she was doing so many dates and how strong and independent she was etc. She'd of made double what Oasis did as a solo artist. Not one single person has mentioned her touring and making so much money.The whole thing is about making as much money as possible after NG’s divorce.

Did you wake up this morning and go to work out of the love for your boss and enjoyment of the day? Did you fuck, you did it for the money.
Like I said in my post, LG especially for me felt like it wasn't just the money. Yes, they've money is fucking great, but he genuinely is in it for his band. Hes taking this tour seriously. Whether his voice will go the distance we will see, but he's certainly been working on it so it wouldn't surprise me if it does last the tour.

I mean, money aside, she couldn't stand Liam and is mostly the reason the brothers weren't talking so with her still in the picture there wouldn't be a tour.I think it’s more the fact there wouldn’t be a tour if he wasn’t getting divorced.
That along with the whole dynamic ticket pricing debacle makes the whole thing abit of a money grab.
Don't get me started on Taylor Swift. Got to hand it to her she's got amazing PR because every move she makes goes unquestioned and passed off as some revolutionary 'changing the music business' idea.Taylor Swift did that HUGE tour that seemed to last 6 years.

I'm glad I live in a world where this is the only way I find out what Taylor Swift is up toDon't get me started on Taylor Swift. Got to hand it to her she's got amazing PR because every move she makes goes unquestioned and passed off as some revolutionary 'changing the music business' idea.
Remember years ago when she first came over I was working in the industry at the time and went to a thing where Scott Borchetta, the guy who signed her, was speaking. He was talking about how they had a plan for her in Europe which involved her being over here at least once a year, pretty much unheard of for a country artist at that time, and the budget for that was well into 7 figures. But when she wanted to walk away she was happy to make out he'd done fuck all because he wouldn't hand over her entire catalog, that he had bankrolled, for free.
Then there was the whole re-recording thing. Was made out like nobody had ever done it before despite it being a very common thing for bands who don't own their rights, which is pretty much every band. Normally because they're a one hit wonder who over the lifetime of their career haven't recouped the label investment so don't get much in the way of royalties. Then to top it off when she finally buys the rights back, which was an option all along, that's also lauded as some genius move.
As well as getting people to pay to buy releases they've already got, and multiple versions of them, she's pumping out very expensive merchandise at an astonishing rate which given the demographic of her fanbase isn't really on.
If someone like Oasis did the same people would be going nuts but when she does it everyone is saying its amazing.
Not in it for the money, only doing it for an expenses paid world tour? Aka, the money/benefits.What does EVERY musician do a tour for? For the fucking money. Not exactly true there some musicians will tour just to be there and travel the world if you look outside the mainstream you would see this .
Some grassroots artists it will cost them money to tour i don't think you get the idea of it ? Not every touring musician is playing to 20k+ crowds every night .Not in it for the money, only doing it for an expenses paid world tour? Aka, the money/benefits.

Supposedly it’s to protect the local wildlife and stop loads of people showing up who would then have to be policed/pick up litter etc. Bit of a killjoy obviously but I get it.Anyone else seen the whole debacle around the "Gallagher Hill" as its been named? I'm a bit confused as to the exact reason the council have decided to cut down trees and erect fences?! Talk about a A) Waste of time and B) Waste of tax payers money!
It's ridiculous. I could understand if there were 50k tickets left unsold whilst 40k people sat outside and watched for free. But its a fully sold tour. What harm exactly are these people doing? They've not stolen anything. They've not harmed the bands profits. Just a typical local authoritarian power trip.

Painful that!
kind of sums up why a fence was needed doesn't it. people get told not to do something because it will cause damage in the area, do it anyway

Fuck all you losers who didn’t get tickets.
Unless someone has hacked Ticketmaster we’re all goodthe forum needs more sticking the boot in. Kudos.
Kinda hope the tickets end up being fakes, though
Are you going to leave them unironed?Off to Wembley Saturday.. with daughter, wife and god daughter. Never felt less arsed about a gig the closer it’s got. Loads of mobile phones filming and loads of middle class middle aged white folk trying to look working class. Pffffffff. Then the wife knowing all this because I’ve been moaning has got us a couple of t-shirts to complete my miserable build up.View attachment 44768
Are you going to leave them unironed?
The Missus is currently away in the Peak District visiting her parents and gave me a ring all excitedly last night saying she had been sent a code for resale tickets but hadn’t seen the email and when she logged in they were all gone.
She only tries again tonight and this time she’s only got us two tickets for Wembley tomorrow night
Manic few hours of getting the day off work, booking trains, booking a hotel, sorting a dog sitter, getting some suppliesand I’m ready to fucking rock and roll!!!
Fuck all you losers who didn’t get tickets.
Don’t give a fuckWembley is a shit venue for a gig compared to Heaton Park or Millennium Stadium.
Looking forward to Wembley next week, but it’s fuck all rock and roll compared to Heaton Park.
Don't give a fuckWhat a fucking night.
