Gigs back at sol

Not open for further replies.

I've had a change of heart and I think I might go to see the spice girls. Thinking back to how big they were in the 90's and being able to see them at the sol is quite something really. Be miles better if posh was there but still...

The thing is, whoever or whatever is booked for the stadium, what does it matter if it's generating a bit of revenue for the club and bringing an event to the city? It's not like the club's signed some striker ya've never heard of to play week in week out, so what exactly is there to be underwhelmed about? It's a bit of entertainment, you're either interested or you're not. Somebody will be. Does the Metro Arena discriminate on grounds of taste? Does the Sunderland Empire? Do they bollocks. They're just venues for shows that some people want to see, and that's what the Stadium should be too. They could have a Walt Disney production of X Factor on ice for all I care, as long as it does a bit of business for Sunderland.

AC/DC would be better though.
 
Got a good feeling it's gonna be Muse, purely down to the big Sunderland connection.

If it's Rammstein though....OMFG!!!!!

Maybe it would be but they turned the club down when they were active.

I don't think they would ever play up here again. I'm sure I read that the last time they played up here they didn't sell out the arena and Brian wasn't too pleased, and more or less said as much.
Early 2000's?

That's been the accepted line on it since the '90s.

Whatever reason they had for not playing here on the Rock Or Bust Tour with Brian though was purely down to the band.

I was hoping it would be someone I’d like to see. Obv it’s great for the city etc etc etc
 
Reading this thread I get the impression some people go to a gig at the SoL just because it's a gig at the ground of the team they support, and feel it nigh on compulsory to attend. Probably never went to see any live music prior to the gigs at the SoL

Nah that's just the impression I get, as you addressed in one of your posts, why would somebody be annoyed about a gig just because it's somebody they don't like, then others saying they have attended bon jovi. Nobody with ears likes Bon Jovi
