Concerts at SOL in 2022

[ErichZann]

Was just going to ask, which way will the stage be facing , as loads left in the east stand. Dont want to look at the back of his head like.

I've seen Metallica with the stage in the middle they had mics all over so Hetfield walked around in between verses/songs to face different sections

 

[Drexl]

Just bought a ticket for Ed Sheeran and got my neighbour to wipe his arse on it

I saw them do that at Newcastle once.

I was there too. That was a great gig.

Are people thinking he's just going to stay at one place on a round stage?

I think most are thinking of their Wife/lass or kids

 

[Hull_Mackem]

I think all you’re doing is shifting standing space to seating space in the south stand, so probably the same or even less?

Nah. The stage takes up the same space wherever it is placed on the pitch. Probably less for Sheeran compared to big production numbers like take that. And then you have the added bonus of 8000 seats in South stand available.

 

[Dan The Man]

He’s on bbc one now live he’s utter shit like

 

[joebolton]

I have bit the bullet and gone for u31 north stand. Quite near @hank williams seat like so i hope that noisy young man isnt going.

Too right. I have got some brownie points in there.

[bobster999]

when the stage is in the middle it's known as 'in the round'. it's a really good setup but isn't done by many bands

 

[Stray Cat]

Still loads of tickets available including standing.
What's the view like from the East Stand top section?

What’s to see?

Strange as they are electronic only. Do you live next door to sol Campbell?

Westlife are a fan. Britney has that setup the last few times I’ve been to see her.

Is he fuck. Not my cup of tea and I wouldn’t go and see him if there got a ticket for free, but he is not shit at all. He is obviously talented and is the most popular UK artist by some distance, but he isn’t shit just because you don’t like his music.

 

[gatesheadsteve3]

Aye, they followed it up with an arena tour that wasn't a sell out either.

Seems they are definately doing UK stadiums next year though. Maybe if they stick a decent support bill on this time

Didn't sell that well last time around
(Even though I'd be tempted to go if they did)

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

This. Imagine thinking they would sell tickets with a view from behind

Royal Albert Hall and Gateshead Sage, Hall 2 are two venues that sell tickets behind the stage.

 

[AndrewP]

I was there too. That was a great gig.

Are people thinking he's just going to stay at one place on a round stage?

It worked well there as the band kept changing positions, so you always had a good view of someone.

Not sure if it'll work as well for a solo artist?

He's nee Vicky Leandros.

Ear plugs and anti-blandess pills needed in the vicinity of the stadium for an extra day.
