Gigs back at sol

Muse dates are weird as 7 day gap between both UK dates, and the Bristol date has been removed .
 

It’s definitely going to be the Spice Girls I reckon, seems too much of a coincidence that SD said last week it was signed off and this is announced today.
The bands playing are never going to please or suit everyone but I’m just glad they are starting again

Mind you, I was watching the U2 Croke Park gig over the weekend.

There's a really thoughtful and touching bit during "Where The Streets of No Name" where the Irish equivalent (I presume) of the Red Arrows flew over the stadium with the colours of the Irish flag trailing behind.

Logon or register to see this image


Imagine if they do this at the SoL but the smoke colours are just red and white?!?!

Was class being at that gig just purely because of it being U2 in Dublin, but the fly over during Streets was extra special especially how well timed it was for the moment in the song.

It's almost as if the band have no say and just play where they are told.

The band's management send out an email to promoters saying they want to tour between certain dates.
Promoters/venues send back a list of available dates.
The tour is then made up from that list, with places that have sold well in the past given higher priority over the rest.

yeah, there's loads of clips on YT from punters in the crowd. Those that were right at the front almost missed the fly-past.

however, those in row ZZ could see them coming from when they appeared on the horizon, so they got some notice as-it-where. Truly a great moment for fans.
