I came on the forum after seeing the sad news about Marianne (RIP) but then saw this too. BV is right - one day we will all see our last RS show, maybe I already have. To be honest I've been thinking it was the last time since Bigger Bang ended at the O2 in 2007, so I've had a lot of bonus shows! The trick is to live in the moment and enjoy every great experience, whether it's s

Quotejohnnythunders This is an interesting development: Glad that the UK government is finally taking action - it's no good getting rid of touts if you allow Ticketmaster to become the biggest tout of all!

An article in the Times was illuminating for me re the 'real money issues' - apparently 2025 is the year Noel Gallagher will fully own the publishing rights to the Oasis back catalogue according to the original recording contracts. Value of back catalogues is dependent on streaming figures and Oasis has, traditionally, had lower streaming stats than the big artists who have sold their

Word is they have holds for ten more dates if required (Cardiff is going to need more shows for sure). Insane. That will be based on the numbers signing up for the presale. Cardiff is my top pick for a place to see them. By

Quoteroller99 We Americans and Brits should respect each other's preferences in music and never insult or throw jabs. America started the ball rolling with Elvis and Chuck Berry. Thank goodness that the UK had plenty of disaffected teens, who found this a perfect outlet for what they were feeling after the war. If it weren't for them reworking old American Blues music and sending it

Quotedaspyknows They must need money. Liam always needs money; the difference now is that Noel has had an expensive divorce. Seriously, though, I am on holiday and there are a lot of middle aged people who grew up in the Oasis/Brit Pop era around and it has been amazing to listen to the buzz about this reunion - all saying they will go to gigs.

Mick's the more business orientated and will prides himself on being financially astute....so to have the wool pulled over his eyes financially will have hurt, even at his then quite young age.

Stellar vocal from Mick (and beautifully supported by GaGa). If this really wasn't planned as a duet then it is a truly serendipitous bonus that she was in the studio. I love tis one.

QuoteSpud He can wear whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned. I was just amused by the "formal" black trainers. He's probably not doing even that for any sort of decorum or compliance with dress code but because having trouser and shoe in same colour gives the illusion of a longer leg; ordinary trainers with dress trousers would break the trouser line and make him lo

QuoteRocky Dijon I would suspect that a residency in Vegas would be very hard on Mick's throat. And on his image!

I would never rule out a couple of shows in one city over a couple of weeks - they've essentially done that in London before now

As far as I can tell on the basis of last year's performances they are still in 2023 one of the best live bands/music shows in the world. That's their defining feature now.
