Hear’Say Reunion! Coming back strong… with Liberty X - to arenas! (1 Viewer)

when can we get some fucking regulation on these arseholes. that would be a popular win for Burnham.
 
The bubble isn't bursting, there's just fewer and fewer artists inside that bubble. The Oasis tour went in a flash, Glastonbury tickets were the most expensive ever and they were gone in minutes. Obviously there;s the knock on effect although I'm not sure of the crossover between Oasis and Liberty X/Hear'say.
 
I do think it's a big or go home mentality in both the audience and the industry. If you're a popstar, unless it's a big stadium show by Harry Styles, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc what hope do you have.
 
MNEK has also cancelled his tour... :eyes:

PCD felt very full! Maybe they're hoping and/or not caring if the arena is full of people who've gone on seatfiller.com

Is this not destined to sell similarly to The Pussycat Dolls? Do people really have all this money to burn in the current climate? 🤦🏻‍♀️

MNEK's venue here was only 600. It's a boat. How high could the production costs be?

This reeks of some kind of weird insurance scam.

A one-off gig in London or something would have been the absolute max this could realistically have achieved successfully.

Is it like the Robbie Williams monkey film?

I'd have tested them with a handful of (much) smaller venues, tested demand with that and hopefully build some hype, and then go bigger (but not this big) if it all went to plan.

It seemed odd that Myleene gave that response about 'no concrete plans' or whatever it was when there clearly were. Perhaps she just had a bit more insight and was realistic about what may actually happen.
 
Maybe I'm vastly overestimating the intelligence of the live music industry, but I just cannot believe this would have gone through multiple negotiations and contract sign-offs without somebody stepping in and asking "Hang on a second, is there actually any tangible evidence of demand for this?"

My only conclusion beyond money laundering is that the Popjustice/Popsquare gays have become too powerful.
 
How has Take That pulled off a 17 date stadium tour this year? It’s like they have a blood oath with women of a certain age.

They could have done something so much more sensible like a sanctified 25 years on anniversary documentary of Popstars/The Rivals/Pop Idol on ITV1 coinciding with a Mighty Hoopla date, some inoffensive festival dates around the country - most importantly building up a live act reputation and then do a 8 date tour or something.

Will the combined ticket proceeds so far even cover their nine Avanti Off-Peak Returns to BBC Breakfast and back? :(

Are we really comparing take that to this lot!???
 
There must be huge implications from the venue if you don’t perform? Their argument would be “well you’ve cost us a potential booking for that date now”. Which makes me think why Robyn just went with it anyway?

But someone’s always willing to insure SOMETHING
 
Maybe they just need to take the hit now and build up a reputation for being great touring act like Take That have done
 
AI tells me the promoters take the biggest financial hit and the artist just receives a fee from the promoters. I guess there’s a bit of a gamble there where if you’re say Girls Aloud and the reunion tour ends up doubling in size you’re not getting paid as much as you would maybe like for the work BUT the promoters did take on the initial risk if it DIDN’T work out

They were giving away free tickets to Take That at London Stadium this summer for local workers. Loads of my colleagues went just for the hell of it.
