More likely they just need to bag dates - reschedules mean larger venues are really booking up, especially in London where gigs are always at the weekend.

I do agree I'm still not all that confident of things planned for this year going ahead - I've actually been holding off buying tickets to anything all year just to avoid the disappointment. Hell, the Manics are playing a Derbyshire festival in July. I feel like it's a big step from where we are now to thousands of people up against each other in a field. Like Oh Nick said above, I'm sure in part it's just a case of securing the dates just in case they can go ahead. If by September everything is safe, it'd then probably be impossible to start booking a tour for the next six months or so as everyone will be trying to do the same and venues will be booked up.

Got Manchester, Stoke and York with no difficulties, and I didn't even check in during the first half hour. Definitely not the mad rush for tickets that I'm used to, but that's no bad thing.
So, I'm sorted for six gigs now. Whether any of them go ahead is another matter. First jab yesterday so I'm choosing to be optimistic.

I can comment on the venue availability bit. I run a large venue and we have spent the last year rescheduling tour after tour, sometimes 2 or 3 times for the same artist. Our diary is rammed in the autumn, and into Spring 22. I’m surprised that they were able to get the dates to put this tour together. But glad they did obvs..
Not much is selling, but a lot of the shows now rescheduled into the autumn were already well sold pre-pandemic. I’m expecting a big surge in ticket sales if Stage 4 is confirmed on 21st June, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that date pushes back a week or two. No privileged intel though, and the results of the test gigs (Blossoms in Liverpool etc.) have yet to percolate back into sector guidance. I very much doubt that the band will have been paid upfront, certainly not full fee. Many bands are on an element of % over a certain income level anyway. I’m optimistic but sanguine. I think we will reach Stage 4 in June (or thereabouts) but there may be enduring mitigations (face coverings etc.) for indoor venues. I reallly hope not. Mask or not I plan to be down the front at Mcr Apollo on 4th October, hollerin for Sleepflower ;-)

I’ve booked Portsmouth - I’ve not seen a MSP arena show since Dec ‘98 and don’t intend to start now.
It’s 18 months since the last time I went to any gig, so it’s as much about having something to look forward to, irrespective how fragile certainty might be. I’ve got my hopes up (against all better self-advice) for this record. I like widescreen MSP. ‘Lifeblood’ has had a massive renaissance with me over the last year or so and I certainly hear alignment to that album’s sound with the current single. It has to be time surely to ditch some of those overplayed SATT/TIMTTMY singles in the set to make room for a ‘To Repel Ghosts’, ‘1985’ and ‘Empty Souls’...

Been some time I posted here. Orwellian is fantastic. If this song were a single in the early 2000's, it would have topped the charts. Manics pure class. Who invented euphoric melancholia? I am so humbly grateful that they can still be the soundtrack of my life today. There is nothing but gratitude. See you guys on tour!

Agree with all of that. I wasn't sure at the start but it's now an absolute earworm that I can't get rid of.

There’s really something about this single. Probably my favourite since Empty Souls (though I also absolutely love Hold Me Like A Heaven).
