I'll have to put up with Reytons on the Saturday at Tramlines, who are inexplicably headlining.
It's frustrating for folks like us that live in Sheffield that they rarely play within a 30 minute drive of here. It's always bloody Leeds, Manchester, York etc

I think Sheffield misses out these days for several reasons. One, our venues aren't really good enough - Leadmill is great but small, O2 horrible and only 2k or so, City Hall is all seating, then it jumps to the arena. Two, I think it's easier for bands to play Leeds and Nottingham for which catchments both include Sheffield.

I think it's a real shame that the old John Lewis isn't being knocked down and a proper purpose built venue constructed, one that could host the snooker better but maybe also cater for bands who need 3-4k capacity. From what I know the council didn't want the building to be listed, but they are now hamstrung by that.

I must have had a rare good experience at the O2 Academy, saw them once there and enjoyed it, sound and atmosphere were decent and they were on good form that night.

I'd head over if they decided to play Corp.

Yeah maybe I've been a bit harsh there. Octagon is ok too, I saw them there in 2007. That was a good night.

I think and FacelessSenseOfVoid here have a point though, it does seem to get overlooked at times. I used to head to Sheffield for quite a lot of gigs at one point (mid 2000s), but about a decade after that some friends there said it had dried up a lot. Not just gigs but general things to do as well.

Interesting... wonder if there'll be other small record stores or if that's a one off.

That acoustic show they did there a couple of years ago was very much a one off (well, apart from being two of them in one day)

The last time they did this they bumped one of the shows to 8:30 and put in another 6:30 one (and tried to sell lots of CDs at both, naturally)

Yep, I went to both of those and I would do the same if they add another show to this date!

Got tickets for both Glasgow shows. The second night in Glasgow is myself and my other half's anniversary and it was due to Manics that we met, so it'll be incredibly special. My 10th and 11th shows. Looking forward to them.

First Manics show of 2025 tomorrow (is that an earliest date ever for that to happen?) Anyone made it to Tokyo to see it? Will they throw in much new stuff to the set or will it be the two most recent singles plus the hits?
