I am sure Jamie Cullum could be persuaded but his target audience probably would not want to go to a grubby football ground to watch him play.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

The Moyles Hangover from Manchester Albert Halls in January also has Toploader, Dodgy and Bez and Rowetta from the Happy Mondays. I wonder if we'll get some regional variations as well?
That was what I took from the mention of a "line up" in the poster. |

Elton is a bit of an exception because he's a big football fan and does clubs a favour, I don't think you'll find anyone else who could headline Glastonbury but would also play a 10-15k football stadium.
They would. If they play arenas they would. Some a lot smaller than o2/manchester 19k. |

Get what you are saying Dave, but it does seem to be a package from an external company. I don't know but I suspect the logistics of it all will be handled by them.
Fingers crossed it is |

I mean there has to be more than just this, right? This is the sort of thing that's on the smaller stage at a Uni May Ball.

It's a bit square pegs and round holes isn't it? The proposed gigs are more suited to the legends lounge or the meca. It sort of makes no sense to have this on the pitch

There's a few people in this thread who know a lot more than I do about this, but I understand the economics of indoor vs outdoor gigs are fairly different, not sure you can compare a purpose built concert venue of 15k or whatever with a football or cricket ground trying to hold a similar number. |

I hope the idea is to make them into sort of mini festival style events, that you would otherwise have in an open field (Cricket grounds are often used because of this). You need to bring in all the stuff around the outside though, like food trucks, toilet facilities 9I presume they open up the stands for this type of use as well), some fairground style attractions etc. I would think they hope to do better than a field because they can leverage the corporate facilities as well, and sell premium tickets as a result. I think it has legs. I don't see it as a massive Revenue generator (basically 4/5k with the ticket prices being pitched, plus several hours of concession revenue, would just about match the revenue from a cup game), but it may be something incremental during a period where you can't get a decent friendly on. It's a case of doing something in the wheel house of the CCO, who has run night club nights. |

What was the last concerts that failed and lost money? Can anyone remember the acts?
