As we're starting to see some 2024 dates come out, got into discussion with friends, what bands that haven't been pretty continuously touring the past two years might be touring next year? Only one I really got is Vampire Weekend. Radiohead would be cool too but sounds like we might get another Smile album before that happens. They are currently touring this year but did hear someone say Pearl Jam may do a bigger than usual tour next year. New Blur album has gotten some American radio play and I'd love to see them do some shows here, though I'm not holding my breath.
Any other big candidates?
Hoping Oneohtrix Point Never does a more extensive tour for Again than he has for the last couple of albums myself
Never seen Keane (somehow Snow Patrol weren't too uncool for me back in the day but Keane were) and I'm not buying a ticket a full year in advance for a show that might not even sell out in that amount of time, but there's a nostalgic part of me thinking "Oh yeah, I'd totally go to that."
Gf is a big Keane fan but is balking at this cause its the Greek. ( they always play there and it just annoyed her) and the price point is shit. Greek Berk is $120 before fees for seats. I think the market will def dip considering its a thursday. Surprises me they couldnt have booked a weekend in LA. And theyre a decent draw but its just crazy for them to announce this a year out. Shouldve announced it in the spring and gotten stronger sales.
I agree, if the artist is getting all the $, then at least I can make an informed value judgement about how much I can/will pay to see them. And can I add that I loathe the immediate hyperinflated resale market for every show. Mostly fake, perpetrated by promoters and venues, etc. Just tell me how much you're charging for a ticket and not pretend everything is a sellout and tickets are suddenly 200% as much.
The Rosenstock thing is bonkers to me. I'm either naive, or just not an evil corporation. They should all setup their merch tables just outside the venue property limits.
Encourage fans to buy directly from the artist's website. That solves the problem. Who wants to carry a shirt and poster around with them at a show, anyway?

Youre really going tell everyone to pay for shipping? Thats the solution?
You can get creative and set up a system where you can buy your merch before a show online and pick it up at the venue whenever you please from the merch table.

That doesn't really solve the problem because venues definitely aren't going to let you do this without taking a cut.

You could maybe do it once sneakily before the venue catches on
interesting to see sturgill in there. happy to see him playing live as well.
Sturgill is the coolest human to have existed and I really wish I was a sugar baby and someone would take me to this. First Sturgill show back idc where it is but my ass will be there. His last show was the day before I was supposed to go see him at Outlaw music fest in Charlotte. I was so ready for his bluegrass set.
interesting to see Sierra Hull in there. happy to see her anywhere...
I will continue to argue for her to get a Thursday set and not just a special guest appearance.
Hoping after her being in the SJ last year will get her a proper set on the farm. Or even better she can have 2 sets and one of them can be playing with Sturgill since she was in his bluegrass band.
L and I saw Sierra Hull at Hula in 2021 she was great. Love to see bad ass based Sierra Ferrel as well this year. She’s the most bad ass person in bluegrass.
if I knew I was getting 4 sets of Derek Trucks playing the John Mayer guitar role and Susan taking over the John Mayer vocal role I would spend the money. just feels like a roll of the dice

I saw Anthony Jeselnik Sunday and he had a booth set up to sell shirts using just a QR code. Scan the code and it’ll allow you buy directly from his site and he would cover all shipping. No worrying about waiting in line or sizes selling out. So, it’s not an outrageous idea.

Hull plays with Cory Wong a lot. In his interview with Hulu during the stream (taped before the superjam aired but shown afterwards since there were spoilers) he said she was the best stringed player they know. I posted it after I saw it, but here is Cory dressed up as postreznorjack . Superjam preview starts around 4:44. Sierra Hull part is at 7:30. "...Sierra Hull who's just an absolute assassin on mandolin. Maybe the best musician I ever played with?..."

i mean its pretty absurd to think about how much less sustainable that is than simply buying a shirt there

Also, you guys are crazy if you think venues won’t just start paying artists less if they’re not getting their cut on merch.
Now itll be interesting when they decide to fill in those gaps.
WAZZZZUP beautiful gizzheads
Stu here today. We’re planning a bunch of shows for next year as we speak - South America, more Europe and UK shows and a fat stack of USA shows. I thought we should give y’all an early heads up on a few of the larger USA shows. 4(!) marathon shows will go on sale with a special secret presale in 24hrs! OH SHIT!!
for a non-fest show at The Gorge like that King Gizzard show, do they do camping there?
yep! all shows have camping (i think all, at least i'm 3/3 on camping there). usually you can camp the night before as well, depends. i'm guessing for this one as a Sat show they'll open camping on Friday for it.
