Jonny5 Â Â 10 #13 Posted September 18, 2017 Bands/artists don't always pick and choose where to go. Â It's more to do with bad venues having bad booking managers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest sibon   #15 Posted September 18, 2017 Also omitted from most comedians' tours (Count Arthur Strong, Dominic Holland, Mark Watson, etc.)   Mark Watson didn't do a very good job of missing Sheffield. I saw him at the Leadmill in June.  As for Count Arthur Strong, we can only count our blessings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

paula4sheff   10 #17 Posted September 18, 2017 Most bands miss put sheffield now. Arena tours from kasabian, liam gallagher,stereophonics all announced in recent weeks. No sheffield dates. So few bands choose to play here now. It's turning into a ghost town for live music. Given the sizr of the city, it's weird how forgotten it is.  ---------- Post added 25-09-2017 at 12:13 ----------  Big Noel Gallagher Arena Tour announced. Yet again, no Sheffield date.  Sun 22 April 2018 Brighton, Brighton Centre Tue 24 April 2018 Glasgow, The SSE Hydro Wed 25 April 2018 Aberdeen, BHGE Arena Fri 27 April 2018 London, The SSE Arena Wembley Mon 30 April 2018 Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena Tue 1 May 2018 Birmingham, Birmingham Arena Thu 3 May 2018 Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena Fri 4 May 2018 Manchester, Manchester Arena Sun 6 May 2018 Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena Mon 7 May 2018 Leeds, First Direct Arena Wed 9 May 2018 Belfast, The SSE Arena Thu 10 May 2018 Dublin, 3Arena  Why has the city become somewhere to avoid for touring bands? Seriously? I know people so "no it hasn't" etc, but a look at the amount of bands playing in the city now compared to 10 years ago puts that argument to bed. I'm sick of travelling to Leeds/Manchester/Nottingham all the time, so now just don't really go to concerts, which is really sad. It's now a place to skip and I'm intrigued as to why. It has a big student population, it's a big city- what has gone wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
