In response to weak ticket sales, they are beginning to switch to smaller venues at least in Boston (they were at the TD Garden) and Philadelphia (they were at the Wells Fargo Center). https://www.roxymusic.co.uk/tour/
I saw Roxy Music in 1980 at The Manifesto tour in Detroit and had already loved them since 1976. I have seen Bryan 4 times since. I can’t wait for the Toronto date. A lifelong fan. If only Brian Eno would join them. I’m bringing my son. The music lives on through generations. Now l drive and stay in a fancy hotel. Back then we hopped the border on weekends to see the bands in Detroit and drank beers from a party store in the parking lots..lol
I bet this will be sad.
Really looking forward to this. I go to see Bryan every time he plays Edinburgh/Glasgow. Last saw Roxy Music outside in what I remember as the ExCel Arena car park!
Obviously Bryan’s voice isn’t what is was, he is 76. Can’t imagine anyone would think it would be. Do people go and see Macca or Jagger thinking they’ll sound the same as they did on their favourite Beatles or Stones album?
Gees. I saw the ticket prices for London and thought WOW – SOD THAT. Extravagant and extortionate.
I’ll never get to see them again I don’t think, so ticket bought for Manchester. One more band off the bucket list!
Saw Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera do the Roxyrama show a few years ago, tickets were about £40. Lovely intimate venue, and literally spine tingling performances.
£750 for front row at the O2 in London. Each. Plus a goodie bag of course containing
A DELUXE Roxy Music Limited edition (only available in touring VIP packages)
special merchandise collection designed and sourced by Roxy Music
A collectible (numbered) NFT containing the tour poster
An item personally autographed by Roxy Music
A commemorative laminate and lanyard
What no tote bag?
Admittedly it was 2013, but I saw the Who do Quadrophenia at the O2, had a front row ticket which cost about £100. The sound was absolutely awful, all echoey and boomy.
I finally got to see Roxy live in 2001. Regrettably the parts of the experience that have stayed with me most are the ‘drained swimming baths’ ropey sound quality that night, and the couple sitting in front of me who spent most of the gig shouting at other people ‘SIT DOWN YOU SELFISH C****!’
It’s good to get out, isn’t it?
In New York City, they’re playing Madison Square Garden which is ugly, impersonal and massive. I’d much prefer Radio City Music Hall; a beautiful venue befitting of Roxy and where at least you can score a front row mezzanine seat to avoid the sea of cellphone screens glaring back at you. Don’t even get me started on ticket prices. John Oliver has a scathing report on the evils of Ticketmaster here: https://youtu.be/-_Y7uqqEFnY
Snap. Glasgow too. Roll on.
Pre sale started today at 9 am if you’ve got the pass word of ROXY50 .
Really surprised at the extent of the US tour . In their pomp they struggled to break there . Would have thought a more extensive UK and Europe tour was where their fan base lies ?
Oh you have no idea the fan base Ferry has in Canada and the US.
Very big venues in the States.On the last tour 10 years ago they barely half sold venues a lot smaller than these.
This reminds me of when ELO booked an arena tour of the US in 2001 and ended canceling the whole thing because of poor ticket sales. Let’s hope not.
I hope now they start touring they will release more deluxe editions. It’s about time for the second.
Going!!!!
On the last tour, initially I’d not bought tickets. At the last minute I looked at ebay, when you used to be able to buy tickets, and found two in the front row at Newcastle; which I ended up getting at less than face value. My friends at the back of the arena weren’t so impressed with my luck.
There’s no Newcastle date this time around, but today I got my tickets for Maximo Park’s autumn tour, which’ll be good fun.
For at least a decade now, I wait till the “day of” to purchase tickets. No event is truly ever sold out and nine times out of ten, phenomenal seats are released during those final hours, many at a discount.
Saw Roxy Music a long time ago at Leicester DeMontfort Hall, supported by The Tourists. Ferry had a shark skin suit on, it was at the time when you could leave your seat and rush to the front which we did. Some way through the set someone in the crowd took Ferrys watch off his wrist as he reached down to the audience, I think it had an expandable strap. When this happened Ferry stopped the performance and demanded his watch back, which he got (eventually). Ferry was so pissed off he stopped the set early.
All very well, but, the voice of Mr Ferry is not what it once was & when I saw him live a few years back, it was the backing singers carrying him through.
Still though, hope it goes well for them & surely more dates will be added!! Unless, it’ll be like the Stones where there’s only a dozen or so gigs per tour because of their ages.
I sadly agree. Watching the Rock Hall of Fame videos on YouTube, Bryan’s voice is shot. While I’d love to see them again, this may not be the experience I want it to be. While ticket prices in the US appear to be reasonable, I can’t believe they are playing arenas. This seems unreasonably optimistic. Maybe I am wrong. We will see.
I’m sure the band will still be well received as was Genesis with a diminished Phil Collins, if for nothing more than a nostalgic experience for long time fans. I’m not sure about them booking such huge venues. There are lots of older bands in this situation . Kiss, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Judas Priest… As their singers go – so goes the band.
The thing with the latest Genesis tour is that Phil Collins’ voice sounded great. He just couldn’t move. Bryan can move, he just can’t approximate anything resembling his previous vocals. Paul McCartney has the same problem which doesn’t stop him from selling out stadiums so maybe people don’t care. However, Roxy Music is not Paul McCartney. I just looked on Ticketmaster and the number of unsold tickets in each North American arena is staggering. I would estimate that overall at least two thirds of the tickets are unsold. I have a bad feeling about this…
Splendid. Albeit less so if one lives in Ireland.
..or the bit between London & Manchester…or East or West…I could go on.
I feel your pain, but I think I win – it’s a different island and the ferry isn’t cheap (pun not intended, but probably should have been)!
Indeed, we would both miss the last bus home, but yours takes a longer route!
…or in Mainland Europe :(
UNCUT magazine reports that “Meanwhile, Ferry has debuted his first new recordings to be released since 2018. The Love Letters 4-track digital EP premiers with a cover of Ketty Lester’s “Love Letters”, with three more tracks to follow in April and May 2022.” Digital only? Sigh…
The other three digital tracks will be covers of Bacharach & David’s I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself, Elvin Bishop’s Fooled Around And Fell In Love and a pop standard written in the 1930s: The Very Thought Of You.
