Really hope I get to see them at the Gorge once before they hang it up
This is one of the longest stretches I've gone without going to the Gorge. I think the last shows I saw there was Soundgarden/QoTSA in 2011, and Tom Petty in 2014. I could use a reason to go to the Gorge
Really wish some of these festivals would scale back a bit. Could be so much better if they dropped a day or even a stage or two. They seem to be SO watered down these days.

For London, If its at the O2 get anywhere near a Jubilee Tube Station stop that is with your journey time and budget limits. Stratford has hotels and great links to other lines.
If its at Hyde Park I stayed in a hotel in Paddington previously, a 15 minute walk to the North West.
On a side note, I am curious of the economics of Ed Sheeran selling multiple nights in football stadiums and then shifts to headlining some festivals. The paycheck has to have one less 0, no?
I find out who the new electronic and country people are every time I see who is headlining these festivals and I have never heard the name.

In 2022 we stayed at an AirBNB at the far end of the park from the concert site. That was a long walk after being at the festival. Had we done a better job of investigating where the concert site was in the park and how big Hyde Park actually is, we would have found a place that had a shorter walk for sure.

Gotta think there's significantly less overhead w/ playing festivals as opposed to headlining a stadium tour though. Think of the labor alone just to set up the stage and tear it down at every stop.
You don't really need to worry about walking distance for London or Berlin just get something close to a tube/u bhan station on the same line as the venue
I’ve been assuming that the Seattle shows would be in Climate Pledge. But maybe there is enough demand for a two night stand at Lumen? The shows at T-Mobile were completely sold out, but that tour was also limited in terms of dates.
A show at the Gorge on a late summer weekend evening with a couple of openers would be a great day. But that’s not happening this tour.

10 Club seats are really limited in Europe. It used to be GA only.
I won seat tickets in Barcelona 2018 and im number 730159.
That being said for london (and although wife is not that tall 1.65m) we are gonna try for GA but we are not going for the front because in 2010 in hyde park in PJ it was so chaotic that we had to go to the back because it was getting very violent (we couldnt even feel out feet touching the floor) and when we were getting to the back she got hit with a plastic bottle in the head
I was near the front at the 2 Hyde park shows last year. I thought crowd was pretty tame...get the impression the crowds have got more chill since those 2010 Hyde park shows. There's always the drunk rowdy people sometimes, but I wouldn't be worried about the front being chaotic. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.
I'm about 1.63m and I'll be trying to get GA tickets for the O2 shows...I noticed at Hyde Park the stage seemed raised, which meant I could see better, compared to seeing chili peppers at NOS Alive and it being hard to see (wasn't near the front tho).
Does anyone know if it's similar for the O2? I've been there before but a long time ago so can't remember.
London crowds are some of the most hectic after Italy and south america. The front 10 rows Infront of ed don't bother if you want any kind of calm or mikes side because of pick showers and subsequent scrap for them. Stones side is best if you want peace
I think the problem with BST the gold circle diffuses the crowds alot, they're a fairly recent addition, where they used to be first come first serve but now they're all paid for. Night 1 front of GA (because my mate didn't have 10c) was dead really, we went 10c night 2 and the atmosphere was alot better. I think the set has a massive impact too, night 1 BST set was alot slower overall Vs night 2.
I saw them at the O2 night 2 and the crowd was a fairly standard O2 crowd(dead for the most part), I was like 1/4 of the way back at standing. I do remember Ed asking people to step back though so there must have been some ruckus.
I remember the start of the MK bowl show in 2014 going absolutely mad. Then it slowed down as everyone settled in for the marathon set.
I was at HP 2, and based on the setlists was glad I did that rather than the first night.
I stayed in Greenwich for the 2018 O2 show. Would do that again.
Any particular hotel recommendations?
When I go to gigs at the O2 I normally stay around Canning town, there's a Travelodge, Premier Inn very close to DLR station and is only two stops from venue.

I just checked my bookings and I've already booked the Premier Inn at Canning Town! I'd totally forgotten 🙃
