New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Bluesnapper]

Think it's a bit late in the day for concerts to be taking place this summer at the stadium.

Bookings would have been announced by now.

Its not too late yet as Harry Styles has announced today his tour for this summer.

Take you half an hour to get served

Even on a Monday night? I thought it would be a bit less busy.

I doubt it. They will for the next couple of years, but long term everyone will pick us because of the spectacular nature of the ground and location. The rugby league was and will continue to sell out, but they have stuck with us as it reflects better on any brand than being in a big hole puncher next to a row of closed shops and I think that will be the general trend over time.

I've worked in the live music industry for the last 25 years, what promoters care about is money. The only thing that will get acts to play our stadium over theirs is if the artist asks to, and I'm not sure Taylor Swift or Beyonce really care which football ground in Liverpool they play at, when one gets them an extra £2 million in ticket sales.

All the other football stadiums have had there summer concerts announced for a good few months now.

As I said, I think it's a bit late in the day now for us.

Not sure which major act would announce a tour or dates for the summer this late?? Maybe Oasis or they wait till 2027 before doing another tour?

Until we get some decent transportation to the stadium I think we can bank on stuff like sports events. Maybe we can bottom feeder stuff in the music industry for the plaza - stuff like this:

The RS have a bigger capacity therefore they will get the concerts, yet another reason why the stadium should have been a higher capacity

Genuine question. But is there much in it once you factor in we have a larger pitch (therefore a higher standing capacity for concerts) and they also have the stage in front of the Anfield Road stand which has a higher capacity (approx 6k more) than our north stand? Assuming we'd put the stage in front of that stand.

Only here to see if this thread makes it to 10,000 pages before midnight.

I don't know anything about the live music industry. But would an act get ticket sales only? Or would they get a % of food/ drink sales too? Or perhaps it depends on a case by case basis? What the plaza does give us is a big area for a captive audience. I don't know a huge amount about Anfield but I'm assuming it's much bigger than anything around their ground? On a nice summers day you could have a fair few thousand more people eating and drinking outside and within the stadium grounds than what Anfield might offer?

Honestly don't know, but I would presume the rs would be more. We may have a larger pitch but capacity is usually based on number and size of exits, so that may restrict how many people we would be allowed to have on the pitch.

It's a case by case basis. I don't know the terms of the deals the rs are doing, but they've markedly increased their non football income over the last few years so they're doing something right. It's a competitive marketplace and most modern stadia want other income streams especially in the off season.

Be more comfy than Anfield though in our seats

I've already said, and evidenced, in this thread when people were saying this in October (OCTOBER!) that several UK summer stadium gigs from 2025 were announced around February '25.

People just decide timeframes without a shred of research!

How come all the usual stadiums that summer concerts get held have announced months back who are performing?

Stadium of Light, Etihad, Anfield etc....
