The official Oasis Twitter account reposted Liam's and Bonehead's replies to Noel's Twitter post, and now there's speculation among fans of a 2027 tour announcement. (Though, sorry everyone, I don't think Bonehead's Bank Holiday is a setlist hint. ☹️)
Harry's album is 40 minutes long. Most shows start at 8pm. 1)His set has to be at least 90 min long. What's he going to do with the other 50 minutes?? 2)Will there be an opener & do you have ideas on who? I think it'll be a band, not a soloist, probably different on each continent, & someone he wants to give a break to & the genres will be unique for each opener 3)Do you think he'll play any festivals pre-tour? 4)If he plays a 1D song, which one will it be? [BTW, Sending this ask to a few folks]
A 40-min album, with 1-2 min breaks between songs, translates to about a 60-min concert.
I’m sure Harry will engage the audience with some tour-related, venue-specific anecdotes/ banter. Remember he’s heard performers in a lot of these venues. He might even play a few tributes to them, cover songs. Can you imagine Harry singing Harry Nilsson’s “Everybody’s Talkin’”?
I bet the opening acts will be well-known local or regional bands. It would make sense for a small tour like this one to avoid the expense of traveling with another band (travel arrangements, insurance, equipment, and entourage all take up space and money). It would also give huge exposure to those acts, as you said. There might be guest appearances with friends of Harry’s, especially in Nashville, NY, and LA, the way Augustana played at OTRA Detroit in 2015.
I don’t think Harry will play festivals. He doesn’t seem to have the time. After Dunkirk, he will have to start tightening up rehearsals and travel arrangements to tour about 7-8 weeks later. The tour has a pretty tight schedule; it makes me exhausted to even look at it. He could surprise us, though. He’s been good at that lately.
I’m 95% sure he won’t play any 1D songs, although my secret desire is to hear him play Once in a Lifetime and Fireproof as acoustic, live songs. Bonus for Walking in the Wind. He knows the huge majority of his audience will be One Direction fans, and it would mean a lot to them to hear a 1D song. But his rebranding seems to focus on singer-songwriter Harry, and his personal tastes and influences, which is much more classic rock and less pop.
Harry is eclectic enough to sing a variety of cover songs, including country songs, Dylan, Doors, Queen. I would die to hear him sing “Somebody to Love,” no? Same with Lucinda Williams’ song “Blue.” It’s a gorgeous, heartbreaking song that has a very HS1 aesthetic. And how great would it be if he sang Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box”? His band would love playing that!
The list is endless. He will sing a few covers, for sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if they include some less popular, indie songs. I think Harry is always searching out obscure indie music. I’d love to see his digital music library for just 5 minutes.
Maybe we should start a list of songs on our Harry-covers wishlist!
P.s. I will be checking sporadically during tour for reports. I wasn't lucky in getting a tour ticket.
Handling the tour speculation well.
already trying to find out who's on tour this summer and would musically make sense with pentatonix
i'd love to find out it was a mini Sing-Off reunion with Nick Lachey and Shawn Stockman, but then it would be PTX opening for NKOTBSB2M (that's NKOTB, BSB, and B2M) and that would be so many people.
