Ellie Goulding - Brightest Blue

He/Him
This tour has completely snook up on me. I just assumed it would be rescheduled or at least the Dublin date cancelled because our restrictions haven’t fully lifted. Clubs haven’t even opened here so it completely took me by surprise that I’m going to a concert next Tuesday.
I also didn’t realise Dublin is the first tour date so the setlist is going to be a surprise. I can see her using a lot of EG.0 tracks rather than Brightest Blue album tracks though.
Our restrictions here say that concerts have to be fully seated and at 60% capacity but I have standing tickets so I’ve no idea what will happen on the night.

Yes I'm really looking forward to seeing her but - the setlist is a bit odd! Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you hoped.
Wasn't planning to attend but after Brightest Blue's commercial performance I was kinda expecting her to keep the new tracks to a minimum, but it's a really solid album and I'm glad to see it's getting a full live outing.
Especially when the three singles from the album are nowhere to be found on the Setlist
That set list will do me fine. Looking forward to the london date.
Not checked the setlist but seeing her in Manchester tonight. Excited now. Anyone else from PJ here?
OK that was pretty fab. I expected an album heavy set anyway and I love a lot of it. A few of the obvious crowd pleasers too. Yep, happy.

Good performance in Birmingham, but I agree with the setlist messiness 100%. I’m not quite sure how Powerful ever became a live staple, but it’s so weird thematically to go from How Deep Is Too Deep to it (same applied to Bleach to New Love).
Obviously the main appeal for seeing her live for this is to experience the latest album songs and she admitted it’s likely the only time she’d ever play them on tour, which is a bit sad really. So many of her non-singles continue to be retired from public performances and that’s a real shame.
Only You, Anything Could Happen, Power, Bleach and Woman were highlights for me. L Devine was also a great supporting act, too.

Flux would have been a highlight were it not for the absolute twats next to me who talked loudly all the way through it.

River will be officially free of its Amazon streaming and buying exclusivity of the song itself tomorrow. It only took two years.
It seems this’ll be the first album to officially get it released on CD/vinyl, too: https://store.hmv.com/store/music/cd/now-that-s-what-i-call-christmas-2021

I was just explaining to my Joni Stan boyfriend how Ellie scammed a UK #1 with a River cover via Alexa trickery the other day.
He was ready to throw down.

The people ~in the know~ seem to be suggesting her new material is upbeat & that it’s very very good.
