It's the acid test for me.
I've mentioned how impressed i am so far with the "extra-curricular" activity. But music is second only to football in this city and so they have to nail it.
If we get an announcement that Paul McCartney, Gerry Cinnamon, Pink and the Weeknd are playing over a few weeks, i'll be heartbroken.
No offence to any of those like. All giants in their own right. I just want something more. Something unique.
A support act playing in the plaza before hand. A Fri-Sat festival vibe or something.

McCartney and the weekend are two of the biggest acts in the world.
Doesn’t get bigger than McCartney.
Don’t know what else you could want outside of laser beams and space shuttles to the ground.
Problem is McCartney's voice went 20 years ago and he sounds fucking awful now. He'll also need a good 48 hours to fully defrost before each performance.
If we're going to bring music concerts, at least try to attract somebody whose best years are not half a century behind them.

He could charge £200 a ticket and sell out multiple nights though.
