‘Some bands are really taking the mick’.

Paul Heaton, former frontman of The Housemartins, is launching a UK arena tour with all tickets priced at £35 plus fees. Despite the low prices, Heaton assures the tour will be profitable and hopes it will prompt the music industry to reconsider high ticket costs. Heaton criticises some established bands for overcharging fans and aims to keep prices affordable amid the cost of living crisis.
