REM head indoors

Blame it, if you like, on the rift that runs through the city, but REM have been forced to relocate their Cardiff gig from the Millennium Stadium:
Bob Gold, the band's European manager, told the BBC sales had not met expectations and it was decided it was better for the band and the audience to move into "a smaller, more intimate venue".

That 'more intimate' venue is Cardiff International Arena, so it's not like you're going to be at risk from Stipe knocking your pint over if he gets a bit jumpy.

    45 quid plus booking fee? Outrageous! Ticket sales were disappointing were they? REM must be sick of hearing the 'd' word. Maybe it's time they called it a day.

    Far better venue than the Stadium, anyway.
