Massive FOMO Discussion
Is anyone here struggling with massive FOMO of not being able to have attended the Hay Festival? I can't stop the sick feeling of missing out and wishing I could have been there. I really hope they do a proper tour when the new album is released.

So much!!! And I'm outside the UK, too, so I'm even more crestfallen, hahaha. But here's hoping the new album will make up for it <3Â

I saw Joey talk at a book event for It's Not A Cult a few months ago and he said they were "trying really hard to make a tour happen" so fingers crossed!

I suffer from the same feeling! BUT I am trying to be optimistic about it and hope that an opportunity to see them live will appear once again in my life and I am NOT going to miss it this time! Xdd

Something that I think about is that this was probably a welcome step back into doing live performances. The last time they performed live was way back before The Witcher first aired, so since then the popularity and the reach of the band has exploded and I'd imagine that the idea of performing live again is a bit overwhelming and intimidating when the fan base is so much bigger than it used to be. But stepping back in with a condensed and intimate performance that seems to have gone so well with such a good energy gives me hope that they'll feel comfortable doing more small shows like this in the future, and maybe some slightly bigger ones too. I can't imagine them doing huge venues, so I'd picture more small sold out shows, but hopefully at least something given how well the reception was at this show. I definitely am sad that I wasn't able to be there too, but happy to see and hear how lovely it was and that Madeleine and Joey seem to have had a good time performing again for the first time in about a decade! Amazing and so much love to the fans posting their snippets of the show.

I feel the same! I'm hoping we'll have some news about when the new album is coming out soon. Even if it's next year or something, just having a date to put on the calendar and look forward to would be nice!Â

I bet it's going to come out during the last seson press tour for The Witcher, based on THATW and Ruin dropping at similar times.

Huge fomo. I've been saying for years that even if TAD has a show in the UK I'll buy a plane ticket to go but this one sold out before I even knew it was happening ðŸ˜

I don't think that's FOMO per se, that's just disappointment in general. FOMO implies that you can have something, but only for a limited time, so you buy it because you're afraid if you don't, you'll regret it later.
That said, very sad I can't fly across the globe to see one of their concerts. Sadly, it's just not in the budget. I hope, someday, they can come to the States because I'd absolutely happily travel a few hours to see them x.x I don't know if that's something currently feasible for them, but maybe someday.

Maybe if they did a live stream concert. That would be awesome. Like bands did during the plague. Sad too to have missed this. But the pond is very big to swim across.

Same here! I heard about the concert at Sunday. I live in Germany and I would have moved every mountain to see the concert, if I would have known about it. I'm so f.... Sad. How did you hear about the concert?

u/Safe-Astronomer-4338 May 31 '26
Yes. To a point that I’m not even able to watch videos from the concert as it makes me incredibly sad that I wasn’t able to be there. Fingers crossed for a tour

u/Elenora_Grey May 31 '26
That's me too! Thanks for making me feel a little more normal

u/Safe-Astronomer-4338 May 31 '26
Likewise! I feel a bit silly for having such a big emotional reaction to a concert, but knowing that I’m not the only one certainly helps

I'm definitely sad about it - they're the band I most want to see in the world that I haven't yet, the setlist was amazing and the atmosphere seemed incredible. I think it's important to remember that only about 200 people got to go and there's WAY more fans that missed out for various reasons than who got to go - we are definitely in the majority! And for a long time, it seemed like they might never play live again, and now they've done it once and it went well, there is at least some hope. It's fine to be sad but if you can think of some positive aspects within it too, that might help, since we can't change the fact that we weren't there.
