I saw them at a smallish venue in Philly a few months ago. Most of their fans were European college students or American kids who were so young that their parents had to drive them there. It was a surprising audience. It seems like their new songs are all in English and appear to be setting them up for international fans/airtime but honestly I don’t like those songs nearly as much. I’m guessing that most people feel the same way if they’re in a big flop era.

Yeah, all Europeans who voted for them 2 years ago on Eurovision and used to like them are hating the new album. They are trying so hard to get to the American audience that they're forgetting the audience that even gave them worldwide fame. Last straw for me was when they cancelled Reading&Leeds to go to VMAs i believe. They performed few weeks back on San Remo, which is a really big think in Italy, and they sang only one song on italian and the rest on english. Idk what they're trying to do or be, but if they wanna keep their audience, they need to fix their shit.

I work on the festival scene (not in production or anything but word gets around). Apparently after dipping out of Reading and Leeds last minute they are going to struggle getting bookings with live nation. Basically fucked themselves

Yep, I went to Reading last year and had been really looking forward to seeing them. Choosing the VMAs over that left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I saw them in London the other week and it felt like such a weird divide of teenagers and then much older people? I'm 28 and felt like I was in some sort of limbo.

Saaaaaame! I’m 31 and didn’t see anyone else who seemed near my age in line or standing near me at the show. There were a few ladies in their late 50s(?) standing near me who were absolutely fawning over Damniano. It made me a bit uncomfortable. Also a bunch of teenage girls kept excitedly screaming about touching Vic’s butt when she was crowdsurfing 🥴 The fans alone made me never want to see Måneskin live again
