I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: September 21, 2025] Tom Odell / Jade Bird

I had never heard of Tom Odell. The only reason this show was on my radar is because Jade Bird was opening.  How could Jade Bird, who gets massive airplay and love in Philly be opening for someone I’ve never heard of?

Of course, I heard  the name Tom Odell and though of Tom Bodett who is not the same in any way, but it still made me laugh.

Evidently he is very highly regarded and has been around since 2012. Just off my radar I guess.  But his whole tour was ultimately cancelled:

“Due to an unforeseen change in my schedule and the associated logistics, sadly we need to reschedule the upcoming May dates in the US. This has also affected some of the September US shows.

I assume this is why Jade Bird scheduled some headline shows in the area, since her tour was cancelled.
