Joe Elliott - May 2023 Interview Quotes

Joe Elliott

"After our warm-up at the Leadmill to raise awareness for little clubs, our first proper gig is at Bramall Lane which is always a big deal for us."

"I get the excitement about the play-offs from a neutral's point of view because you get this big game at Wembley, but we lost in the semi-finals last year and I'm glad we don't have to go through all of that again."

"It also makes our Bramall Lane gig that much easier because we don't have to deal with having a play-off game this weekend. Instead of worrying about who might be at home first, they can set up properly for the gig now."

"We had to move it once because of the play-offs and it wouldn't have been an issue this time, but it's nice not to have to worry about it at all."
