Jamie T has taken aim at the excesses of stadium rock, insisting that smaller shows are better.

Speaking to Time Out, the singer songwriter explains "I’ve never heard anyone come back from a stadium show and go; “It was life-changing”. Generally you only hear that the sound was shit, and the mechanical egg didn’t work and Bono got stuck in it. I love small shows – you can see the whites of their eyes."
