Presale for a tour?

Yeah, says if you pre-order you get 'first access to future UK live dates'

I also got in just as Everything Now was started (were we all in the same queue?) Arrived on the Science Musuem side and walked in to an incredible side of the stage view. Stayed for a bit to enjoy EN and Rebellion before deciding we needed a drink and toilet stop, which meant going up, across the back then back down to the other side of the stage. Decided to stay over there after that, view was still good but didn't sound as loud.

Ah I read on AFT about a show in London this week but it seemed too short notice to be real.

I hope the rumour about the early release of the album this week also is true.

Signed up for that, nice one.

Cheers for the heads up. 30 pairs of tickets, slim chance but gotta be in it to win it!

It says doors are at 6, do we think that's when you'd have to be there by? I might struggle to get up there in time and wouldn't want to waste a pair of tickets in the slim chance that I luck out.

EDIT: basically found the answer to my question in the T&Cs

1. Applications will be geographically weighted - 75% of successful applications will be selected from Greater London postcodes and 25% from the rest of the UK.
2. Admission is on a first-come-first-served basis. As not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people. We can’t guarantee that you’ll get in, and also please be aware that on some BBC shows audience members start queuing well before the doors open.

Shit forgot about the postcode weighting. Should have used my mums address and not my rubbish Essex postcode.

So is Neon Bible a lit closer then? I see they've kept it for Luxembourg tonight. Seems an odd choice.

It got a strange response - reaction all show had been great (best show I've been to in Lux in 3 years) but then after NB Win sort of slunk off through the crowd singing Wake Up and the house lights went up, and it was a bit muted as people realized that was that.

Brilliant show though, even without Laika

I'd applied but having seen that now I don't fancy travelling from Liverpool and spending money on a train and hotel only not to get in if I'm successful.

BBC tickets always have that caveat. I doubt special events like this one oversell like the standard shows - especially when they state there are 30 pairs of tickets to win.

Sadly didn't get a ticket

Same  Odds always stacked, especially without a london PC. Fingers crossed they announce this tour soonish!

[Hugh Jass]

No joy for me either. Ah well, the memory of last week shall suffice.

[Muppetmark]

half tempted to turn up at maida vale and try and see if someone has a spare

[MoilyX]

Currently on Radio 1 Live Lounge, doing Everything Now and then a cover of Lorde's Green Light.

[Dan R]

Sounding great as usual! Also looks like they'll be airing Electric Blue this afternoon at about 5pm.

[tjfish]

They sounded epic - Would deffo like to see at Glasto again (I wasn't aware of them when I saw them headline)

[Hugh Jass]

I'm holding off any new material until I hear the album in full.

[nikkic]

Anyone here win tickets for Maida Vale? 

I didn't unfortunately!

[edwardjc14]

Green Light cover is pretty decent!

[the wonderwhy]

Haven't listened but for those who want to...

 

[Mash011]

New track's alright, not as immediate as the other but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Does feel a tad repetitive but it'll probs work really nice on the album.

[AmyShambles]

I liked it. Better than Signs of Life which I'm not keen on at all. Just can't wait for the album to be released now.

[Guy Incognito]

really want to like that new track but probably my least favourite out of all of them. Hate to be that guy but sadly looks like this album is gonna really disappoint for me, dont like any of the new ones.
