Dave Grohl broken leg

[ItsBadForYa]

Dave Grohl was raised in north Virginia, about 10 miles from Washington DC.  Washington DC was the closest city and he played in bands based in DC.  Didn't go to Seattle, Washington till his early 20s.  Kurt was the only one actually from Washington state.

 

This is in no way a defense of NME's shocking journalism but, on this occasion, calling Washington DC a homecoming gig, for Dave Grohl at least, is about as correct as they get.

 

That part, at least, is right, but they've demonstrated their laziness in saying Heart also played a homecoming gig, when they really do have nothing to do with DC.

NME skim reading Wikipedia and not proof reading?! No way!!

according to my mate (I can't find anything online to verify and I don't listen to the radio) apparently Foos are doing 2 shows at MK bowl on 5th and 6th September with those who had tix for Wembley being given priority presale.

 

I shan't be going, MK Bowl is shit and its a right pain to get home from if you miss trains and can't afford hotels having just booked up Victorious Festival the proceding weekend.

I'm pleased about the rescheduling, MK Bowl isn't an ideal venue, but I guess their options were limited, nice about the pre-sale having already had tickets to.

If that is the case they're leaving it pretty late to announce.

just had an email about it from their mailing list.

 

Shame I can't make them but no loss, seen Foos tons of times

[brettredmayne]

So am I right in thinking you paid fees and postage for wembley and you only get the ticket price back.

You then need to pay fees and postage for rescheduled dates?

[strummer77]

If anyone has a priority code, and can't use it for whatever reason, I'd be extremely grateful... Desperate to finally catch them after they pulled out of Glastonbury!

[mungo57]

I'll fire mine your way when I get sent it strummer

[cornish hick]

And Murrayfield 8th Sept

[strummer77]

I'll fire mine your way when I get sent it strummer

 

That would be fantastic if you could mate. Much appreciated.

I would also love it if anyone could help me out with a presale code, me and the mother (I'm only 19) were gutted not to see them at glasto, so if anyone has one spare, it would be most appreciated!

[strummer77]

How do you know he can't mate 

 

Bit of a slur there

 

Oh shhh haha.

 

Anyway, glad they've rescheduled relatively quickly!

[sheffieldlady]

I'm pleased it's been rescheduled for this year - wasn't sure if it would be or not! Bit disappointed about the lack of Royal Blood as support but nevermind.

Pretty sure they refunded all the booking fees on the cancelled dates?

Which gig are you after BN?

I thought I was already signed up to the mailing list but it seems not so if there are any other presale codes going then I'd very much appreciate one too! *end of begging post*

 

(Milton Keynes btw!)

unlike bloody Fleetwood Mac I lost £18.95 and no amount of complaining helped me get them back booo

 

Back on topic oooh chance to see Foos again - I'm there!!

Whilst it is a pre-sale, it's for people who had tickets to the cancelled gigs. Sadly, I am using my code otherwise I would happily give it to someone else.

[mungo57]

according to Foos facebook I get emailed my code tomorrow - strummer asked first so I will hit him straight up, if he already has one I will offer it up again.

glad to see it get used than go to waste, also means less likelihood of scummer touts getting in there!

Yep, I believe so. I didn't go for Wembley tickets as saw them at their Islington gig and was also booked up that weekend anyway, but was hoping to sort tickets for this one before the scrum!

[sheffieldlady]

Hopefully someone else has a code for you
