New album sounds meatier live, and All Out is a beast There is a date within walking distance of where I live. I'm pretty sure I'll end up going but am just enjoying to have some self control in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 If you can get to the Dead Pretties/Pink Kink tour I very highly recommend it, went to the Manchester show last night and was well impressed. Seen Dead Pretties before so knew what I was gonna get (catchy punk kinda music done very well) but the support Pink Kink blew me away, 4 girls and a guy ranging between fun pop and weird psych stuff. Great night even if I was on my bill anyway. https://www.seetickets.com/tour/dead-pretties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Not a 'new' announcement (although I missed it first time round) but Wolf Alice still have tickets left for some venues for November. Definitely a band on the rise after a few months away. https://www.seetickets.com/tour/wolf-alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow took that long to sell out? I know they were never the biggest band but I thought the hype for their comeback would be a little more enthusiastic than that. Guess because they never actually broke up their comeback doesn’t have quite the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) er, 5k in a few days is pretty good going for a band that everyone pretty much forgot existed, with no new material out, and presumably most people from outside London haven't bothered buying tickets for as they'll no doubt be touring elsewhere if/when they do release something. i didn't think it would sell out for a few months TBH.

dentalplan Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah without any new songs I think a lot of old fans maybe won’t have even realised a new show went on sale. Four days seems good going to me and I expect that once they do have new material to show off, they’ll be moving onto bigger dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 If anyone wants to go to see Godspeed You Black Emperor, Omar Souleyman, Liars, The Field and a whole load of other people in Manchester on october 28th, I'll sell you my ticket for £20 (it's on dice but think I can transfer it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasperella Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Soooo I know it's old news that Placebo are playing a few gigs in October....but has anyone seen them recently? Are they worth 40quid nowadays? I saw them at Reading in 2004 and they were totally amazing, but they (and I) were all a lot younger then... Maybe there in lies the fun, I really cant decide. As always, any thoughts welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dates are part of their 'Greatest Hits' tour so it's (mostly) all killer, no filler and so worth it in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, any thoughts welcome I'm a big fan so biased, but I think the 20 years tour has been really good. They are playing around 24-25 songs, a decent amount from all of their albums, and it's still sounding great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Phoenix shows in March; Manchester, Dublin and Glasgow. Won’t rush for tickets to that with Glasto still fresh in the mind but would be interested in seeing their stage setup done again properly.

kingcrawler Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Pretty much my thoughts on that Phoenix tour too. Their Glastonbury set was so much fun and it'd be nice to see the stage setup actually working, though thinking about it the barras stage seems quite small for all of it, but apart from Love Like A Sunset they did everything I wanted to hear so I'm not desperate to go again.

the wonderwhy Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Their Glasto set is exactly why I'm gonna get a ticket on Friday. One of the best gigs I've seen on the farm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Worthless news unless you live stateside, but Lorde has just announced a US tour with Run The Jewels doing some of the support dates. What a gig that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
