Nick Cave

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Hydro?

Ahm oot.

[Avalon_Fields]

I've only seen Nick Cave at Glastonbury, love the band, but do they put on the type of show that will work in an arena? I'll probably see them in Manchester but I usually avoid the Arena these days. (For example, saw The Black Keys there, absolutely love their music, bored by the show, no real projection to a large audience)

Yeah they will easily be able to pull it off in an arena, there's no worries on that front. I just think skeleton tree would be better suited to a more intimate venue. All arenas are just so soulless, that album deserves better.

Any mentions of the support or is it too early for all that?

Seriously? 

Am disappointed it's at the MEN or whoever it is that sponsors it these days but it'll still be better than not going at all. 

Seen him a few times in way more intimate venues, so gonna be diminishing returns in an enormodome - particularly midweek, with a late night cross-country commute home.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I guess I'm not such a big fan that I need to see a certain song live.  I'll catch him next time around when his popularity's dipped a bit and he's in the Usher Hall or summat.

Ah Nick. Midweek gigs quite a while away, o2 on a Saturday night is doable I guess. Will have to monitor, have a week to mull it over...

Arenas are turd, shame Bournemouth or something isn't Sat night instead. Selfishly begs the question why no Cardiff though.

Saturday night in London. Not bad Nick!

I will HATE seeing this at the O2 but at least I can use my work phone to get priority presale.

Im thinking of getting a seat in the lower tier by the stage if I can - should've had my hernia repair op WELL before then but am thinking it's not like the place will be bouncing - and after all the performance is what we really want to see isn't it? Plus I'll be going alone as usual so it's easier to be a Larry in the seats

That's good to know mate if I decide to go for standing. Gotta love the Dice app.

Email now out. No mention of a presale.

There will be an o2 priority presale if you or anyone you know is on o2

[mungo57]

Sorry mate I assumed you were from London. I assume everyone is from London

Cheers for that! Definitely lessens the blow of the price a little - for some reason £45 seems far more reasonable to me than £50  

What's it like using the app to buy tickets? As frantic as it is buying em normally or is it usually a breeze?

Never had to rush on Dice. Saves you money, tho it does mean you have to queue at the venue to pick up the physical ticket. 

I'm hoping these wont be an instant sell out anyway?

It'll get more frantic the more people join.  But nah it's a piece of piss, especially if you can hook it up with Apple Pay. You may never look back.

Soz, I'm out. £50 is a massive ask, and I'm not paying it for an arena. I'll be on the lookout for cheapo tickets on the night, but I can't stump up the kind of cash they want now.

My friend saw them recently in a small venue in Ballarat (small town in Victoria, Australia) and a massive venue in Melbourne and said they were much better at the arena, it was the best gig he had ever been to...

[TomViolence]

I gave Sigur Ros a miss because of the price but I'm tempted to try for this as I haven't seen him for almost 4 years now.

I've set up a reminder of DICE and I'll mull over it for the next week!

[TomViolence]

Any word on support? Cat Power would certainly make it an easier decision for me.

Most Londoners do. ;-) The worst is northerners that live down there and just presume everyone wants to. 

I've heard 'so when you moving here' so many times from northern expats when introduced to them. 

Yeah but when are you moving to the civilised world?

I know what you mean I know a few of them northern people.

I'm a Londoner that loves London although from Watford (basically London) originally and wants to get out - I hate London nowadays - too Fucking expensive too many arseholes! Main thing I'd miss is access to gigs

[Hutchmaster]

I've set a reminder on DICE for the Manchester show. No idea if I'll even be living in England come September but would kick myself if I didn't get a ticket, much like I am for not getting an Interpol ticket for the same reason..

I can recommend Manchester.  A lot like London but smaller, easier and cheaper. Only been here since September & I'm in love with it. 

Still can't find a job, mind

Beat me to it . Manchester is London without the  world's highest density of c**ts, and an excellent music scene to boot.

I know loads who've moved to Manchester over the last few months for work - I work in a building with 6 restaurants and they've all moved when their chains have opened a new one in Manchester. I've heard good things - bit far north for my other half though - her dad lives SW London and she doesn't want to be too far from him. I should be able to find work in facilities and she works in childcare so jobs would t be a problem. Just need to convince her!
