So, premieres of new productions, exhibitions, performances. The programme is generally brilliant and very carefully curated as it's a biennial. For Bjork in 2015, at the same venue, that simply meant the European debut of the Vulnicura stuff live, with a string section. The same won't obviously be true of the AF show but it doesn't make a lot sense for them to be working with MIF if they weren't planning on something unique to that show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think we'll get at least one rarity played. On smaller stops of their 2014 tour, they brought out songs that didn't get many other outings. Headlights, Laika, Ocean Of Noise, new version of Empty Room, Suburban War etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindley Stallion Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just managed to get 2 tickets via Ticket Master at 12:10, so it seems there are a few left if you're willing to keep refreshing occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seetickets/GigsAndTours are one and the same thing. So long as you've your confirmation email all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
