Here's their set.

Cheers for that

[GlastoSimon]

Wow, I was actually right about the Roundhouse then.

Hmmmmmmmm, will they do South West? Not sure London is ideal on a Monday or Tuesday at all. Desperately want to see them though. *Researches venues of similar capacity in this area*

[GlastoSimon]

Okay....

Plymouth Pavillions are occupied every night/other night throughout November, EXCEPT 18th-21st, which is free. Arcade Fire free from 16th to 27th. Similar capacity to those mentioned so far, unique exterior.

Optimism, desperation? I wouldn't be so confident of them covering this part of the country, but Blackpool Winter Gardens is a bit of an odd 'un I suppose. On the other hand, they last played this part of the world in 2005...

They're Live Nation promoted. Doesn't that make some venues more likely than others?

[Neville Street]

I'm also free those dates, so bring it on! If we don't get blown off the planet later on of course. Breezy on the Lizard tonight...storm still a few hours away apparently.

Just watched the Bridge Street thing, knew nothing about that event or it's history. And now, slightly inevitably, am listening to Bowie playing there a few years ago!!

I suspect we will be lucky to get a Bristol/Cardiff show, but you never know.

Gotta be 100% for G14 though surely?

[Neville Street]

Hall for Cornwall? Or not...

[mb23]

Very much up for this! Do we reckon the presale ticket scheme will be in action for those who preordered the album through the Arcade Fire website?

Would be incredibly lucky! Can't imagine they'll sit around doing nothing in the UK during those dates inbetween Glasgow and Blackpool though...

Slightly tempted to try and get Roundhouse tickets, and then selling them (at face value of course) if a more local date is added.

G14, not so sure. The fact that they're doing these small shows may be an advantage, as it means they might not be occupied doing some kind of super-massive world tour later in 2014.

I believe so, think the e-mail will be sent out this week.

Interesting! I reckon I'll give those London tickets a go even though it will likely be impossible. Love the Roundhouse and have only seen them in huge venues thus far.

[evilduck]

All over those Roundhouse dates. Hopefully we'll be getting the presale link through this week, that will make it a bit easier!

[Zoo Music Girl]

I ordered through Amazon so presumably presale link is a no go for me?

That's your punishment for feeding greedy tax-evaders

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah thought as much!

[mungo57]

Do we think these shows are going to be full length sets, or just similar to how they've been doing it in the states (ie new tracks with a couple oldies at the end)?

I don't want to waste my presale code on a half-gig wen I could wait and try and get tix for other shoes when they do full sets lol

[Yesiamaduck]

Heard the album, well produced but ultimately very dull.... out of all the albums I've heard that were released today (Moonface, Johnny Foreigner & Juana Molina) this one thus far appears to be the weakest of the bunch. But this is based on one listen of each band so y'know this could change.

[jeffie]

Can we combine two threads and start a fire using Arcade Fire? I'm sure they would burn well.

<runs for cover>

[russycarps]

so it's shite then? Ah well, they had a good run of albums.

[Tuna]

£40. Bloody hell.

[Zoo Music Girl]

£40. Bloody hell.

What is? The gig tickets?

[kingcrawler]

£40. Bloody hell.

It's £30 for Glasgow.

[mungo57]

Thats what I meant re: what are they gonna play? For £37.50 I would want a full gig! Although roundhouse is a great venue I will probably go anyhow work permitting

So how long have the gigs been thus far then?

[russycarps]

it'll be a full length gig, with just loads of the new album surely?

[mrtourette]

Whatever it is at the Roundhouse it's likely to be better than seeing them during their normal tour at the 02 or Wembley arena.

[dentalplan]

The most recent stateside ones were only about 12/13 songs. If it's really that pricey it has to be a bigger setlist, long songs or not.
