I think you have to be signed up to their (Ticketmaster's) email list with The National specifically selected as one of your favourite artists 

Thanks - didn’t realise that! Assuming it’s too late for todays sale now but I’ve done it just in case!

Got my ticket via Cherry Tree this morning, 45 all in is not bad at all in my eyes. Much rather go to the Manchester gig than Victoria Park to see them again, though the APE line up on that day does slap.

I'm starved of live National since Covid kicked in so I've booked APE and Manchester! Taking my daughter to APE as she's never seen them live and out with my wife for the Manchester gig! 🙂

See if you can get a lift back up with them.

How cool would that be 🙂

Pamplona for the "warmup" show of the tour. Never been there and probably never would otherwise so I'm hyped for this! All seated theatre gig but I'm on the front row., should be something different anyway. Hoping for a long set, some deep cuts and new tunes.

No Glasgow show again but the festival they're playing in Edinburgh is stacked 😳 Might have to grab a day ticket for the Sunday. Decent price as well.

Got an email regarding the event saying theres more support to be an announced which is pretty good

First show in 900 days last night in Pamplona. 

What a set list this is! Few new ones there which (hopefully) means the new album is imminent.

That is a dream set list!

Seeing them at Primavera on Friday and I’ll be over the moon if the setlist is even close to resembling this. Was anticipating them still going heavy on the I Am Easy to Find stuff but thankfully it looks like they’ve dropped a lot of that in favour of a more ‘greatest hits’ type set. Looking forward to it.

I'd take Hey Rosey over Graceless personally but otherwise will be over the moon if we get something like this on Friday 😆. 

Should be a great set and really looking forward to checking out a new festival.

Got tickets for Manchester in August, and wow - that setlist couldn’t be any better could it!! Straight into it too with a run of some of my favourite songs. If it’s anything like that (which I assume it will be) then I’ll be over the moon. 

[fightoffyour]

That was a good gig last night 😀 I sat (well everyone stood by Bloodbuzz) on the first row

Yeah saw that, great set list. I hope we don’t get a new album before the end of the summer as I’d rather see them play something like this whereas they have a habit of going very new album heavy after they release one (which is of course fine I’d just rather have a mix, saying that I’d also rather they play way more from Alligator but I know that’s never gonna happen these days)

Love Hey Rosey too (even named my daughter after the song, albeit with slightly different spelling) but Graceless slaps, if we’re ditching anything from this set it’d be Day I Die!

Yeah I’d love to hear Geese Of Beverly Road, Daughters Of The Soho Riots of Lit Up, they’ve evaded me live so far.

Nice! Hey Rosey was definitely my standout from I am Easy to Find. 

That's fair, I just find Graceless always falls flat live. Maybe this time will be different 🙂. 

Either way, we're gonna have a blast!

It’s a fine set list but I’m not sure why they’re still banging out the same encore from the last 8 years.

It’s a classic! Hard to see past Mr November and Vanderlyle anyway. Terrible love could be moved for something else. Fake Empire makes a great opening encore song as well.

It is you're right. It's the Vanderlyle sing along I think they could maybe change, I've seen them quite a few times now and its never quite felt like the moment they're aiming for.

I go absolutely mad for the Vanderlysle singalong! But it's better at their gigs than festivals for obvious reasons. 

I'd be absolutely gutted if they dropped it though. 

[FloorFiller]

Mr November should be their standard  finishing song. Agree that the Vanderlyle singalong can sometimes fall flat, especially when they try and do it at festivals, but Mr November always goes off.

Matt didn’t go walkabouts on Saturday, don’t remember seeing that for a while…maybe 6 music in Manchester?

They had the long mic lead ready, he just didn’t fancy it.
