The National

[jparx]

New tune is great. Stoked to see them at Mad Cool.

Hoping Sharon Van Etten joins for the song they've done together. Safe to assume that song will be great whenever it's released.

Been looking into getting tickets for the gig they're doing over here in Dalhalla, place looks ridiculous. Would mean passing up on the Glasgow gig but tbh it looks like this would be worth it 

That place looks beautiful! Wish I had more money so could go to gigs in more exciting places like that tbh

Dalhalla, Sweden.  The area was formed by a meteor I think

[D-Low]

Still shocked they found the time to pen a new album, doesn't seem like they've come off touring since Sleep Well Beast's campaign started. Hyped for this though! There's no doubting their work ethic.

I think it may be an old quarry. They may need some barriers as I can see the audience toppling off the terraces like lemmings.

New song slaps doesn't it, the Castlefield Bowl gig is gonna be special. Jealous of anyone with tickets to an evening with Berninger and the boys.

Yeah gave it another spin this morning and proper pleased with it. What a band?! Looking forward to seeing the set lists in the run up to Manchester.

[The Clearest Blue]

Do you reckon they will tour the new album in the UK this year? Had no previous with this band before last year when I saw them at APE and just fell in love. Hoping to catch them again as soon as possible. What venues do they normally play on a UK tour?

[Jamesthedrake]

After hearing the new song thought I'd give Manchester a punt but it's sold out! D'oh! Hadn't taken the plunge earlier as I had Elbow tickets for the night before 

Is Twickets still the best bet for tickets?

Think so, yep. EU tour scheduled in for Autumn.

Imagine they'll be doing arenas then.

Is it Castlefield Bowl tickets you're after? If so I have 2 spares. 

Much to my annoyance we can't go now, happy to sell them at face value obviously.

Does seem like they've been on tour constantly for 2 years now. 

I really thought they'd take a break this year, so the new album and world tour is a big shock. 

They played 4 sold out nights at Hammersmith Apollo last time so as @Hugh Jass says it's probably going to be arenas for them next time.

And they did arenas before that. Saw them at the O2 in 2015 I think.

Fucking O2 would be dog shit. Horrible place. 

Hopefully they do Wembley instead. 

Might actually do a trip elsewhere come to think of it.

Would take O2 over Wembley any day of the week and I live a lot closer to Wembley.

Agree though, it's annoying when bands get to arena level. The Ally Pally and Apollo were much better venues for them. 

[Yokel Again]

Anything but an arena! Those Apollo gigs were amazing. Hope they do something similar (unlikely).

Seems like that's what the RFH gig is for

Maybe they'd go back to Ally Pally and do a couple of nights there?
