Got tickets this morning! 2016 shaping up nicely

[Mouseboy11]

my misses left the house this morning commanding me to get tickets for the Bristol shows.

 

1. tickets this morning are for a pre-sale where you had to register before last night. She didn't register.

 

2. there are no Bristol shows.

 

 

(I'm very surprised there's no Bristol shows ... I'm guessing they've been booked for some opening shows for Bristol's new arena venue , tho that won't open till 2018).

I was disappointed there's no Bristol date as well to be honest, reckon they'll add one?

Surely they're not holding them back as they want to do arena dates in 3 years time?

I doubt it. It was my first thought tho, but at that point I was thinking it opened sooner (I googled to get the opening date as I was making my post).

Got tickets for Manchester just now. Surprising as I saw LOTS of hype for this on Facebook. Bit miffed as I put my email in last night as instructed, on the agreement they'd email me with presale information. No email. Don't really matter though because I'm going to see two of my favourite bands, right around the time of my birthday.

[Wooderson]

Hope the rumours of Tricky being back with them are true. Last indoor tour was a bit underwhelming.

[Guest]

They're obviously fussy about who they want to email

 

I'll stand at the barrier and shout "OY! Thanks for the invite, 3D, you prick!".

Portsmouth and Leicester looks about the only places with standing tickets still left, the second night they had pencilled in on their website for Glasgow has now been released, they had a third for Brixton on the website too but nothing as of yet

Edit:

Third night at Brixton now announced

Loads of people moaning about missing out on tickets on Facebook. That's what you get for not heeding my status about the pre-sale.

[stuartbert two hats]

I'd like Damon to guest on a track in his Gorillaz persona, so we could have 3D and 2D on the same song.

[dan8k]

Was meant to buy tickets for Portsmouth 9am yesterday but forgot, so luckily they were still available last night

[russycarps]

Anyone going to london tonight, or seen them already? 

I havent even got round to listening to the new EP yet so I'm going in to this gig with virgin ears. 

It's in brixton so I'll swing by the bowie shrine first. 

Lots of decent food places in brixton too these days, since the yuppies gentrified it.

Happy days!

I saw them in Leicester a few weeks ago. Absolutely mega set. The new material sounds great too! It's surprising they aren't really in the running (or so it seems) for Glastonbury as their current set would be incredibly appropriate for the festival.

I saw them in Brighton on monday and they were brilliant, as were Young Fathers.

They'd only really fit Other headliners and they did that two years ago so its highly unlikely they'll be back 

[TheBurns]

I saw them in Dublin a couple of weeks ago and they were fantastic, despite idiotic bad reviews calling them churlish for not playing unfinished symphony. 

I missed young fathers since I was working and only got the ticket last minute but heard they were great, came back on for a song and were good

I was there too and both were excellent. I understand from some friends who had guest passes that Robert Del Naja's mum was in the crowd which probably explains why he was in such a good mood.

 

Probably the best time I have seen them, even better than when they recently headlined the Other stage and that was a highlight for me.

Only issue I had was, much as I like her, Martina Topley-Bird is no Liz Fraser on Teardrop!

[russycarps]

glad to hear all these positive reports! 

I dont care if they've dropped unfinished sympathy but I really hope they play karmacoma for me.....bugger all chance no doubt.

Sold my ticket to a mate a while back as I have work commitments .

Might go up on Friday in the hope of finding a reasonably priced ticket. Have a good one Russ!

[OBface]

Caught them a couple of weeks ago. Not a crowd pleasing set (heard a few moans) but one of the best things I've seen in a while. Sorry Russy, wouldn't say your chances of Karmacoma are that great. 

[zero000]

Saw the gig in Birmingham on the weekend and I really enjoyed it. It was quite heavy going at times, musically and visually - lots of hard hitting images of the refugee crisis.

We got Karamacoma in Manchester the other night. It was OK, but definitely the least good out of all the songs they played that weren't newies, there were some mic probablems during the song, and they looked pretty visibly pissed off about it. Pretty great show all in all, the new material sounds fantastic, the visuals are as amazing as always, the classics were more than welcome. Young Fathers stole the show in the encore. I should really get listening to that new EP.

I'm with you on this OB, I heard a fair few moans at tunes missing from the set in Glasgow, I had a great time, thoroughly enjoyable 

[Staff_Sav]

Saw them at Portsmouth Guildhall. Had a sensory overload with the music, the screens, and the epiliptic lighting. I thought I had actually gone blind at one point. Great set though.

And i agree with other posters that Young Fathers were quite good. I especially enjoyed the track they came on for at the end with Massive Attack

[ace56blaa]

seeing them on friday, gonna be incredible no doubt!

[jonodillieono]

They were brilliant in Manchester last week. I'd of loved a bit less Heligoland for a Blue Lines tune or two though.

Daddy G forgot the words to Karmacoma and I think 3D got a pissed off and they left stage a bit prematurely before the encore
