Very likely, as is another date or two at Barrowlands

Am I the only person who doesn't actually mind AP?

I really like it. Though living 15 mins from it may influence my decision somewhat!

I live in South East London so as far away as possible but still love it a venue.

Helps that I've seen some great gigs in there down the years.

When are these actually on sale then? Says Friday on Ticketmaster but Wednesday on the band's website.

I think it's a good venue inside but it's just in such a ball ache of a location and is difficult to get away from on public transport.

would advise against anyone trying to get back to another part of the country on a train/coach the same night...

It's a bit inconvenient for those who live on the South Coast. It's one of the few big London Venues I've never been to but might be breaking that duck for LCD

Tommy, that's the hat-trick confirmed...

I actually can't believe that three acts I wanted to see this year - LCD, QOTSA and Wolf Alice all announced gigs within a few days of each other.

I was on about the WHP lol. Considering the ally pally as an alternative even though I live 15 mins away from the WHP.

Good stuff mate. I'm defo picking up QotSA tickets, need to convince a mate to come to LCD and hoping to pick up Freebies for WA if I can (their nearest venue to me is Southampton Guildhall which can sound like a swimming pool and I've seen them a couple of times before so not overly fussed about missing out on them this time). 

Looking like a good Autumn!

[mike86]

2 dates at the warehouse project in manchester. Will be incredible.

Went to WHP quite a bit when I lived in Manchester. Loved the Boddingtons Brewery and Store Street. Only been to the new place once but absolutely hated it.

It's back at Store Street nowadays

Is it? Good.

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Dunno why people seem to hate it so much personally. I'm not old enough to remember when it wasn't a thing (I'm 26) I've yet to have a bad nignt there yet myself. 

I wouldn't sweat it on tickets so much either always going on the Facebook event page or outside the venue for face or less. I've never paid over face value or a night there nor would I. 

[Memory Man]

bad decision to have it at store street.

why not albert hall or even the apollo. Its a fucking car park at the end of the day. unless you are there early and/or cram into the front you will probably not be happy with where you are standing.

"Dear LCD, do you want to play one of your few UK / european shows in a converted car park with crap sight lines and a sound system that is set up for DJs?"

Sure.....

They will also oversell it, by selling the capacity of both rooms 1 and 2.

Won't somebody please think of the fans?

This. I've been to some incredible warehouse project nights - Soulwax / 2manydjs on Boxing day at the Boddys brewery was absolutely brilliant. However the Victoria Warehouse was dangerously over sold at times and Store street isn't much better.  Stick em in the Apollo like last time.

The LCD/Hot Chip co-headline gig at the Apollo was fucking brilliant.

Yeah, but the one at Ally Pally was shit .....

http://admin.dev.clashmusic.com/live/ally-pally-apologise-to-lcd-soundsystem-fans

and i remain in the shit venue camp, and that's without factoring in getting back to SE London. Pish.  

 

[arcade fireman]

Yeah can't help feel LCD have picked some shit venues this time. Would have gone up to the Barrowlands (apparently that's James Murphy's favourite venue in the world) but it's midweek. WHP is good for dance stuff but although they have electronic elements LCD live are much more of a rock band. Plus I reckon it'll have some folk who would be there just because they want to be seen at WHP rather than because they're huge LCD fans.

[reflekting]

Ally Pally. God damnit, I can't really bring myself to justify the ballache 2 x this year. I've only just gotten around to the idea of dragging myself there for the Maccabees and that's due to the exceptional circumstances of never seeing them ever again.
