dentalplan Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'd rather sit at a Sigur Ros gig, especially one in a theatre. Saving my money for other acts I've not seen recently but I do like the sound of these gigs and hopefully they add a few dates on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade fireman Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sigur Ros are one of the few bands I'd happily sit for. No real need to stand - plus sitting up on the balcony of the Apollo would be pretty perfect I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were, of course, incredible. I don't doubt that they were! (except Kate Nash). The Apollo has been very good to me, now that I think of it. Off the top of my head I've seen there; Funeral For A Friend, LCD Soundsystem + Hot Chip, The Smashing Pumpkins, Flaming Lips, The Cribs, Sufjan Stevens, Massive Attack + Young Fathers, and Paul Simon. It's a nice venue inside, and if you have the O2 app then the drink prices aren't too bad for a big venue. I've had a few beefs with security being dicks though.

arcade fireman Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I remember Radiohead at the Apollo in 2003. My first time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowthen2k6 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I usually love the Apollo, but saw Sigur Ros at Jodrell bank a few years back, hard to beat that really, and especially sat down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomViolence Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I was planning on going to one of the London dates but the prices have forced me to reconsider If I hadn't seen them a couple of times last year then I might have been able to justify going.

FuzzyDunlop Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Seen a lot at the Apollo... Green Day, Noel Gallagher, Yes, Chemical Brothers, Arcade Fire, The Pixies & The Offspring to name a few. It has had a bit of a makeover recently. I went to see Vic & Bob there just before Xmas. Was my first time there in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw them standing a seat would have probably improved the experience. It's a long time to stand stock still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Got tickets for the Sunday was planning to do the Saturday but still in line in the queue for that as we speak so I imagine if i did get through the seats would be far shitter than what I got (row M in the rear stalls).

FloorFiller Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Managed to get through on the Saturday and I see there's a £28.75 option which there wasn't when I got through for the Sunday (just £38.75 and £46.25 - got the former). Did they sell out before I got through or were they never an option for the Sunday (which would be weird)? edit: never mind, they've popped up for the Sunday now. Annoying, but I think my seats are pretty decent so can't complain. Edited February 1, 2017 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cammie81 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Stalls sold out for Glasgow, anyone think they'll be more on sale for main sale? Nevermind, took rear circle. Probably terrible seats but at least slightly cheaper. Edited February 1, 2017 by cammie81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't you rather sit down for a band like Sigur Ros? because in the words of that scotch tit: FREEEDOMMMMM. Standing you have the freedom to find yourself a good spot, it's easier to go to the bar, go for a piss (and not have other people going to the bar, going for a piss and disturbing you). Plus you dont know who you might end up sat next to. Might be something ghastly like a talker/someone with BO/a vaccines fan etc. the question is, why WOULD you rather sit down?
