When they played Manchester last year the Albert Hall was half empty. In fact I think they closed off the upper seating, which I've never known happen before. 

This might have been, in part, because it was the night after Ariana Grande though. 

Fair enough, the smaller venues make sense in that case - I just assumed they were bigger and the album seem to fare well, critically at least.

Has it? I don't think it was posted ahead of time by accident.

Anyway, I predict that it'll be be Castlefield Bowl gigs preceding Sounds of the City. Hopefully with some cooler names because there are some bands in Europe around that time that I wanna see who don't have UK/northern England gigs but I'm not counting on it. Chic could go either way.

This still hasn't been announced - wondering if there is a reason for that?

Yes! Superb choice of venue. Hopefully being a Wednesday night may make it not absolutely rammed.

So £110 if you want floor tickets essentially

I shouldn't be too gutted, I saw him do the Apollo in 2016, centre of about the 6th row back, and I don't think it'll ever get any better than that. But I've been listening to him constantly since before I could even talk, so it feels a bit wrong that I won't be seeing him on the last tour.

I'd be wanting him to be singing 'You can call me Dave' for that price.

Yeah I misinterpreted 'full lineup' as in it was an actual event. Most displeasing as I'm not arsed about Chic & Nile one bit.

Lmao how strange. I saw him at FN6 and he didn't even mention it as far as I can recall. Too busy listing off all the hits he wrote, I suppose.

I saw that and was half tempted as I never got round to seeing them back in the day. Then I heard their new song... nah...

Tbf most of their set usually consists of 'back in the day' stuff and they're still good fun. Inessential obviously but you'd have a good time.

Sums it up perfectly, will have a good time. I'm gonna see them in Krakow, 'cause there's not many gigs here at all - so anything with a passing interest is worth going to.

Tame Impala headlining Citadel. 

Feels like there’s a hell of a lot of great day festival line ups in London this year.

See you there @eastynh

Idles quietly dropped this earlier, seems to be selling very fast already though.

I will probably go as I like both albums (Don't understand the grief Republic gets).

Peter Hook slags Republic off in his book and you get the impression he had little to do with making it. It irks a little that here he is touring it after what he said about it.

I am hoping New Order turn up at some point this year. They have a gig in Turin on May 5th so there are signs that there is life in them.
