I could actually be tempted to go see him, he's way better live than he has any right to be. Rolo Tomassi are touring; Was coming here to post this. Cannot wait for the new record and Pupil Slicer are batshit mental so I am well in for Nottingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Frank Turner has announced the support acts for his next tour. Snuff, Truckstop Honeymoon and Pet Needs isn't a bad batch of acts to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t really consider myself a fan but considering his popularity, longevity and the prices of tickets just generally having gone up a little post-pandemic across the board, that seems pretty reasonable to me.

Andre91 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Turnstile are playing some more UK shows on top of the already sold out Forum date. I’m going to be jumping on at 10am tomorrow to get tickets for the Rock City date 🙂 I also noticed earlier that Helmet are playing a few shows over here next May so that’ll be a good time.

The price seems about standard for an act his size in that venue nowadays. What really blows my mind is Alestorm, the Scottish pirate metal band, are playing Brixton the same venue as Frank with about the same ticket price tix. That’s a bigger venue than where I last saw Skindred, Monster Magnet, Bokassa, Stray Away From The Path, The Pretty Reckless and a lot actually great metal bands who aren’t a joke.

What's more likely is that I simply don't realise how big he is these days. As soon as we saw the ticket prices it put myself, my brother and my Dad off going. It would probably be the most expensive gig I'd bought a ticket for in Leeds not at the arena for example (and I don't think Frank is an arena act). It probably doesn't help that I only really like pre-2012 Frank plus one or two tracks off each album after so I guess it comes down to being too much for me.

Big Frank fan, love him, been following him since 2007 and seen him in excess of 50 times, including 3 Lost Evenings but I agree. Time to spend that money on 3 up and coming bands that possibly need more support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidy Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Think lost evenings worked out at 33 quid a night if you bought the weekend ticket ,so 37.50 doesn't seem too bad to be honest always puts everything in to each show his enthusiasm for every gig is undeniable and the amount time he spent supporting smaller venues during lockdown was admirable . Its the hotels that take the piss nowadays soon as gig announced prices triple for a room . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Londoner so I've never really had to do stuff like book hotels for gigs as they come to me anyway but the last few years with Milton Keynes (of all fucking places!) have started getting big only UK show and when I had planned to see Rage Against The Machine in France last year I've had to start doing it more and it's a right pain. Kudos to the folk who put up with that just to see live music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to do that to after nights out in Brighton and a few other gigs. We use to get cans and drink outside the train station waiting for the first train or if I'm by myself I'd find the photo booth at the station to have a nap for an hour and then wake up in time for the first train.

I don't know about the others, but for the Brighton Dome as a venue it's not a price that jumps out as OTT. With the whole thing of the sector having taken a kicking, I felt ok stumping up the cash tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
