Was thinking earlier that a Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer day could do pretty well at somewhere like BST. 

APE would be a strong possibility.

More to the point:

OH MY GOD what I wouldn't give (awaits Courtney bashing)

Also just seen all the Joy Division stuff! Fucking hell! Where was this gig?

New Jersey. It was the band's 30th birthday gig. And there'll be no Courtney bashing!

Bodies is a big one for me, I hope that works its way into the normal tour setlist. I imagine Chino's vocals lend very well to that song as well.

You took the words right out of my mouth re Bodies, always one of my favourite Pumpkins songs. You got tickets for the October gigs? Are they sold out now? Couldn't find much except VIP from just searching (not that I'm about to buy, was just hoping for the possibility of knockdown tickets later on).

Sadly not. It's out of my range at the moment, but it's looking better value with every setlist. Three hours of classic Pumpkins material is worth £20-odd more than your average arena touring band ain't it?

I'm hoping that this arena show was a feeler for demand and the tour will come back to Europe next year. Apart from general standing behind the Gold Circle (ughh), the tickets still seem widely available so hopefully that means next tour they play slightly smaller venues with no Gold Circle! ? Guessing some tickets might come down a bit as they're still not clearing at the moment.

Yeah, same, I just can't quite stretch to it at the moment. Like you I'd hope for a return next year. I'm still crazily going to hope for Glastonbury, purely on the basis that they played in 2013 and I didn't expect them then. But I appreciate it's a long shot and there are other options likely more appealing to them. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

On that, though, could they headline Pyramid? Would they? If Metallica and Arcade Fire can...?

Maybe. William seems to love the place more than your average American rocker does, and it's about the same gap as LCD's 2011 and 2016 gigs via reunion. It's really tough to tell what they'll get when it comes to festivals next year...

I could definitely call this one though.  They didn't headline with the original lineup twenty years ago, while they were headlining Reading and things like that, so I can't see them headlining the Pyramid ever. I think this reunion would have had to really have captured the public's imagination, which it hasn't really at all.

Both very fair points!

Oh no. Is this going to be like when I saw she was on Drag Race and I was really excited and then she just seemed heavily medicated and spaced out?

 She was visibly reading the chorus to Bullet With Butterfly Wings. I wouldn't anticipate her knowing every word of the song but I think even people who have barely heard the band ever know that chorus.

Hmm, I might hold off watching the footage and just enjoy the version in my mind.

It's hardly the most complex passage of text to remember!

So my bank account just took a £106 hit . No regrets.

Not a bad set list, Eye in particular would be good to hear live. I'd love to hear Snail, so underplayed and in my top 5 favourites of theirs. Wish they played more from Adore, Tear would be good. I'd love to hear some rarities like Aeroplane, Atom Bomb, etc too. There's only so many times you can hear "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" over and over again.

Preach. Appels and Oranjes for me.

[eastynh]

Are they going to be about next year? Planning on doin Mad Cool again and think they would go down a treat there.

[dentalplan]

They've released a new song "Silvery Sometime (Ghosts)" which will probably be on YouTube, Spotify, etc. soon. Pretty dull, makes Solara seem exciting (although I've been enjoying that more and more on repeat listens). Lauren Laverne said there's an album coming out in November produced by Rick Rubin. No hopes for it but roll on more tour dates...

Forgot they had their own thread - just posted this in new music.

Yeah new song is a bit of a plodder but really hope it means a bigger tour, although a new album can only mean more new shit being thrown in to the mix which is unfortunate. Maybe Billy will keep the new stuff to a minimum what with it being a continuation of the 'reformation'. Not excited for the new album at all though.

If they carry on doing three hours, I'll let them off if they want to shuffle four new songs in there to try and shift some new records from the merch stall.
