I don't think it will sell out that quickly (if it does at all).

Bought. Thanks @briddj.

Do we think the Ally Pally gig will sell out tomorrow? Money is tight this month for obvious reasons, so I'd prefer to wait, but maybe that's a silly idea? It's twice the size of Brixton Academy, have they doubled in popularity since then?

I wouldn't sleep on the tickets but you're probably safe till next payday. Tickets are still on sale and probably will be for a bit.

[briddj]

Going to wait to see the football fixtures before I decide if I go... though I have a ticket.

I normally work Saturday evening and nights and therefore has resigned myself that I wouldn’t be able to see Hot Chip this year. 

So ages ago I asked my boss for favourable shifts - even though I don’t like doing this, and last night she posted the shifts..... and...... 

I CAN GO TO THE BALL ! ! ! !

*** ? ? ? ?  ? ? ? ? ***

Now doing 12:30 till dawn shift and am super chuffed and excited.  

I’ve seen them do Other, West Holts and now The Park, it’s funny how they have moved “down” the stages.

I have made my decision to watch Hot Chip. I would not enjoy myself elsewhere knowing Hot Chip were playing and I was not there.

I'd probably put The Park on a level par with West Holts.  Did you miss the John Peel set in 2007?  They've also played the Square Pie stall once apparently!

Other is the only one that hasn't been a headliner.

I'm working this year but won't know my shifts until I get there. ?

Yeah I’m 100% in the Hot Chip camp. The only thing that may scupper my plans is that my husband wants to watch Chems.

@ian the worm great news about your shifts! See you at Hot Chip and Let’s Eat Grandma ??.

So you only got to decide over 99 other stages.

As a worker that has traditionally worked Saturdays it was quite a big thing to ask move my shift - before I’d even been given them. So glad I did.

My Saturday now looks like.... 1pm - 5pm work.... Kate Tempest .... Hot Chip..... work till dawn.

Its kinda perfect. 

[Gnomicide]

No show at The Common.

 

[whitehorses]

Can shows get relegated to ‘secret’ @Gnomicide? Perhaps they thought Common would be even more rammed than normal so have to make Hot Chip a ‘secret’ 

[BigMoneyMeltz]

Probably my most looked forward to set. I think they'll steal the weekend. Can't contain my excitement. Looking at the setlist for APE and they did a cover of Sabotage by the Beastie Boys? Inject it into my veins.

Yeah it's part of the set on this tour.

Not something I've ever heard of before. I've not looked at The Temple's times on the official site, is there a gap?

[Homer]

Not sure a hot chip DJ set would be a bigger draw than, say, Seth Troxler or Fabio and Grooverider TBH.

 

there aren’t any gaps in the common line-up FYI.

Beastie Boys cover was good, but not as good as their Dancing In The Dark cover IMO.

I think it would be a much bigger draw, just because of the name and people seeing it as an opportunity to see the band they've just missed for the Killers or Chemical Bros (they won't be though really, obviously).

Agreed, that cover is special.

I asked someone close to the band (who has previously revealed 100% accurate info well ahead of announcements) about this, was told no, just the Park set. So if it's a secret, it's one they're guarding very, very closely. I strongly doubt it but you never know, I guess.

Joe Goddard is doing a midday-odd DJ set in the Stonebridge Bar isn't he? B2B with a female DJ IIRC?

[Ducky89]

There could potentially be something up at The Crows Nest. I know that Stephen at Moshi Moshi is very friendly with the Hot Chip guys?
