Cardiff is pretty South West. 100% in for it.

Nope, I'm just hoping we get a hometown warm up gig or two around Bristol/Exeter.

I would have expected a Bristol date. I wonder if they'll announce once at a later date, maybe like a small 1 day event that Idles headline.

I was banking on a Bristol date, not prepared to travel further than that tbh

Yeeesss Barrowland 😄

Surprised I haven't had this emailed to me by them. And I don't havebabpromobcode. Hmm.

They’ll be in the South West a week later...

Hope so anyway as I can’t make either London night - going to see England at the Euros on the Friday, then GnR in Tottenham on the Saturday.

Bit torn on this. That's got to be a near cert for Glastonbury. I made the mistake of seeing Tame Impala in London, then Glastonbury, within a week last year. It did definitely take something away from the latter. Would be gutted if I didn't get a ticket, then they had a bad clash at Glastonbury.

O2 Presale Wednesday at 10am for those who are keen.

I had to scurry and read my calendar after reading this. Fuck it, going to try for the Friday date. It'd mean Idles, Rammstein, My Chemical Romance back-to-back-to-back, with the Euros on Tuesday and off to Glastonbury on Wednesday. Yes please.

If tried that I’m pretty sure there’d be a divorce waiting for me when I got back on the Monday.

My bigger risk would be a complete inability to cope with that many late nights on the bounce. So very very sleepy just thinking about it.

There's been rumblings of such a thing for a while now, not sure when it'll be though with everything going on.

To be honest I had two bottles of beer whilst sat on the sofa watching the football last night and I feel tired this morning...

I honestly don't know how I'm going to manage when gigs start again.

Two gigs in Dublin is good news but I can't see either going ahead.

They’ll go ahead eventually unless live music just dies

[kingcrawler]

Looks like tickets are £28.50 before fees for Glasgow which is pretty reasonable. I think I might give this tour a miss, I’ve not been too into the new songs I’ve heard and I’ll hopefully just catch them at Primavera or Glastonbury. Saying that, it’s hard to turn down a Saturday night Barrowlands gig.

[FakeEmpire]

It's understandable that there's no Bristol date or nearby as they've outgrown those sized venues now. This is why Bristol desperately needs an arena or at least something bigger than the Academy/FKA Colston Hall. Acts reach a certain size, having moved up the various small to mid-sized venues in the city, and then have nowhere else to play.

Anyway, Cardiff's not far and it's pretty intimate as far as arenas go. Had some decent nights there last year with Pixies, Liam Gallagher & Marina.

A draw for Key Worker tickets too, nice touch.

Yeah thanks! Going to be far too late now but sent it off anyway

[vintagelaureate]

I'll be trying for Manchester and possibly London.

The Victoria Warehouse is a bit of a nightmare venue for getting home midweek though!
