Unless the search function has dramatically failed me and I'm quite wrong, we don't appear to have a strand dedicated to James Murphy and company.

 

So, ergo. Presales have begun for Brixton. Pricing looks to be split between Thursday/Sunday and Friday/Saturday. Seats started at £61.60 inclusive of fees for the former.

 

That is a strategy I've not seen before - pricing by day for a residency. I know some theatres do it, but fascinating all the same.

A heads up for anyone going, they started about 8:45 despite not giving set times in advance, queue to get in was worse than normal going back to the high street, other than that all good

Same here, got Pulp/Charli XCX the weekend before and Maiden on Sat 21st so trying to space them out a bit. Going with 6 mates - will be epic.

I had to sell my tickets for Brixton last time around. I actually don't think I've paid that much more here, which is a relief - though I will have to shift a spare at some point. My first choice turned me down, which was a surprise.

I got struck down with COVID and had to relinquish my ticket to a mate on that run 😭 so glad I'm getting another chance to see them at Brixton

Got tickets for the second Thursday. Probably the act top of my 'want to see' list who are still active, so really happy to be ticking them off. Couldn't make APE or Forwards last year but great to be catching them in a smaller venue

Got the first Sunday. I'm an old man these days, love an early show. I'd initially thought about the Friday and had booked a hotel in Brixton, but can cancel that. A 9pm finish means I can get the last train home to deepest darkest Kent.

 

£62 quid. Still too pricey by half, but not quite the nolubeturnaroundpullyourpantsdownandgetahardf**king I expected.

Depends which lager they're selling, I guess.

 

Haven't been to Brixton since Judas Priest in... 2015? 2016?

We went late last year for the first time in well over a decade (Maybe Pulp 2011, or the Pogues, also around that time). Last October/November we saw Overmono and Barry Can't Swim there within a couple of weeks of each other  - Huge queues to get in and the line way back round the building and up the road. Was a pretty sh*t experience. I said at the time that it would have to be a special event to get me back there, and, on that basis, I deliberately didn't get tickets for Beirut this year cos it was there, but goddamit, just when I thought I was out,  LCD pulled me back in...

Seems plenty reasonable. My abiding memory - also sat upstairs - was that it was one of the worst-mixed gigs I've seen in my life. Was so happy to discover it wasn't a Priest thing last year in Leeds, where they were excellent.

Aye, it is not a venue by choice. But it's seats - winner! - and it's LCD Soundsystem.

 

If I wasn't already down for Beyonce the night after, I don't think I would have bitten however. It just happens to have worked out this time around.

Getting into Brixton has been a sh*t-show since reopening. You have to get there early.

      Will that work for arenas with seats? People will have their tickets on their phones and needs to find their seat.

      Having lived here for 2 and a half years now my take is that security, safety and organisation are just not a priority in Spain. It's not even exclusive to festivals. It's a part of everything.   Simple example. I'm Irish and in Ireland if you assemble a construction site you have to adhere to a lot of regulations about cordoning off the site so nobody can enter and get injured. Here, you're walking down the foot path and suddenly without any warning you're in a construction site. If not, you'll suddenly find yourself directed onto the road to get around the construction.   Life is more laid back here in general. Pros and cons.
