LCD Soundsystem

[NorthernSoul52]

I do wonder how many will actually not read the fine-print and turn up about seven for the Sunday shows.

 

I for one am looking forward to being out at nine and potentially finding myself a nice pint of bitter somewhere in Clapham.

Booked the first Sunday going to drive down and back again from Manchester on the day. The early finish makes it possible. Should be fun. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Were I not meant to be down the day after, I might have considered trains. Last one to West Yorkshire isn't until half ten, I think, so should have been ample time.

Think I'll have to miss these gigs, regrettably. Too much going on in the summer already

 

I'll forever cherish the Pyramid slot from last year, though. Life affirming

 

Me too, If it was Manchester I'd be there. :(

[NorthernSoul52]

If it was nearly any other weekend in the summer, don't think I would. Have fallen lucky.

 

Now, to figure out which cover song they'll randomly adapt for the tour, after Jump Into the Fire. My bet is Slave to the Rhythm.

That might be an option, park in Leeds get the train down and back. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, not a bad shout. Best get it booked sharpish though, prices go through the bloody roof around here.

[dotdash79]

Just checked an google is saying I would have a chance of the 9:30 train but that would be risking it too much

[NorthernSoul52]

Nah, that would be a very fast move from Brixton to King's Cross. (I assume King's Cross?).

 

What's the last train?

22:35, that’s plenty and also allows a stop to stock up on a McDonalds and some snacks from the shop. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Oh, beautiful!

 

Aye, I'd be on that. In fact, if the hotel price is silly in London, I could be tempted to come back up and then go back down again on the Monday.

 

But even as I type that, I realise it sounds preposterous. Get meself a Premier Inn, I'll be reet.

[dotdash79]

Premier inns in London are normally cheap on a Sunday. Think I stayed at the Brixton on for £40 a couple of years ago. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, they're not too bad. They're decently priced the night after on the Monday for Beyonce - trying to get it booked but I'm waiting on the rest of my companions to give me the go-ahead. Too busy faffing about sadly, with, y'know, life.

Try the hubs the ones near Shoreditch and brick lane are always cheap and it’s not too far from Liverpool Street 

[NorthernSoul52]

Hub Shoreditch is exactly where I'm looking, actually! Great links. Booked that for BLACKPINK at Wembley in August.

[dotdash79]

We normally stay on brick lane. But they are both close to each other.

 

excellent choice. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Can't go too wrong there. Need to get all my summer stints ironed out and booked away.

[Semprini]

I got a twin room at the Brixton Premier Inn for Friday 13th for £99. It's non-refundable but I'll definitely use it as planning a double header with Charli XCX at Lido the following day.

 

Haven't booked LCD tickets yet as reckon I'll pick them up just beforehand, hopefully a bit cheaper. Know weekends will be more in demand but can't see them selling out all the dates. It's also the case that people's plans change so tickets always come up.

[NorthernSoul52]

Nicely done.

 

Fun how this thread has turned into a hotel chain discussion.

How long are their own non-festival shows? Generally two hours or so? Toss in forty minutes of support and we'll be laughing.

Going back to this, I'm sure I've read that they don't typically have a support act? Or just someone DJing. Consensus seems to be they play for about 2 hours at a headline (non-fest) show as you say

Annoyingly if I had realised the Sunday gigs were early curfews I absolutely would have gone for that over Saturdays. I'm always moaning that 11pm curfews are too late 😂

Pretty sure it was the awesome Mermaid Chunky as support for the last lot of Brixton gigs.

Too late!!!

 

Way too early. No venue should shut that early. 1am or later. As for these weird matinée shows, absolutely nonsense. Going out before 10pm is also weird

I am usually asleep well before 10!

I’m going to do the first 3 shows. Saw them at the Barrowlands last year and was on the barrier. An absolute all timer gig for me! But I did miss them play Daft Punk there and in Bristol so I’m hoping by doing 3 in a row I’ll defo see it!
