Lineup 2014

[the wonderwhy]

Since when is seeing Peace considered ace?

shut up

[Com Truise]

I've been calling Peace w*nk for the best part of a year and now they've grown on me

[DomDom1984]

Peace don't really move me one way or the other. They're alright I suppose. The new stuff hasn't really changed my opinion on them either.

[The Placid Casual]

Not too keen on their material, but they're an ace live act

[Gucci Piggy]

Gonna go see Palma Violets and Swim Deep and Spector #ACE

[Gucci Piggy]

At least you'll all know when to get me a birthday present

[Yellow_Fellow]

Neg rep?

It's what my dreams are made of

[TheSilence]

I've got some going spare if you want some?

Also as we haven't had a R+L related post in a while, I found out earlier that Reeps One is playing this year if anyone likes beatboxers and knows who that is.

[mrtourette]

New Peace single is pretty good, although I hope they're chucking a load of money at The Charlatans for that bassline.

Gave Cage The Elephant a proper listen the first time in years before, they're great, really looking forward to seeing them.

[dentalplan]

Jane's Addiction are playing Nothing's Shocking in full at O2 Academy Brixton and Manchester Apollo... on 20th and 21st August.

EDIT: this isn't me suggesting they'll be added, more that a weirdly perfectly set up opportunity has been missed.

Sweet. Cheers for the info.

EDIT: Tickets are £46.20!!?! However much I would love to go, at that price I just can't afford it.

I really wanted to see Violent Femmes at Troxy but their tickets cost about as much

Bloody Generation X'ers with their adulthood and disposable income

Considering several years ago I got to see NIN, JA and Mew for just over half that per gig that seems ridiculous.

Yeah, I just can't justify that price + travel to London. I'm really gutted though, I love Violent Femmes

[Babyquack]

You can see why, as they hardly tour the UK but on top of that the travel and it being in festival season, it is ridiculous. It's a shame not many bands give a crap about the cost of tickets anymore and the ones that did (e.g. Pearl Jam to name just one) clearly don't anymore.

[dentalplan]

It's almost like it's not up to them.

[Gucci Piggy]

But I'm sure they're not in a hurry to reduce their fee to allow cheaper tickets.

[Babyquack]

It's almost like it's not up to them.

the sarcastic comments are coming full force today aren't they. Is it not up to them just a little? Sure there's expenses but there must be a wide gap of profit in it for them that is solely up to them how much they make it be surely?

I actually don't know but I just assumed that the pricing of tickets and festivals was due to escalating costs and margins rather than greedier bands.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah the ticket prices aren't really down to them. They can refuse to play (Pearl Jam or someone started doing that at some point?) but they're not going to do that now as the money is all in live shows.

There are some bands who try and get booking fees & stuff down, I think Frank Turner did that for his last tour.

Not at all, gig prices are mostly used to cover the basic expenses like, hell, producing the tickets, and hiring staff to man the gig

[the wonderwhy]

And actually producing music
