Bit of a wait but got your wish... Playing Earls Court 22nd March, suprised they are playing somewhere that size...

Don't think it would necessarily mean that, Florence and The Black Keys both sold out three nights at Ally Pally earlier in the year.

edit: Sorry, just realised I'm talking about the wrong venue.

Will be a good test to see how 'relevant' they are atleast, I think they are always going to have a decent core of fans but if they can sell the likes of Earls Court still they can probably look for decent festival positions.

Did they not sell out Ally Pally a few years back?

[jump]

I thought they sold out Earls Court before or at the very least played there before.

No they played Olympia, which is about the same size as Ally Pally if I recall. (7000-8000) Whereas Earls Court is more like 19000 so its considerably bigger.

They also played two nights at Ally Pally previously.

Yeah sort of just sad i have to wait so long and its a shit venue Across london for me when I have the o2 practically across the road from me (I think the o2 is only marginally bigger!)

Surprised, seems quite odd they are waiting to do this big london show...was thinking it would be 2/3 ally pally shows at the end of the UK tour/Christmas time. Much better venue really!.

Oh well should be easy to get tickets for at least! Still think they would be a sub and not headline act atm!

I can't stand the Alley Palley, horrible acoustics and a pain to get to. LEVEL THAT FUCKING HILL DOWN!
