Looks like I will be eating tins of beans to survive in a few months time.. I need to go to this

I'm not looking forward to the desperate phone call to home begging for money, but I can't miss this, especially the Manchester date being two days after Radiohead..

I can't see Belfast selling out quick though. The Stone Roses are playing the same date in Belfast so the very generic (and I'm being extremely generic here) "indie" scene would already be split and Belfast isn't exactly a Manchester in terms of music tastes.

Looking at their tour dates they have Isle of Wight on 10/6, Belfast on 13/6 and Dublin on 14/6, hoping they add a Glasgow show in between Isle of Wight and Belfast.

That would be ideal.

What chance a London date? 

The iow booker has said hes trying to get headliners to not do london shows around the fest. 

[the wonderwhy]

Don't think I've ever been this excited about a show announcement

[TheBurns]

Dublin date is €69.50 before fees I assume, pricey but I'll probably end up getting a tickets and then moan about being broke. 

[CHRLY]

With this being a MIF show, can people with Greater Manchester postcodes get those cheap tickets?

Nah was just a bjork thing i think.

Also it wasn't people in manchester, it was people in Manchester on less than 15k(?) a year

[arcade fireman]

I wonder if AF coordinated it so it wasn't the same night as Radiohead. They could easily have done the two nights before...

[Simpo]

Only mainland UK gig, 8000 tickets? a] Hope I get one! b] Should be a passionate crowd.

Emails with the link will be sent out on Wednesday, ready for Thursday. Max two tickets for each unique link.

 

Looking at tour dates, big gap around Glastonbury time, shame I can't see them playing. Maybe it's a mid tour break, with the youngster being in tow, they fancy just attending.

 

Ooh, actually, I can see Win Butler turning up to DJ.

If they're both 9am then yes. 

I can't really afford either but gonna break the bank for one. Gonna have to be Arcade Fire - much higher chance of being able to pick up a face value spare for Cave nearer the time.

Just had a look and it said I had to pay £55 for membership!

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Yeah definitely, I'm in the position where I don't feel I can take a risk on not getting a Cave ticket on Friday having not seen him before. 

Still trying to find someone with an O2 phone to try for priority tickets.. Do they just get a link like this Manc AF one?

Should just be a link to sign up to the mailing list by putting in your email.

I'm pretty sure for O2 you have to have an account which is linked to your mobile number 

[home to you]

I'm out . Manager said I couldn't get the time off so close to Glasto/Open'er.

Enjoy

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

I can't get the Friday off which is a shame... I work 15 mins walk from Castlefield, which is a bonus so if  I miss out on a ticket, I might chance it outside

[Amy Lawn]

Castlefield fucking bowel more like! Amarite?

Shit venue, no money, obviously I'm going to be there though.

[Lubic]

Definitely going to this one, even if it is right after Glastonbury and Radiohead. Not repeating the mistake of holding out for a more substantial tour, like last time.

Something like Edinburgh Castle again would be good, would keep The Hydro free for the eventual arena tour presuming they do one this time round. Not really expecting anything but we can hope.
