Arcade Fire

[FloorFiller]

been asked if i want to turn up early tomorrow and do a correographed dance?

dont think i can deal with that

ha seems they've been doing chorreographed dances at a few of these shows. weird

getting to Blackpool for like 3ish so will hopefully be at the venue in time for all the madness (i.e. the mariachi band that'll hopefully be there and the band members coming out and doing shit WHICH THEY WILL)

[formed a band]

Any idea of set times ?

I won't be in bpool til half six seven ... Really I'd like to get some pizza express or something.. Want to see some of the antics but it won't make or beak my night

Anyone else trying O2 Priority for these today? It's asking me for a fanclub password which I obviously don't have! WTF?

[DJL]

I'm trying to buy for friends and have the same problem...

[Zoo Music Girl]

I reckon they've made a fuck-up haven't they? You don't need a code for O2 Priority and I'm already logged in. Hoping someone will notice and change it.

[DJL]

They screwed up the fanclub pre-sale as well so it looks that way...

[Zoo Music Girl]

Awesome.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Well this is frustrating. I've managed to book the tickets on my mobile but it won't let me get to the payment page...

[DJL]

I went back to the priority home and then clicked a different link, arcade fire listed as one of the five most popular... Took me through to a different ticketmaster page which was fine...

[Zoo Music Girl]

It's working now! Just got mine

So now I'll definitely be seeing Arcade Fire at least once in June (and hopefully twice with a bit of luck...)

Also loving the album more with every listen so might even enjoy it more than the Roundhouse from a music point of view, although that was something pretty special.

Enjoy tonight to those who are going!

I will. Dj out, wifes evening wear sorted, just the journey there and back-300 mile round trip. Think it may be worth it

[John_P]

In Blackpool now having a late lunch inside the tower. Can't wait for tonight now.

Deciding to give Earl's Court a miss due to Glastonbury/exams. Hoping it's the right choice..

If you've got a Glastonbury ticket (which you have!) then I'd say it's a safe bet. I just couldn't cope with the possibility of not getting an Earls Court ticket and then kicking myself when I don't get a Glastonbury ticket (which won't happen obviously).

[Tuna]

Yeah definitely. Just have to hope they don't pull out loads of rarities and make me regret everything.

[John_P]

In the queue to get in now and it looks like 90% of people at least have mafe an effort.

[The 38 year old virgin]

Seen a few paper macheoed heads wandering about in here. Also seen a banana in a pyjama

[Porcelina]

Got my ticket for Earl's Court and will sell it if the setlists aren't varied enough to justify it when they headline Glasto as well.

I say that now, though...

Just got back from the Empress Ballroom. What fucking amazing gig. I think that goes straight in at no.1, totally blew me away!

[CHRLY]

Best gig ever, started with rebellion as an intro aswell, thought they were going to play it!

[John_P]

Fantastic that, from the Mariachi band when waiting in the queueline all the way to the final song from the dj at 11pm. (mind games by John Lennon)

The gig itself was amazing. Really hope they play Glastonbury (and Northern tour dates) next year.

Utterly brilliant tonight - the one two of Sprawl II (feat. Win right next to us in the crowd on agogo bells) and Wake Up towards the end was just...wow. Loved the snippet of My Body is a Cage too
