Lineup 2015

[thetime]

You just missed out on 1995? That's gutting!

Gutting indeed.

Not so much for Bjork but that line-up was awesome, every headline act was pretty amazing at that time.

[DarthSaul]

Courteeners have sold out Heaton park

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Astounds me how big they are in northern land

[kingcrawler]

It's only 20000 capacity so it was always going to sell out, thought that might have increased slightly as they were tweeting this morning saying extra tickets had been put on sale.

[dentalplan]

I know it doesn't seem that way on telly but Manchester is only a small part of the North of England.

20k tickets there is piss easy for them anyway.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Plenty of knobheads at that gig for sure.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Plenty of knobheads at that gig for sure.

Plenty of knobheads at every gig, it's just that the presence of Liam Fray gives them the high they need to 'express themselves'.

Its the day before Park Life

I bet the stewards/security and police in Manchester are looking forward to that weekend!

Time for a holiday.

Don't think they can..

[VCK]

What's this nonsense about "firms" arranging fights at Courteeners gigs over Twitter?

[kemosabe]

What's this nonsense about "firms" arranging fights at Courteeners gigs over Twitter?

Im not saying its not complete bullshit (infact im guessing it is) but football firms do now fight at gigs rather then football sue to the lack of police presence.

though these firms are normally like 4 people so im guessing its complete shite.

[tyranicide]

By firms do you mean you means fans?

[mrtourette]

No I think he means actual law firms.

[rawaudioinput]

Someone on Seatwave has bought two Royal Blood tickets at Brixton for £125 each, must've had a lot of loose change

[dentalplan]

Their bank account must be out of the black now.

[Amy Lawn]

I don't know why there are so many fucking drongos here that love The Courteeners, I'm ashamed to say that two members of my immediate family class them as their "favourite band". My sister goes to every gig they play that she can get to, freely acknowledges that their crowds are horrendous but just accepts it because she loves the band. I didn't know they weren't one of the biggest bands in the country until very recently, I remember being completely amazed at how low they were on the Leeds 2012 bill, I know about 10 people that went purely for them, and there was a big group of tents near us that year with Courteeners flags up, barely left the campsite but for them. What is the appeal? They're utterly fucking shocking.

[Matt42]

Gonna go full russy and claim their turgid shite

expect them to get a big MainStage slot for 2015.

[dentalplan]

Working class hometown boys done good singing proper music about places in Manchester. And Oasis aren't about anymore.

Quite a lot of my mates like Courteeners, I'm the only one in my circle who doesn't like them which I'd be fine with if they didn't say they are one of the best Indie bands but when I say Arcade Fire they tell me they're shit and so is my music taste

But no one I know that likes them is a dick though (except this girl I know does get drunk at nearly every show she goes too) and they're all nice people. I even know someone who is quite posh who like them

But these are the troubles I have with living up north

[#FreeComTruise]

You're just begging for your gig list to be quoted here

Surely you've noticed by now that most people don't like the stuff that we on here do, and that no one's going to be impressed by/care about bands like Arcade Fire?

I live up north with none of these problems. In fact, I know loads of people that like bands like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Oasis, The Libertines and acts you might associate with The Courteeners but I don't think I know anyone who has given a toss about them since the debut album. EDIT - Having said that, I'm a bit older than you so your mates would have been listening to god knows what when the first album came out.

I thought this was pretty standard practice unless you were driving back home after?

Why? I have nothing to hide

Yeah, but I like to think that everyone I know like Arcade Fire

Probably, one of the most popular bands in my sixth forum

I don't really know that many people that do it to be honest. I've had a bit to drink at gigs before but she told me she could barely remember any of Foals when she saw them, which I don't get but it is her ticket and if she has fun who am I judge
