rawaudioinput Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah The Libertines does seem like a pretty weak headliner; there were tons of tickets for the Ally Pally shows floating about for less than face value They do, however, appear to be the best option available to R&L Even if they could manage to get a bigger name it'd only be a pretty stale one like The Killers or Kings of Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Oh god yeah I remember how R+L described Jamie T as 'arena sized', PIxies just announced US tour dates for June, anyone think they could sub-headline? Never in a month of Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) PIxies just announced US tour dates for June, anyone think they could sub-headline? When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves and when Half Life 3 is finally released Edited February 23, 2015 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Englishdragon Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Bands do this kinda thing all the time, say a gig is sold out when it isn't but I knew his arena tour didn't do that well. Thankyou Mouseboy! Also The Cribs things was just a guess, I just phrased it wrong, they probably just meant the Festival Republic, they wouldn't headline Lock Up in a million years. It'd be an insult to Mike Davies. Cept again your wrong, I cant vouch for Cardiff covering top sections although id be surprised seen as though they only have one tier of seats on each side, but they didnt do that in Nottingham which is a 10,000 capacity venue, nearly double the size of cardiff. For Clarity My ticket for the nottingham gig - standing number 4000 of 4000 A pic from the nottingham show (not mine) showing no netting over the seats - The o2 gig reported by the telegraph, claiming 20,000 were there (Which would be a sellout) - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/10636101/Frank-Turner-The-O2-London-review.html Edited February 23, 2015 by Englishdragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Englishdragon Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 There was a photo on this thread, maybe 100 pages back by now, showing the O2 with Black Curtains down over the top tier during Frank Turners Show there I did say earlier that I didnt think London was a sell out (along with the Nia) but I thought Id link that article as they put 20K as the number (and Im only arguing with the other guy because he went down the route of "my friend is in the know so what Im saying is definitely true") Regardless it still shows that Frank Turner is more than big enough for top 3 and It would have to be 3 big acts for him not to be a sub this year.

Gejonimo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 So the ones that say "Access denied" are probably going to be announced, and the ones that say "Not found" aren't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
