The Libertines - why did they not announce it, ridiculous

[RossTC]

No, someone else booked it. We were in some sort of hostel, booked an entire room for 4 of us and ended up with 8 beds. We played "the floor is made of lava for an hour before we went out.

If you walked out the BIC, turned left, and left again, you go up a hill and there are a few cheap places just there, maybe half a mile from the venue

Okay cheers i'll have a look.

Don't know how much you want to pay Ross, but Travelodge Bournemouth seafront is less than 5 minutes walk and will be about £50.00 a night. There is also a new Hampton by Hilton close by the venue for about £65.00. Plenty of old school B&Bs as well for about £30.00

Perfect thanks, i'll jump into a B&B i think!

[LondonTom]

Any links greatly recieved as i'll be looking to stay down the night!

Check out the Cumberland/Suncliffe (owned by the same company), can be very reasonably priced for what they offer.

My mate who got tickets for the Manchester Ritz show says they've made the tickets valid for the arena show. I presmue this means they've cancelled that date (and the London one). Gutted for him, and anyone else who had tickets for The Ritz.

Correct. I had tickets for The Ritz but returned them to SeeTickets as didn't fancy seeing them at the arena.

Same here. Annoying but then i asked myself, would i have gone to the arena anyway? Yes... and they're offering me a standing ticket for about 10£ cheaper than the arena tickets so have chosen to keep it. 

[Martin Ashford]

They were pretty dire. We left after about 6 songs

[dentalplan]

The supports for the UK arena tour are The View, The Enemy, Reverend and the Makers, The Sherlocks (for those unfamiliar - read first three names again), Blossoms and for some reason... Sleaford Mods? That's gonna go down like a cup of cold sick.

Yeah I'm kind of gutted they're not the support in Glasgow, hope the play elsewhere.

Blossoms for Manchester - very happy with that, its great when a band i really like ends up as a support act at a gig im already going to!

[efcfanwirral]

Great gig in Manchester tonight. Was anyone else there? New stuff sounded ace, the band were really tight and the sound perfect (unlike the shocking mix at Glastonbury). 

Would've liked to hear up the bracket, tell the King (my favourite)  and likely lads but understand the new stuff needs to be played and some older stuff has to go. I love Heart of the matter and milkmans horse, fame and fortune and gunga din sounded good too. 

And every time i see Blossoms they get better, and each time a different new song blows me away. They'll be headlining that place in a few years! 

[mufcok]

Yeah I was there, sold my tickets originally after they pulled The Ritz gig but ended up going, sounded great. new stuff is great, fits in perfectly

 

[guypjfreak]

were gonna be seeing them this fri ,,,,,dont know wot surport is but hope its not thoses shitty things of mods ...load of shit that makes a good music genre look bad fuck em off there as bad as JZ ,KWest,dizzy gitface,and the darkness ahhhhh man the darkness only band ive ever had to walk away from and i wasnt even in the crowd i was at the cider bus but even that was to close

[Adystar]

Saw them in Nottingham last night and thought it was the tightest I've ever seen them.good mix of old and new songs

[Hugh Jass]

Pete's really packed the weight on now he's off the skag. 

[silkworm]

We're seeing them Sat night, hope they make it that far as last time I had Libs tickets it was to Camden where Pete crashed out just before they were supposed to start and left us all standing in the Electric Ballroom for hours.

[Staff_Sav]

I got a spare ticket for Bournemouth Gig tonight if anyone wants it?

If this was on a weekend I'd be all over it. Probably their last (proper) UK gig for a while I'd guess, then maybe Pete's solo stuff in the Autumn.

[Muppetmark]

shame im not in the country or id be all over that.
