Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

[amfest12]

Hi, Just found out that Melvins are playing on 29/6 at Chalk in Brighton and that's the day I arrive to London. my flight should land at 14:00 at Heathrow and I wonder if it will be possible to make it. it's written that event time is 18:30-22:00, does it mean there will be support act? anyone knows when usually main act starts there? if someone wants to add how is this place for concerts that's will also be great . tnx

Definitely do-able. 

14:00 heathrow land

14:30 out of heathrow

16:30 arrive at brighton ( 2 hour train roughly )

plenty of time to spare to sort luggage or whatever.

I'd expect the act to be on around 8:30 absolute earliest based off those timings

Don't know where you're coming from or if flights are already booked, but if you can fly to Gatwick it's an easy 30 mins-ish train to Brighton.

Thinking she's probably going to rock up tbh. Park headliner? JP?

Classic name brand act, 10 years since she did a show over here. Rare act, good back catalogue. Could attract a decent audience, but probably better at night. I'm gonna say Park headliner.

Presumably all the other names highly likely?  Think Sigur Ros'd be who I'd of had most interest in though

Could be festival headline exclusive for latitude then play as a sub at glasto etc too

She's not heading Latitude, but I can't see anything about an exclusive (think I misremembered that or maybe it was erroneously reported as one).

Come on boys. Download or Glasto, either/or will make me happy as Larry.

I think it was announced as her first gig for X years but she's since announced others that have kiboshed that.

Just announced for this, not sure if this is classed as a festival though so maybe Latitude is the only festival rather than only gig

 

Brilliant venue, going to do a couple of them at least.

Kind of their aesthetic. They also posted 45 similar pictures of a wine glass full of cigarettes on Instagram for no apparent reason

Aye it's brilliant for gigs, must admit not so many take my fancy this year but still a good varied line up.

Thank you! Knew there was some spin on it.

If you were a fan of Squeeze back in the day, I would certainly recommend them… caught them back in October and they were excellent.

Bit of a ticket splurge this morning. Afflecks Palace in Guildford and then Mogwai at Brighton Dome next week.

Be interesting to see Afflecks Palace (and support band Pastels) live.  They're both on the Spirit of Spike Island label and clearly hugely influenced (putting it mildly) by Stone Roses and the Madchester scene, so intrigued to see whether they come across as their own thing or a bit of a tribute acts. They've got some decent tunes and I enjoyed the album they released in 2021, so keeping optimistic!

It amuses me that a band are named after a place where I used to work.

Fall out boy dates look to be around October, should find out pretty soon

Sentence confused the hell out of me for a while. Spent many a Saturday in Afflecks as a teen.

Always try and see them when they visit the city and when they play Glastonbury. The bandstand is a great venue, as long as it’s dry!
