Just went on Priority presale to get a pair of tickets. £98.75 for 2 on the balcony. I checked what I paid when they went on sale last May and it was £56.57. She didn't even sell it out before the cancellation. I'm saying no today and seeing how I feel nearer the time.

Jesus, yeah that is a lot higher than I expected, I would have thought it would be closer to 30 per ticket than 50

That friday is a shocker

Decent undercard for a US fest

Saturday is only day worth it, Green Day tool the money and another festival a fatcry from itself. Also, it's not the US

Montreal is in Canada so theres that.

 

oh hey. Who wants to come over to an 1800 cap gig 

Why do you get feeling this is to try and make out that Blur who aren't big in the US are playing a small venue.

I agree that it's a reasonable undercard but the Canadian city of Montreal's in America now?

Quite something given that U2 and REM became very friendly, to the point a supergroup of the two played at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.

REM were hardly known in the UK at the time (hence the bottles), although I was there as one of their tiny band of devotees.  They were specifically requested by U2, so this may have been the start of the bands' friendship.

I'd love to be there, if only to see the American Blur fans' reaction to Jockstrap.

Is there even enough people in Athy to fill that place? Remember seeing it when stayed there a few years ago, The Frames played in a circus tent at Ballintubbert House. That was a brilliant night.

Its a kip.

Hoping the Marr gig is a success and kicks off more gigs by bands you know in working men's clubs and other places with foam tiles on the ceilings.

Park this time I reckon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Difficult to gauge how many people really care any more...

[crumbler]

She should've had the success Florence did.

[FakeEmpire]

Park seems a good shout.

Other stage headliners on the Friday?

Very much doubt they’d accept a slot like that. They still headline everywhere they play.

There is virtually no point in accepting that on a BST year. Special Guest slot JP Friday maybe 

[charlierc]

I'll be fair, I thought there were rumours this lot were doing more smaller dates than the Cardiff & Edinburgh shows announced here.

There seems to have been a lot of mistreating support acts at that time tbf. Some of Depeche Mode's said they got rough treatment from fans, with one in 1993 saying they even walked from the tour as they hated the experience that much.

I read Bono's book recently and he was very glowing of REM while hanging out with them backstage at Milton Keynes Bowl, though it gave the impression they just happened to be booked together rather than it being a specific request by U2 themselves.

[charlierc]

Presumably something in the UK is likely to loom given she was big enough to book Alexandra Palace on her last run round here. Less sure about the when.
