Very few arena gigs are sub £60 now for standing / good seats

Only acts charging like £50 to stand are ones that probably shouldn't be in an arena to begin with!

Nothing but Thieves was over £50 for their Wembley shows in November for a reference, which did catch me a little by surprise. But in retrospect probably shouldn't have.

My Underworld ticket for Manchester tomorrow was £43.50 including fees and they're playing two sets across 2 1/2 hours. At today's rate that's an absolute bargain.

Charli XCX was £60 for standing at the O2 which I was slightly surprised by though more justifiable with Shygirl being the support

I paid £35 I think for Underworld a few years back and that was only because it was the final closing of the old Warehouse Project Store Street.

Huh I thought that might be a little more. If only as The Killers topping £100 and Kings of Leon topping £85 made me think that was closer to market rate now.

Rain City Drive were formerly known as Slaves (and informally known as Slaves (US)). But they sacked off troubled and troubling singer Jonny Craig and renamed.

 

 

Good album. Saw them perform it in full at Slam Dunk a while ago. Can't have been a 10 year celebration??

Arcade Fire Brixton Academy 4th July, Funeral anni show

[Andy0808 v5]

Urgh. Need them to announce a second show on the Friday, can’t make the Thursday 4th.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're so popping up at the G aren't they.

[Mardy]

Hehehe, Man alive, Arcade Fire in 2024. Petition to rename Worthy Farm as 'The Elephants' Graveyard'.

Picket outside the venue if you don’t like it. Can I not find it gross, but still like the band; of which there are multiple other members?

[chickenfire]

I'm not sure I'm ready for the Arcade Fire discourse again already 😅

Pre-allegations, this would've been an all-time gig announcement and would've been tempted to travel down for it. Great venue and one of my favourite albums of all time. Now, it's just weird. 

The fact they still have replies/comments off on all their socials says enough.

I was wondering if they'd announce something for here.

 

Not that I'm planning to go anyway.

Updated VW UK tour poster with supports. Very jealous of the Manny fans getting a longer set list 

Intrigued by “an evening with” 🤔 is that like a Q&A session or just a fancy way of saying extended set? Unless I’m being dumb and it’s the name of the support band.

I hope this trend of bands only doing Bristol and London on their UK legs doesn’t catch on!

How did you find Aviva Studios as a venue? Not done a gig there yet, only done the comedy but that was in the theatre bit not the hall.

Impressive. Think of it as a posh warehouse! Cavernous (really high ceiling) but still managing to feel intimate (think it's a 5000 cap.). Two smallish bars on either side towards the back. One minor issue is I think the only toilets are back downstairs, which could be a pain. Might need someone to validate that. Really friendly staff. Can't give you a definitive rating on the sound because I was right on the barrier but I've seen from others it was decent. Getting out took a little while, only two smallish exits were open post-gig. Convenient location not far from Deansgate/Spinningfields areas, loads of bars, etc. I got there early so getting in was simple but I did also hear the queue to get in was long a little later on. All-in-all though, I liked it

Doesn't it mean "couldn't find a support so we're just going to wing it"?

Sounds great, a pal of mine that went mentioned the high ceilings - she said it almost felt like an outside gig.

Hmm maybe. I would have thought eight months would be ample time for a band the size of Vampire Weekend to find a support act.
