Courteeners pre sale sold out instantly

I just had a look & there are tickets still available for that. The Usher Hall website is selling them tomorrow & their system is much better than Ticketmaster's

Princes Street Gardens capacity is 2,000-2,500 I think. It's really small but very cool

The Courteeners gig is the same day as The Cure gig

Chvches tickets sorted! 

[gordo1701]

The tickets went on sale really quickly after the lineup announcement. Feels like they rushed into it, do you think they were going to do it next week but the poster went up on Princes Street too soon?

Each day will easily sell-out, it is Edinburgh in August after all,  so don't think they are bothered either way.

Yeah, that's true. It's a pretty strong lineup & I wasn't even sure if it was going to happen again but glad it is

Does anyone know the chances of royal blood supporting foo's?

They're definitely a possibility, but I've heard that they're UK exclusive to R+L. 

I'm gonna hazard a guess that The Kills + The Distillers are gonna be two of the supports & possibly Frank Carter.

Those Edinburgh gigs is that all of them announced now or do we think they still have more to announce?

I believe that's all the headliners announced, just need to see who's supporting the headliners throughout the next few months

Shame, was hoping New Order would be there.

[DomDom1984]

Anyone else thinking Wolf Alice as one of the supports for Foo Fighters? They've supported them recently and will apparently be about in the summer.

[harryomatic]

Foo Fighters
Wolf Alice
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes
Idles
Honeyblood

Would be perfection.

I think it will just be Frank Carter and Idles. I don't see why they'd book a strong support like Wolf Alice when it's sold out anyway and was always going to sell well.

Along those lines, but i don't think Idles is one. Just because i asked someone who should have seen the supports, and loves Idles, and couldn't remember. Could end up being them, but i suspect not.

I just presumed they'd be playing Scotland this summer given they're skipping it on their tour this year. I guess they could pop up at Electric Fields or something instead.

They were at EF last year mate. Doesn`t rule them out of course but seems unlikely.

Sleaford Mods is another that I`m hoping are playing a Scottish fest as they`re missing us on their tour.

Brilliant in Glasgow last time.

[DomDom1984]

Didn't IDLES play the QMU on their tour?

[Etodd22]

With Foo Fighters playing a week before R&L do we think a few acts from that festival will support them, like A day to remember, enter shikari etc?

They did but they're not playing Scotland on their tour in April. Given how many festivals they seem to be doing this summer it seems likely that they'll pop up somewhere up here.
