1. Because it's expensive, on an unconvenient date (29, 30 and 31 of May, 3 nights when I have already tickets to see my favorite Spanish band) and it's in Barcelona, 600 kms away from where I live. Not a chance.


    Gerard, I'm wondering the same thing. If they're playing arenas during the spring, I think they should be announcing dates and tickets yesterday. It's November, I doubt anything prior to April can be announced and sold already. And festivals season starts around May/June so, unless they do a show-show-show-festival-show-show-festival-show schedule, I don't think they have much time. We'll see.

  2. The three headliners have never played Glastonbury before so I think Arcade Fire will be one.
  3. Here Comes The Night Time is brilliant. Lots of these songs are getting a days constant listening. Another complete run through required this weekend with a few beers.
  4. Live videoclip for Afterlife, last night at the Youtube Awards:




    Only adjective that comes to mind is: brilliant.
  5. Posted it yesterday (page before). But yeah, brilliant
  6. They can do no wrong so far. Everything sounds brilliant live. I thought they might have had problems. I sooo should have skipped the rugby and went to Glasgow. Fuck.

  7. Whops, must have missed it. Sorry dude!

    Yep, Gerard, you clearly chose the wrong option this time. Sorry for you mate.
  8. Big time gutted. I shall have to get blind drunk to compensate. I will travel next year if required to see these guys.

    You're crazy.
  10. The rugby tickets popped up before mention of the Arcade Fire tickets. Just a case of bad timing.


  11. They'll be back in Ireland - they made a fortune there last time - 73 f***in' euro for a seat - started a big online debate where their manager came into the posting section of the Irish Times in a bid to justify the cost (compared to £25 a few earlier in Birmingham).

    They'll be back - it just won't be cheap. How much were the Glasgow tickets anyway?
  12. Glasgow tickets were £33 each, not bad but costly for a Barrowland show.

    Tickets were difficult enough to get anyway. You would have struggled to get them in an online general sale anyway, Ger. I suppose I could've got one or two for you while I was at the shop.
