Apparently they played here before to a disappointing turn out, so I'm not sure they're too keen on coming back.

No , there wasn't many at their last gig here which was disappointing, was talking to a Kiwi friend who seen them last week in Auckland and said they were excellent!! Fingers crossed they might give us a second chance!:rolleyes:

P.S - From the earlier posts, I'd like to give a thumbs up to Marbles, thought it was great!!

Got a phone call today, from a mate in the UK, he got me a ticket for porcupine Tree in october in London, same mate got me a Led Zeppelin ticket last year.:cool:

Have any of you heard another of Steve Wilson's side projects called I.E.M. (Incredible Expanding Mindfcuk) in which he plays all instruments himself? This is a more experimental, psychedelic/space rock sort of thing and not really in the vein of Porcupine Tree but well worth a listen though.

Think I'm lucky to have seen Porcupine Tree twice before. They're truly exceptional live, that's for sure.

Lucky you. Would love to see them live.

Wow what a great gig.
Dont think I have ever got goosebumps as much at the one gig!
I wanted Open Car and Way Out of Here and got my wish, worth the ticket price alone.

Indigo is a great venue, sound was terrific.

They said they were starting to write for a new album so hopefully they will play here next time round!

Big up to galwayrush for sorting us out with tickets

yes the first night they did only,the 2nd night they played more from In absentia i heard.strip the soul,3., and prodigal as well as cheating the polygraph..
im sure they played fear of a blank planet again as wilson accidentally knocked over the mic stand the first night.!

galwayrush

Stunning show, in a most impressive Arena. Definitely the best sound i have ever experienced.

Wahey lads, they coming again. Playing the Hammersmith Apollo in October. Only date listed on Ticketmaster is 9th October so far, but on another site, where I found out they were playing, it also says 2nd October. The reason why that'll be so sweet....its my 21st.

All-seated show, playing new album, and obviously more. Promises to be great!

EDIT: Don't think they playing the 2nd...something else booked in the Hammersmith that night.

Mushy

And my tickets arrived for this today:D
