There's also the Maldron Hotel Cardiff Lane (John Rogersons Quay). Because of the New Bridge you could walk it in 10-15 mins

Got 3 tickets for the Sunday Night Standing first go at 9am this morning. Was surprised it was that easy. Should be a cracking gig. They played a few off the new album at Oxegen so it will be better now that i've had a few listens to it.
I heard that not may showed up to watch them on Main Stage. I got up the front which was odd cause I expected a huge crowd. So wasn't looking behind me. My mate who was with me heard on the radio no more that 10,000 showed up. I was surprised with that. Then again all the young folk were prob off watching the DJ's :eek:.... The rain prob didn't help either... Does anyone know a rough estimate of the Oxegen crowd?

I couldn't say how many were there, but I looked back a few times and I can say for sure there were less people then there were at Kasabian or Jay Z, I said before Oxegen I didn't think they should be a headliner, but sure thats in the past.

I actually really did not enjoy them at Oxegen but I absolutely love the new album so I'm gonna give them a second chance, the O2 will suit them a lot more anyway.

anyone know if the support acts for monday are the same as sunday?

i heard ash and snow patrol were meant to be on the bill for monday but suspect this might not be 100% accurate

More bullsh-it surprise surprise.

Don't post any more speculation in this thread again. This is your last warning.

Who the support act is advertised very clearly on ticketmaster. Have a wander over there.

big_show

Ok Just to clear up this up, who is supporting Arcade Fire on Sunday?

EDIT: ah found it, vampire weekend and devendra banhart

conno16

apologies, didn't realise it had been posted previously

jill_valentine

Tom Waits and Kurt Cobain AFAIK.

jill_valentine

Even Jim Carroll ought to be happy with that so.

conno16

tom waits would be good
but not as a warm up act for AF

kurk cobain lol
RIP dude

Can't wait for this, I love VW too so it should be a good gig

Saw them at Rock en Seine yesterday. I reckon the O2 show will be great. New stage setup is excellent and the band were more alive and into playing than when I saw them last in the Phoenix Park. New songs sounded really good and they didn't seem to be bored of playing the old ones either. Only downside is they had to cut the gig early after rain forced them off the stage! No matter what bad things you say about Ireland that is one thing you'll never see here!

jill_valentine

Am I right in saying some of Beirut were onstage for Ocean of Noise? My French blows.

Toast

Yup lead singer and one of the other guys were up there with them playing brass. Think they were playing during Wake Up as well but had moved to the side and couldn't see them by then.

Anybody get their tickets yet? Booked it through the Arcade Fire web site. Probably too early but said i'd ask

jill_valentine

AF's own site tickets will be probably within a few weeks of the show, I think.

Cobraverde

Received my tickets this morning. Booked through ticketmaster, though certainly would've used the band site instead had I realised.

Woden

Yeah interested in knowing when the crowdsurge ones arrive also if someone could post.

indiewindy

Has anyone got their crowd surge tickets yet? 5 weeks away now and still mine havent arrived

poundhound

No, havent received them yet either.

L'prof

I haven't received mine yet either, but I'd be interested to hear if Ticketmaster have sent out theirs yet???

Look up four posts

Basq

Well f*ck it!

Arcade Fire We have been forced to cancel our European Tour opener in Lisbon on Nov 18 due to security concerns around the NATO Summit on Nov 19 & 20.

The band are disappointed to be forced into this situation but there’s nothing more we can do. We will refund all tickets and we’ll endeavour to get back to see our fans Portugal as soon as we can.

Tickets will be refunded in full at point of purchase from November 3rd onwards.
