Heading to this for sure!

Thanks for the heads up. Strange to see them revisiting screamadelica, but could be fun.

They've been playing it all summer.

Saw them do it twice already & I can't wait for the 3rd - was looking into going to Edinburgh for Hogmanay (the final time they'll play Screamadelica) but hotels were mad dear.
Delighted they're coming to Dublin :pac:

Nearly a year even, saw this show in London in November 2010, and again at Benicassim in July. Will probably go to this aswell mind you.

Are they being a bit ambitious with the o2? Last two times was Olympia. Suppose the Olympia is too small for the giant set up of the Screamadelia tour though.

Yes, however it's during a quiet period for concerts and The O2 is very light on the amount of events held there these days. I'd say the upper seated tiers will be cordoned off.

ItsAWindUp · 11-10-2011 9:31pm

This will be some gig I'd say.

CiaranK · 11-10-2011 9:45pm

It is very expensive for just the 9 songs and the 3 on the encore. I'd LOVE to go though. Seen some of it on Glasto and was hoping they'd play. Just don't have the finds at the moment

11-10-2011 9:47pm

They don't just do screamadelica though.

This is going to be amazing. Cannot wait.

They play a greatest hits set beforehand.

Oh rightm I must have been the festival setlist that I was looking at then cause loads of the recent ones are only 11 or 12 songs. I see the earlier sets from the tour is much better

Cool, That might entice me a bight more to get together the funds

Will this be a quick sell out? Won't have money for a week or two...

Not a hope, I'd say. As far as I can recall, the last time they played the Point, it was on the xtrmntr tour, around the same time of year (between Christmas & New Years'). That was nowhere near half full, and with the O2 having a much larger capacity, I'd say this is a very optimistic booking for them.

Squelchy · 12-10-2011 9:09am

You gotta love O2; the presale link defaults to Britney Spears.

The last time I used the presale they told me it was happening alongside general sale.

I don't think it will sell out but I think there will be a much bigger crowd at this given that, 1. It's Screamadelica so lots of old school fans and 2. They've been on the festival circuit all summer so will have earned themselves a few more fans along the way I would imagine.

ffs....i just bought 4 tickets to feckin britney spears instead of the scream.

leakyboots · 12-10-2011 10:20am

Delighted this got announced, one of my favourite albums and I wasn't able to make any of the other dates they've done this.

Any sign of a presale code?

In London they did this literally before hand, as in before the support even.

Primal Scream Screamadelica

In that order. As a result I missed the greatest hits part, loads did.

donal666 · 12-10-2011 10:54am

Nearly 80 quid for a standing ticket is ridiculous...would love to see them though...

Really? Any setlists I've seen have just had the album then Rocks, Jailbird and Country Girl.

Will probably go, but if there's a regular set too i'm definitely there.

Saw 'em twice (Belfast & Brighton) - neither had a greatest hits dealie - just Screamadelica (but great versions of the songs - different ones got extended each time - seemed like they were still loving it and keeping it fresh both times), then the encore with Rocks, Country Girl and Jailbird... well worth 50quid in my book - tix booked

No, or at least if the info was put out somewhere it never made it to me.

WindmillWarrior · 14-10-2011 9:27am

just got my tickets for this, tiered seating. But according to the seating plan the whole gig is seated, but the floor is standing isn't it?

I got standing, so it can't all seated

Why would you want to be seated at a Primal Scream gig??

ItsAWindUp · 21-10-2011 8:07pm

Printed off the ticket today, this is gonna be one belter of a gig.
