    I'm also looking for a pre-sale code if anyone would like to PM me. Otherwise it's down to the F5 lottery on Tickemaster in the morning. Imagine they'll go quicksmart.

    FYI the generic code they sent out to the mailing list won't work for London and you need one of the specific codes only made available to people who preordered the album. Probably isn't many of them. I can't imagine them skipping Dublin btw. Forbidden Fruit perhaps?


  • Registered Users Posts: 454 ✭✭GK1001


    Yeah I'm sure they'll be over here but planning a London weekend visit anyway next year and the timing is good.
    Be interesting to see what they do in terms of a festival but I'd be surprised if it wasn't EP. They have a great affection for it from the 1st time they played it and 3 years ago they mentioned as much. Can't wait either way.

    Nah way to big for FF tbh , can see Pheonix Park gig . Maybe Arcade Fire with special guests The National :D

    I dunno if I'd say they'd be too big for FF. They've a good fanbase here but it is much more concentrated in the 25+ age group which I think would be looking for something a bit classier than a Phoenix Park job. However I just remembered FF is a POD venture so that probably out of the question too as they've stuck with MCD the last few appearances. After the hoohah about the gig prices last time they played the O2 I suspect they might skip that option as well as it is probably not worth their while to play for any cheaper. EP might be too far out from their tour dates but it is possible.

    won't be at EP as they're playing in Canada that weekend.
    nothing from May 2nd - July 30th, except for that London date on June 6th, so would definitely expect a few European dates there. Phoenix Park in July would definitely be the most likely.

    True that they were with MCD the last few times but so were Kasabian and they nabbed them last year for FF i know Kasabian would be cheaper and not as big as AF

    I'd guess FF but depending on what night they are on at primavera they might not be able to play FF.

    If not FF, I'd guess Pheonix park

    They'll play Longitude?

    They are still too big for either FF or Longitude imo . If you look at this years headliners they are way bigger then all 3 of them . Either they do 1 or 2 O2 shows during the summer or one big outdoor show

    I expect it will be later in the year that we see them.

    I'm saving my presale code anyway although pretty annoyed I didn't use it for a warm up show as it's since been reset for the full tour.

    Will try in the general sale this morning, good luck all!

    I couldn't help myself. I'm keeping my pre-sale code for when they announce something here. You gotta think it'll be at least 2 gigs here also
