    On their website it seems that they've a gap in their schedule from 27th Feb - 22nd March.

    Do they even do gigs in the Ambassador anymore? Haven't been there in years

    Apart from the sound i always liked the Ambassador . you had a good venue anywhere on the floor .

    Can see it being a mistake and maybe it being changed to the Academy

    I thought the Ambassador had stopped doing gigs, the last time I was there was for Megadeth in 2007. The White Lies are well worth seeing live though, was at the NME Awards Tour in 2009 in Brixton Academy, it was a great night and they stole the show.

    Its smaller than the Olympia , think about 1200 ish. The crowd floor is just a big open space , no columns like the olympia and then a seating area upstairs . Kinda like a smaller version of Brixton Academy

    This is awesome news :D

    White Lies are fantastic live, saw them support Coldplay in the Phoenix Park and in the Academy at Heineken Green Spheres.

    Ambassador is a class venue, I've been to some incredible gigs there (Manics, Mansun, Suede, Idlewild, The Vines)

    Ambassador pisses all over the Academy in terms of a venue

    i was thinking as i was passing it today , could they be testing the waters to see if people were still interested in it as a venue?
