This thread really sorts the wheat from the chaff
I last saw them touring Everything Ever Written and they did fewer old songs than Iâd ever seen them do and theyâd turned some of them shit (A Film for the Future doesnât need piano and violin, lads). Does seem like they might have rectified this since though.
Might be misremembering, but feel like there was plenty of old stuff on the last tour and they were on decent form (in my completely unbiased opinion of course). Think Everything Ever Written tour they did play less, think they possibly misjudged how much people cared about that one.
Theyâre not stupid though, by marketing it this way theyâll know what people are after and theyâll do the hits.
I think they came back here a year after the one I went to and played a better setlist but I didnât go to that one
But yeah a 25th anniversary setlist will of course be pretty retrospective.
I saw them touring the Best Of album back in 2007 and the setlist was absolutely great. Queen of the Troubled Teens and everything
The Glasgow setlist I posted above, and when I saw them on the 100BW retrospective in 2010ish were both amazing. If they get Bob back itâs even more likely
Can confirm.Ditched the violin by that point too.
Just remembering, didnât they have a short lived bassist before Bob for the first single or two? I wonder if they genuinely mean EVERYONE is gonna be involved?
And yeah if they play I Donât Have the Map I will be a happy boy
Phil Scanlon!
Dublin and Belfast tickets sorted
sorted a pair of Edinburgh tickets!
Edinburgh presale seem to have sold out like crazy.
The Belfast presale was fâed up and didnt go live until 9.30ish
yeah i was 1 min late and seemed to struggle a bit so felt a bit lucky to end up with a pair of seated in the grand circle
Between the presale and the HGATR thread I really want to sack off work and go listen to some Idlewild records.
Wait I thought they were going out on Friday FUCK
Yeah I was confused why it didnât work for me at about 25 past but I came out and tried again and it worked
