Speculation on future gigs/tours

[HannahG123]

So psyched Pfft, I doubt Hannah's even heard more then one of their songs :phi:

 

nah they just make me cringe

[Bumpypotato]

what songs have you heard, out of curiosity? Personally I don't think I would have gotten into them if it wasn't that I listened to the whole album consecutively. Anyway, psyched for their new album

Well heard the cave and little lion man to death. And my boyfriend gave me the album to get into but everytime I tried to listen to it I cringed and turned it off Bleugh. Guess its just not my thing!

+1 to your boyfriend if you happen to see them at a festival or something similar, you'll notice how good they are.

 

ANYWAY, we're a bit off topic and I don't want another infraction

 

Could the band play some warm-up shows in late august or just early september?

Although Cave and Little Lion Man have been played to death, yes. Of course, I don't bother with the radio anymore, so

 

Back on topic, is it possible they do what Linkin park did and play a few shows before release? This is the first album build up I've experienced so I really don't know.

[HannahG123]

Meh his music taste is awful. That's the only 'good' band he listens to, the rest is neddy beats

 

Would we not know by now if they were going to?

[Bumpypotato]

I would have thought so.

They did these warm-up shows since Abso, I think (probably even before). The few pre-album gigs in the TR era were announced in August, so probably they'll do some.

[Riveon]

No Australian tour until 2014 according to the editor of Triple J magazine, who interviewed Matt in London the other day

 

(That's all I have to add.)

[Bumpypotato]

When are they likely to announce the stage design? After the album release I'm assuming.

Im sure it's one of the many things we'll find out during the loads of interviews set to come out next month.

[Jobby]

They announce that?

 

This is what I thought, they might try and describe it in interviews but I don't think we'll actually see it until the tour starts.

[forevermusic]

You only really know what it looks like when date one comes along. I think Bellamy wanted a lot more on the arena tour then they got and as a result talked a lot about getting a bigger production than just the towers, which were still pretty big.

Yeh it's just going to get bigger and bigger until the heath and safety give in and give Matt what he wants....

[forevermusic]

Dom in the NME interview said they might bring to stadiums in 2013 "this big upside-down all-seeing eye all made out of video, maybe a big pyramid that can expand and contract and turn inside out and move around".

 

Sounds a little bit like what they wanted The Resistance stadium tour to be. Would be impressive, but still have an air of being recycled...

[Jobby]

That description does sound very similar to the TR stadium tour stage, to be honest. Still sounds like they aren't up for going for (fairly) simple but effective stages like L/R or HAARP, which is a shame.

I had a feeling the 'stripped down' thing wouldn't come to pass.

[Dominic.]

Reading through that 2009 tour book thing and realised that they had rehearsed blackout to perform

 

Boo

[Riveon]

So when they come back to Australia they're thinking of doing outside gigs - possibly parks or stadiums, and possibly bringing the Europe Stadium tour design over. Matt said they're not sure when; it could be late half of next year. I'm not sure why they said 2014 in that case?

 

Having never been to a stadium gig before, I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or not.

(I'm not sure where else to put this - feels a bit premature to start an Australian tour thread.)

[kueller]

Well Stadium gigs usually have the longer sets of the tour at least. Seems a bit odd to bring the whole stadium set over the Australia for a few gigs though. I wonder how much that'll affect prices too.

I hadn't thought of that, that's a good point.

...but then again, yeah, $130 is steep enough as it is. Any major increase beyond that would be exorbitant.

[sebby aka pup]

Stadium style gigs in parks would be pretty damn amazing. It'd probably be close to Coldplay prices ($150) but would be worth it for longer sets/a better atmosphere than an Arena/Stadium

Where'd you hear this?
