Great Gigs

[*Bob*]

Who comes-out worst in the Iggy/Insurance Vs Lydon/Butter corporate cocksucking shootout?

I'm going to go with Iggy.. he has further to fall.

[Jah Lush]

Well, the tickets were seriously reduced and half the money went to charideeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Jah Lush]

Though being a corporate whore myself I got my tickets for nothing but paid a fiver to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The Libertines are doing a night at The Forum.

Will it be any good? Nostalgia's not what it used to be...

[kpc]

Not had the best day at work so cheered myself up by booking tickets for a couple of gigs at Union Chapel - Mark Lanegan and Cowboy Junkies. Should be ideal venue for both.

Nah - won't be any good IMO. Just saying like - in case anyone wants to give it a go.

I'm flagging up this Grinderman gig at the Coronet because it's just up the road, a bus ride away (apart from it being a good band that is). On sale today, here:

Terrible venue, but for the right fans it's some line up.....i've never been a huge fan of Flaming Lips, and ashamedly Dinosaur Jr passed me by- but i'm sure for fans of either or both this is a special gig. ATP do put on some amazing stuff.

Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips will return to these shores to play a special one off gig in London?s Alexandra Palace on Friday 1st July 2011.

The band will be playing their ninth album ?The Soft Bulletin? released in 1999. The special show will also feature Dinosaur Jr performing their 1988 album ?Bug, and Deerhoof Performing 2004?s ?Milk Man?.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday.

Here's a pre-sale for a nice set of gigs next month (mostly at the Forum in NORTH London, unfortunately). I can highly recommend Paolo Nutini - great voice.

Presale starts 9am tomorrow and I wouldn't hang about.

If anyone is interested in seeing Brandon Flowers (not my cup of tea) then his gig at the Forum is on sale on Friday morning. The presale has sold out.

Come on ED, let's switch off those TVs and get out more.

Has anyone heard of Rumer? She's a local girl (Herne Hill) and she's doing a benefit at the Half Moon for the British Red Cross to aid flood victims in Pakistan.

The gig is next Friday (10th September). Tickets are only ?12.50 and that includes food. What more can you ask for ?12.50?

If you're planning to go then please PM me so I can say hi.

This is sold out. Good for her.

Brandon Flowers playing Brixton next month. Presale now, here:

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=408204&interface=o2priority

Kings of Leon return to O2 (yes, dreadful I know) in December for their new album. Presale probably tomorrow morning at 9am.

Elbow long long awaited tour next March on sale this Friday. Probably pre-sales tomorrow/Thursday.

Also, Rumer (local, Herne Hill) could be the next big thing and doing a date at Shepherds Bush Empire. Would post a Rumer You Tube link but can't access YT at work. Give her a go.

There's likely to be another Kings of Leon date at O2. I think they're holding back on the second date as they did a deal with the devil over ticket sales (sad but true).

Rumer is on Jools tonight (ie now bbc2)

She was excellent - voice reminded me of tracey thorn.

There are more Brandon Flowers tickets on sale for Brixton if anyone is interested. Has been sold out for weeks but a few just gone back on. Here:

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=408204&interface=o2priority

Update to say that Elbow is on sale next week. If you sign up to their website you'll get a pre-sale. 28th March is the confirmed date at the O2 but I think there will be another date added. DO NOT BUY SEATS ON LEVEL 4 AT THE O2 - I'm always saying that but people still do!

Also, tickets for the BBC Electric Proms on sale tomorrow morning (Thurs 23rd). Neil Diamond playing the Roundhouse - definitely floats my boat and I don't care if I am uncool. J'adore Neil and I know all the words. Also Robert Plant and Elton John at the Roundhouse.

[TillieTrotter]

I've actually put a link to Rumer on the Whats East Dulwich listening to. Check it out.

[giggirl]

Ah yes so you did TT. She's fabulous.

She's got a Shepherds Bush gig in December. Buy here:

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=410872&interface=o2priority&referral_id=o2priority

Also, she's accompanying Elton John at his Electric Proms gig at the Roundhouse next month. I can't stand Fat Reg so I won't be going but tickets for all the Electric Proms gigs are on sale tomorrow morning at 9am and will go really fast.

[TillieTrotter]

I'm going to the Albert Hall gig in November in the Royal Box no less!!!

[giggirl]

I always suspected that there was Royalty in East Dulwich. So I was right then TT?

[TillieTrotter]

;-)

[giggirl]

Did anybody get any tickets for the Electric Proms this morning? Let me know - could meet for a drink or something maybe?

[hibbs]

No unfortunately not :( Neil Diamond had sold out by 9:20am.

[giggirl]

For Hibbs and anyone else who wants to go to the Electronic Proms but couldn't get tickets this morning, here is the buying screen. Everything is showing as sold out. Keep that page on your PC and hit refresh any chance you can. The gigs are NOT sold out and the buying screens will go live again - I promise - you just need to be on line when they go live.

http://www2.seetickets.com/bbcelectricproms/?

Seetickets is the crappest selling agency on the planet - they are showing as sold out because otherwise their pathetic little website would crash, as it does when more than 7 people at a time log on to it.

[hibbs]

Unfortunately the site won't let me pick a gig or proceed :( Thanks for the link though.

[hibbs]

Please ignore my previous message GG, I have just re read your message and I now see it's a waiting game. Thanks again. x
