new order playing with the chemical brothers in san francisco

I read somewhere that New Order and the Chemical Brothers share the same road crew. With them together for this gig and Coachella is it possible that they are also planning a joint tour of North America together.

I noticed on the Chemical Brothers website that they haven't finalized a full North American tour yet, so maybe somethings in the planning stages. A joint tour would draw tons of fans not to mention do well in promoting WFTSC in North America.

New Order and Chemical Brothers played together in a festival last tour and they didn't do anything, so I doubt they will this time, but I could be wrong.

Yes, nothing's more magical than that uniquely American ritual of a father taking his son out on his 21st birthday to eat at a restaurant for the first time.

Not entirely true...at most of the public type venues, arenas and amphitheaters, they will sell alcohol and allow all ages in...it's usually only when the gigs are in nightclubs that they will restrict ages...and even then I'm still not sure how they decide on the ages...sometimes it's 18 and up...others it's 21 and over...

i believe that's what i said roughly.

man i loved the Chems when i saw the live in 97/98.. to see New Order with them would be worthy of a trip out of Florida again, even after going to Coachella :)

they play out of control live but with brenard vocals sampled over the music with the lyrics sometimes i feel out of control

Cant Wait to see where they will be playing in New York, its about Time!

oh poopy! i'm so excited about this!! will please someone tell me what the dealio is with the tickets? are we just supposed to sit and wait?!? ouch!

I'd be very interested in going to this concert. ticket sale info please!...hehehe

Please post any info on tickets ASAP...

I am planning on flying to Oakland From Burbank, then back down on Saturday into Ontario for Coachella....!!

New Order twice in one weekend, it's been a while since that has happened...

woo!

George

yep, that's the way to go, i wonder how many other l.a.'ers are doing the same thing.

I'm flying from Ontario to Oakland and back the next day for Coachella. Seems like the other New Order freaks in L.A. have the same idea! Just waiting to get ticket info before I book plane tickets.

Mwahaha!

Been served since I was 16, legal age is 18, generally allowed in from age 12 if not drinking. I love Ireland.

I planned on spending Friday driving down the Pacific Coast Highway on the way to Coachella. This Oakland show has thrown a spanner into the works. I can't pass it up so I'll probably drive overnight after the show in Oakland to my hotel in Palm Springs (Motel 6 Palm Springs North).

You or somebody might know the anwser to this: How long of a drive is it to Oakland from Palmsprings? Yahoo says its 7 1/2 hour drive. I was thinking of driving it, but 7 1/2 hours would be cutting it to close, since my plane doesn't land in Palm Springs until 1:00pm Because my ticket to Palm Springs is free, I cant change the flight.

From MSN Maps & Directions:

Start: Oakland, California, United States End: Palm Springs, California, United States Total Distance: 477.7 Miles Estimated Total Time: 6 hours, 49 minutes

285 miles of that is Interstate 5. Traffic on the 5 usually moves at 80-85mph so I believe I could do it in less than 6 hours.

any idea if this is sold out yet? i have a friend doing a national park service project in oakland for the next few months (don't even ask); i could kill two birds with one stone.

Don't think that tickets are on sale yet for the Oakland gig.

I don't think tickets for this one have been sold yet. And has it been *confirmed* by NO management, or is all the info we have to go by on the Chems site?
