who is support at Brixton / manchester?

Does anybody know who the support act will be at the Brixton & Manchester gigs?

I imagine for most of us it'll be an irrelevance as we'll be in the pub until the last minute. It'll be interesting to see if they can find someone interesting to tempt us in earlier, mind....

For an old school feel, hopefully ACR!

Digital are available at Brixton.....

Arthur Baker was damn good at Brixton last time, I seem to remember a corking mix of a House / techno version of Anarchy in the UK.

Ive got my fingers crossed for British Sea power !!!!!

I will be in the Pub with rest of the NOOLERS !

Liam - we agree on something!! Looking forward to meeting you - lets avoid politics, though, eh?

Of course. I dont talk about it when i'm out. I like to think i do actually have a life you know.

Bless, you just keep on thinking that, Liam!

ACR would be a nice touch. I would defo wander in and see them. Can't think of much else I'd bother with though. I can't even remember the supports for the last Academy / Apollo gigs?! Didn't Gab's Wish get a run-out in Brixton at one of the gigs, and didn't Arthur Baker do a set before each gig on that tour (I remember giving 4.45 a bell before the last Brixton gig with my mobile phone stuck in the speakers at Mr.B played Everything's Gone Green!)

Oh, I'd have Arthur Baker back just for that version of "Good Vibrations".

who cares?

pay-em and send them home.

and NewOrder play an extra hour :D (yea right.. )

lets face it they are bound to be shite!!!!!! open the doors ar 8.30 and get the lads on at 9.15/9.30

I hope it's Arthur Baker

More like they can't be arsed registering. Their forum appears to have been beefed up with even more bizarre nutcase threads than before. And Rod Hull is still alive and well, much to my horror.....

I recall (just about) Doves supporting them at the Apollo a few years back, that would be quite nice, but very surprising......:\ohwell: will just have to wait and see who we have missed....

Happy Mondays - Now how cool would that be ?

Nah, the Mondays are doing their own tour at the moment. They wouldn't support New Order..

Screw it and just get the master himself - Vini Reilly.

we might get lucky, after all.....it actually did happen to the cure, wembley arena 2000.....the support band stood them up so they played for another 45-is minutes;)

'They're not worthy'

It has got to be someone who can be worthy of being a support act. My contenders are :

U2 Coldplay The The Echo & The Bunnymen The Cure The Smiths Happy Mondays Stone Roses Deacon Blue Depeche Mode

Anybody Else ????

Electronic or Joy Division?

The answer will be whoever is prepared to pay the most to get the spot.

recent years have seen elbow & doves as support - i'm prepared to check 'em out if they're half way decent...

That was class, indeed.

I've got his set on the bootleg of one of the Brixton nights if anyone is interested.

Editors? They have a wicked live set.

My choice of warm up act will be John Smiths or even Hogaarden for some Belgium flare!

See you in the Canterbury!

I doubt it will be Editors.They're supporting Franz Ferdinand at the MEN Arena the following week. British Sea Power are at the Ritz on the 20th so I can't see them doing it either. iLiKETRAiNS would be good.
