UK October Mini-Tour Dates. — Forum Archive

22 May 2006, 09:40

Newcastle Academy (October 11) Blackpool Empress Ballroom (16) Glasgow Academy (18) Glasgow Academy (19) London Wembley Arena (27) Wolverhampton Civic Hall (29)

Looking at the dates it's not inconceiveable to suggest that one or two dates could be added to this. EDIT : There's one!

It's kind of ironic that I always moan about not getting the info early enough to save for gigs and plan time off for work. I ain't gonna be able to afford any tickets cos I'm saving for Madrid and Barca. Foowk!

I'll end up doing most of them.

Not paying for Wembley arena until much nearer the time though.

Cannae wait.Great news after a crappy day at work. Am looking forward to winter already.Break open the pernod! PS Barca sounds bit more swish than these and vikings like to travel to far off lands, don't they?

I am hoping to do all of them masel, but I havnae got a penny till we get Liverpool, Madrid and Barca out the way. I just hope there will still be tickets available in August / September. I would have loved to have done the Electric Picnic in Ireland as well but there's nae chance of that if I want to go to all of the above. Wolves Civic looks like the pick of the bunch, according to Mike it's a fecking great venue for a gig and the first time they've played there in 20 odd years.

Here's praying for a rollover win on the lottery, otherwise my share of the new Viking Badges are going on Ebay :uhoh: ;)

Hope they can shift a lot of tickets for the aircraft hangar Wembley Arena after Brixton last year when they sold a bit slow.Will deffo go anyway.I really fancy Blackpool too.Used to go there all the time .Never been to the Empress Ballroom but it will be great venue for NO to play.Could of made it a Saturday night though.Monday is a bit dodgy.

Deffo going to Wolverhampton.Funny that there's been the joke about NO playing there on these boards for some time and now they actually ARE playing there :laugh: .Been to a few gigs there before ,Happy Mondays back in 92 was one.It's all standing which is what we want!! :nod: :D

Credit card is gonna take a hammering :\ohwell:

London and Wolverhampton for me... Knew it was a good call saying I didn't want any birthday presents, but would come up with something for parents/Mrs SHEDi to buy me in the near future... Didn't quite realise it would be so soon!

Am I missing something here, or is Johnny in Serbia, Maya in England, or some serious schizophrenia taking place?

Any idea how much standing?

I might be able to get over for this show, otherwise, October is a difficult month for me. :crazy: :banghead:

Purchasing Wolves and Blackpool this week. Wembley nearer the time and then will examine the finacial feasabilty of newcastle later. Of course, if anyone wants to buy me a Newcastle ticket and let me give them the money back nearer the time they are more than welcome to! :D

23 May 2006, 13:25

They don't go on sale until Friday morning.

Well, looks like I will make a hop across the pond to catch Wembley and Wolves' show. Anyone else coming from Canada or US?

How far is it from London to Wolverhampton? What is the fastest way to get there?

24 May 2006, 02:57

London to Wolverhampton is about 125 miles.

Takes about 3 days on a Richard Branson Virgin train.

24 May 2006, 04:59

Wembley?? Barely managed to fill Brixton last year. Hopefully the tickets will not be overpriced again

£32.50 again across the board, by the look of it.

LOL - it probably will on a Sunday (a lot of train companies use that time as an excuse to shut the line down for engineering works)! :)

To answer your question, there is a Virgin train that goes to Wolverhampton either directly from London Euston or you have to change at Birmingham New Street. Since this is the same route that I've had to take every week for the past three weeks and for some weeks to come, it takes roughly about 2 hours (assuming the line isn't shut, and there's not a railway replacement bus between Milton Keynes and Birmingham)! :p

24 May 2006, 12:08

i'll be for the Wolverhampton and London Gigs..dont know about the rest at the moment..

24 May 2006, 14:42

Me and Deek are definitely up for Wembley, the only date he can go really. I might go to Newcastle as well, the rest of the dates are unfortunately no good to me :\ohwell:

25 May 2006, 06:28

just heard they're playing the MEN in December.

i suppose they'll make a few bob first from the October Tour, then finish off in Manny.

then retire for a while?

Where'd you hear that, John?!

Might make sense I s'pose. Fcuk me though, if people think Wemberlee is a shite venue. ...

Expect they'd need some major supports to help fill than one too.

You are a grumpy old man. The show at MEN in January was fabulous down the front, and where was Mr Jarvis??? Fannying about half-way back having a heart attack when they played "Ceremony" cos he'd already written the gig off!!

:nod:

EDIT: And on this topic, what happened to the mooted DVD of the MancAid event???
