2014 tour venues

Well, after the unique, amazing experience of Jodrell Bank - where I mentioned to anyone who was listening that I was getting bored with the same-old same-old 02/Apollo venues of this world - how about a few suggestions for possible venues for Nu Ordah to grace around the UK - or further afield - next time out?

You never know.... someone, somewhere, with a bit of influence, might even read this site... ;o)

Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling:

The Spa, Bridlington.

Pros:

Great sound. Recent renovation. Good mid-capacity. Decent bar. A new venue for New Order. Ten miles up the road from where I live.

(And preferably pick a Bank Holiday weekend slot so we can all have a beer on The Beach).

Cons:

It's in Bridlington.

Any more for any more?

margate winter gardens

Liverpool royal court

and how about a university tour

remember the mid to late 80's, went to loads of I uni gigs by new order. why does no one play uni's anymore?

I shudder to think what Uni students listen to these days...

1989: Electronic, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Cocteau Twins, Jesus Jones, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, Front 242, Ride, Sugarcubes, Depeche Mode / Violator, NO / Technique, Nitzer Ebb, S'Express, Severed Heads, 808 State...

2013: DJ [insert someone who isn't really a DJ] featuring [insert copyright owner of main sampled loop]

Or am I just gettin old - discuss... 😈

Not sure many bands pushing 60 were ever playing Uni's, were they?

i have one son at university and one son going next year.

they both listen to cocteaus, mbv, pixies, sugarcubes, DM, NO, et al. and the modern stuff they like ain't half bad either - i often find myself taking tips.

i AM getting old.

They should do a magical mystery bus gig. Like that one in 1981 that got cancelled because of the weather . Except don't let it be cancelled , obviously.

outdoor shows only in vegas, santa barbara, san diego, irvine meadows , greek la, shoreline sf, red rocks , and austin sxsw spring 2014

Fair point though I do remember Desmond Dekker playing my Uni Bar in Dublin in the 90's. He was 50-ish then. I suspect the real answer is that anyone who has ever had more than a couple of 'hits' can play larger venues than Uni's now. The less people spend on recorded music, the more they seem to spend on live music. I can just imagine the griping on this board if a bunch of students got first dibs on NO tickets and NOOLERS couldn't get a look in. It would be, "Why are they playing such a small venue? The ebay prices are rediculous" etc.
