Well, considering it will be a playback performance, there's no need for mark to be there.... :) :)

Wrong! Mark will press the play button on the cd player while the rest of 'em kick back and sip cocktails

kim's hands might fall off without mark.

i can't wait too see them play Kissability!, Kim will rock that!

me shaking w/ excitement over here, makes me forget the prospect of 2 months of gruelling exams to come. but enough of that!
it will be the pinnacle of experiences. it will definately be interesting to meet up with the complete uk wing of this board, we should get some sort of meeting place, maybe a cafe/bar in camden or something? this could be a huge sonic party, perhaps meet up afterwards on a mad sonic high etc etc etc. seriously, meeting this many mad sonic devotees will be a crazy experience for me (lil island, only sonic me). gotta make it last!
i've been listening to the album non stop today to prepare!
insane.

Rather strangely, the Roundhouse website has tickets on sale for the (previously sold out) Friday show again.

HELL YEAH IT DOES!!!

I smell OVERBOOKING....get there early, you lucky fellas...

I would assume they will not be playing EP, unless on the Sunday. They are also playing London on the Saturday night, so unless they hop over for the Sunday afternoon...which would be cool...

However, it does pose a real problem. I would undoubtedly be going to EP this year, and it pains me to miss even one night (the first night's insanity is often the best!) but I think I could sacrifice it for SY.

Ho-hum, the trials and tribulations of fan-dom!


cbeattie

Im going to both of them, im paranoid this will be a farewell gig..?

don't say that, don't even think it!, we will have to hang out at both shows!

Nah it can't be a farewell gig. Thurston was already talking about 'recording some new tunes' this fall in that interview with watt.

yes recording new tunes not playing more gigs. and yeah we should meet up in camden go for a sonic pint.

I thought I was so fucked after seeing the first night had sold out. Checked back the next day tho and, EXTRA DATE ADDED! I was so relieved, snapped up a couple of 'em then and there.

Gonna be my first Sonic gig as well. I reckon its a pretty good place to start haha

sooo cant wait

imagine all us boardies in a pub!

YAY h8kurdt is buying his ticket for the friday show RIGHT NOW!!!!!

haha --madness.
can you imagine the conversation?
-so... what are you doing this weekend?
- i think i might go and accidentaly insult a dwarf...

1 Ticket in the bag!

Yes he's back the guy who no one remembers. How you doin?

just bought mine.

for the friday or saturday?

friday

YAY, i get to meet you!!!!!

which date is everyone else going too?

the friday

How come people are saying the Friday is sold out? I freaked out because my friends had already bought their tickets for Friday so I was left to go on my own but they're still selling standing tickets on the roundhouse website...

Double-plus groovy! I got some tickets for the saturday show.

Friday was definitely sold out at one stage on the Roundhouse site. I'm guessing some people have swapped for Saturday tickets or something.
I already booked my flight to come home on Saturday afternoon, or else I would have gone to both.
Oh well, its not like the setlist will be any different!

You never know man, if they're doing other songs too I imagine they might change them, but hell, Daydream Nation set will be awesome.

that's cool.
so hopefully we meet again.

Hey, mysterious man!

I have two tickets for the friday show too. I will dress conspicuously.

and what about the ATP - DONT LOOK BACK STAGE OF PRIMAVERASOUND FESTIVAL IN BARCELONA?
SLINT performing SPIDERLAND »
COMETS ON FIRE PERFORMING BLUE CATHEDRAL
MELVINS PERFORMING HOUDINI

and Sonic Youth performing daydream nation?

This is nonsense. At ATP you were wearing an Einsteurzende jacket, which was officially the coolest item of clothing I saw all weekend that wasn't worn by me.

both nights, gonna meet some boardies

Hello, how many are going now?

I'll be moving moving to liverpool so you should show me inner world!:)

Daydream Nation
 

Not 100% confirmed yet, but I think we are going to see that in Spain also, and earlier than in UK.

Crossing fingers!!!!

It's odd that if you try to book through agents, it says "sold out", but the Roundhouse box office still have some left. I bought 2 tickets today. Oh, and "FUCK YES!!!"

That is all.

yeas there has been many different stories about the outlets and box office differences..?

Well basically they put another date on and, *at the moment*, the Roundhouse box office website (the venue's) will let you buy standing tickets for the Friday show OR standing/seated tickets for the Saturday show. I bought mine at lunch time but they're still listed as available...

Give it a whirl.

EDIT: Friday is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT.

EDIT #2: I got my order confirmation for Saturday's tickets through okay; £52 for two. Apparently I'll have them in a week.

They fucking skipped it? I'm practically GOING for that first outro. I doubt it this time in any case; why perform your "magnum opus" in full only to bastardise some of the more elongated passages? They know it'd piss people off.

Must be at least 10 boardies going on friday night.

Me, Screamingskull, SonicL, No Star, Jon Boy, Greenlight, You, etc..
