It?s usually someone decent
Courteeners
Gerry Cinnamon
Blossoms

Summat like that

Kasabian, Blossoms, Supergrass Etc in the mix no doubt


Don?t mind where I watch them but getting a ticket will be like gold dust. I gambled on the leaked line up and booked loads of free cancellation hotels on booking.com so got all cities covered, just need a ticket

Looks like they are doing Toronto, US, Mexico City etc too as the list I gambled on had those dates on too and all the Uk ones turned out to be right

Saw something that listed a load of us dates and had Gillette stadium in Boston which id fancy, went to Boston about 10 years ago and loved it. Much preferred it to New York.

I've not seen them since 96 at Knebworth and think it was about ?25 for an all day job with various support acts. Sadly i had to settle for Sunday that meant we got Dreadzone instead of the Prodigy and Kula Shaker with their lead singer completely off his trolley! By all accounts on the Saturday Prodigy were outstanding!


I'm in my 40s so i'm allowed to say it!! Just been to a few gigs recently where the worst ones were those sort of folk. Was at Courteeners at Lytham and even in the "VIP" bit there were folk that age in complete states including more than one passed out on the floor.

Were ocean colour scene not on the saturday at knebworth too? Sadly as the years have gone in support at these large gigs is getting worse, in some cases theres no support at all. Likes of kasabian, paul heaton and courteers on same bill seems a bit too good to be true

They were but not Sunday.

I can see this being a trading war between those that have hotels, those that have gig tickets, and those on both sides wanting both. My 2 regular hotels when I go to Wembley are already both showing no availability for the relevant dates.

The free cancellations for most of these places, or even not having to pay until check-in make it very easy for people to do this. Ideally I'd like to go to Cardiff for the first night but it seems unlikely.

I'm pretty sure I'll be OK for one of them... even more so as my son lives in Wembley!

Seen them both in their solo guise, found the High Flying Birds poor but loved Liams show.
Will certainly try for 4 tickets for Wembley one night.

[Search & Destroy]

Liam was pretty good Sunday night at Reading

Did the Definitely Maybe Album in full

Hour and a half set

Will Oasis be much better?

Thick end of ?1000 with tickets, Friday to Monday accommodation in Edinburgh for 2

[Mr Mercury]

Max of 4 tickets per person but not seen any indication of Wembley pricing yet for either general admission or reserved seating.

?100 + booking fee seems to be the rumoured price. So you?ll be looking about ?120 with insurance.

[Westbars Spireite]

Just registered for the ticket ballot.

Can?t see a ballot on ticket master

[CFC91]

Dublin tickets 87 euro, so assuming similar for UK based it might not be the ?150 I was expecting

Usually about a fiver. Covers you for a full refund if you get stuck in traffic, become ill and unable to attend etc etc

I wouldn?t bother with that especially for an event like this where you can instantly resell them and get your money back.

Had a look at premier inns cardiff this evening, seems they all sold out, suspect it will be hard to get a hotel. Shame, fancied a weekend there

Nice one, both days even the sunday are a sort of festival really, like a britpop version of them donington monsters of rock in the 80s and 90s. Alot of acts really skimp on support now. Oasis in 09 had twisted wheel (missed them) but saw the enemey, not bad at all
