Dexys tickets going for £5 now for the City Hall!

Anybody after a couple of bargains for TV Personalities @ Poprecs on Saturday? I've double-booked (again!) and got another gig down Boro.

Got a link mate. I’ll not be going, but my mate was up for it. Just went on the City Hall website & its £41 :eek:

Is this why you've randomly messaged telling us how great they are? Your dastardly plot is revealed

Very good evening - obviously, a bit of a nostalgia show, as a lot of them are at this point. I'd seen them both separately in the past, 2 bands who are always good value, even though it's an odd mix on the face of it.

The coheadline is certainly the new business model over here. Don't know about over there? Probably seen 4-5 over the past year and it's not just the oldies either - Manics / Suede, Charlatans / Ride, Mountain Goats / Hold Steady, Manchester Orchestra / Jimmy Eat World, etc. I know the Furs toured with James a year or two back as well, but I couldn't get to that. I think it's good for the older bands - you tend to get sets crammed with "hits" presumably because each band knows a large proportion of the crowd might be there to see the other band, unlike when they're headlining and have an unknown support band opening (though Squeeze inexplicably lopped off Is That Love last night - one of my faves). Only slight negative is the extra pull it gets them - you do tend to get a few who aren't regular gig goers!
