Ten years since Funeral was released. Ten years! It feels like it's been with us longer than that. What an album. http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/09/mural-for-10th-anniversary-of-arcade-fires-funeral-appears-in-brooklyn/

Just seen this HT - shame it's not a weekend gig in Berlin... Looking at their tour dates, they would appear to be playing in Dublin the night before San Francisco. They'll be on their knees! I'll look out for a tux for you in the charity shops of St.James Street and George Street :wink:

Excellent news! If you're like me, then part of the relief is that at least you will get some sleep tonight! :)

It's good to know O2 customers. 4 tickets secured this morning. :)

My attitude is more Roger than George. F*** off.

I will be wearing a George Melly style 4-buttoned, thick-pin-striped suit, possible with a pink cravatte. And brogues, spats in fact.

Please text me if you hear about any pre-sale - I missed Arctic Monkeys pre-sale for Finsbury Park today as I can't get the time to check NSC or Facebook during the day. Cheers HT.

I would imagine that if (when) tickets prove to be incredibly popular they will announce a second date, a bit like Arctic Monkeys did at the same venue.

Earls Court. June 6th.

:annoyed: You lucky, lucky sod. Looking forward to hearing about it, see you soon.

Superb, even with the sound recording not being up to much. Shivers up the spine. Herr Tubthumper is SO lucky to have nabbed tickets for this tour. Has anyone else got some?

He'll love them. £15 well spent.

These were the questions that initially came to mind, but I couldn't be bothered to ask. He appears to have made up his mind.

An interesting opinion. Wrong, but interesting.

I also envy Dale. Make sure that you don't move on to Neon Bible until you've given Funeral at least a month of pretty solid listening. All their albums get better the more you hear them, and you wouldn't want to muddy the waters, so to speak.

Definitely. One of those enormously popular bands that seem to have passed others by completely for some unfathomable reason. I notice that Arctic Monkeys are playing a couple of Finsbury Park gigs. Could Arcade Fire do this too? I love all their albums, but the brilliance of Reflektor is...

You are in for a treat. Start where they did, with Funeral, a quite superb debut.

It's mine too, and there's been some competition. I'm finding it hard to listen to anything else now. Posting at 3.30am, then up this morning to get tickets...did you go to bed last night?

Also Afterlife.
