New My Bloody Valentine album due out this year!

Didn't see an option for pick-up.

Well shit.

Wonder if I can get that changed.

Guess I need to make a call.

Did anyone see Mr. Shields with Primal Scream at the 9:30 club about seven years ago? When the were touring "XTRMNTR?" Mr. Shields and Mr. Gillespie kept leaving the stage every fifteen minutes for what I can assume were Winehouse refreshments.

I saw that recent interview and I'm glad he's shed a few pounds. He was a large boy back in 2000.

where you at that show, brian?

This damn ticketing system keeps fucking up my address.


I sent their support dept an email but haven't heard back. Probably because it's a weekend.


I definitely need to have the ticket left at will-call.

Was your confimation email addressed to a Mr. McCartney?

Haha no not that bad.

The postal code is a mess, though.

None of my European friends from Sweden to Estonia had a problem getting tickets other than the first round sell out. Then our insider friend let us know to be on some other website by a given time for tickets to new shows to be released. Again, none of the Europeans had problems.

It was once you crossed the Atlantic where the problems hit. Some got tickets while others got very strange problems. A couple of them got confirmation letters addressed to a Mr. McCartney, neither of which have that name. The weirdest one was when one friend got shut out of the first London show so tried again. Still no luck. Then he gets this email addressed to a Mr. McCartney confirming his tickets to the Manchester show of which he did not try for nor can he attend.

As much as I would love to see the London show, I am glad that I am not involved in this mess. I'll just wait for Stateside.

I have no idea as to where Epstein found a will-call option. I pulled up the 2nd night of Manchester on friday night to make sure I didn't miss it and couldn't find anything.

Oh now I see…Ticketmaster had them too? I see a will-call option there and am tempted to grab one for the 29th now.

Cheapest ticket to/from London that I could find was $817 out of NYC through Air India.


A heads-up on anything cheaper would be much appreciated. Thanks.

BMI flys out of Dulles for $838. I've flown with them between London and Dublin…decent airline.

Personally, I'd drop the extra $100 or so and fly Virgin Atlantic.

Wonder if it'd be cheaper to fly into Amsterdam and catch a train to Manchester from there.


I know Amsterdam is typically a cheaper ticket from here than London.

More news:

Legendary alternative act My Bloody Valentine plans to "do a Radiohead" when the Anglo-Irish quartet finally releases the follow-up to 1991's classic "Loveless,"
Billboard can reveal.

"At the moment, all I can say is that Kevin is getting the band back together and they will go into the studio next month to work on the new record," says
MBV's London-based manager Vinita Joshi, referring to notoriously reclusive singer/guitarist and bandleader Kevin Shields. "The plan is that they will
release the album themselves via the Internet, but there will also probably be a vinyl release."

Joshi adds that the band is unlikely to follow Radiohead's pay-what-you-like download model for its new recordings.

In the meantime, demand for the band's 2008 U.K. tour, its first since 1992, has proved strong. The initial three dates sold out after just six minutes
on Nov. 16, causing four additional shows to be added. The dates, promoted by All Tomorrow's Parties, kick off with three shows at the 2,000-capacity Roundhouse
in London starting June 20, with all four members of the "Loveless" lineup – Shields, singer/guitarist Bilinda Butcher, bassist Debbie Googe and drummer
Colm O'Ciosoig – involved.


Joshi denied reports that MBV is planning to appear at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, in late April. "If the band had been booked
to play any summer festivals, I'd know about it," Joshi says. "We'll see how the summer shows go first."

Spc-Eco are fantastic..might as well be the new curve

people who are having trouble sorting out your tickets, if you put in an international address you should just be able to pick them up at the roundhouse the day of. (which by the way is a really nice venue!)
and the last time i had family come to visit me here they flew iceland air and i think they said it wasnt too expensive!

Unfortunately couldn't get roundhouse tickets and had to settle for Apollo.

This trip just got much more interesting.


Radiohead's europe tour is coinciding with the MBV dates.


I think it'll be possible to hit radiohead in manchester, see the 2 MBV shows then radiohead in amsterdam and fly out of there.
