David Gilmour is touring the USA next year…
Hey Seth
Hey Seth, I see the Hum show is listed as "Failure & Hum". Is this a co-headline where both bands play a full set or will Hum be playing an opener-length set? I will be buying tickets regardless, just wondering. Thanks.
^sounds like a better question for FAQ

I didn't even know they were still together. Thanks!

It is a co-headlining gig from all i've seen. That being said, Hum > Failure. If it comes down to an issue of who gets more time, i'm sure Seth will do the right thing. Right?
Surely you can convince Idlewild to add DC to their October tour
I, blame you.
Seth, think you can get Blur to come any closer than this?

I can't fathom they'd need a venue like Verizon in DC…last time they played here was at the 9:30. That's something that would probably fill the new venue going into the SW Waterfront. Or Echostage.

The best Blur shows I saw were with Pulp in 1994, at the Capitol Ballroom in 1996, and then the 9:30 show. That was definitely a special night. And they played a lot of old stuff besides the Think Tank material. They even did "Popscene" and "For Tomorrow".
bearman wrote:Yes they did, Popscene was a total treat. I think they closed the mainset with The Universal (one of my two favorite Blur songs) and the encore with This Is A Low (my other favorite Blur song).Julian, wrote:bearman wrote:One of my top 5 concerts all-time.

I second this opinion! PLEASE :)
I've seen numbers from 2,000 to 6,000 for Echostage's capacity. What is the capacity according to the fire marshal?
