""Give It A Name""

Right, I'm starting this thread because, as far as I know, nobody has started a thread about this gig yet, and it deserves one.

On May 2nd at London's Alexandra Palace, a gig whose line-up goes thus far...

Funeral For A Friend
Coheed and Cambria
Finch
Rise Against
Alexisonfire
Lucky Nine
Fightstar
Plus further acts to be confirmed! (fairly sure Emanuel are one of these)


...will occur. It starts about 2pm (check with Emitime, he knows all the details) and being an 'all-dayer' means it should be until late evening, giving us about 9-10 hours of carnage. Nice.

Any info you want or links to tickets (which are £25, not bad for 9 hours?) then this is probably the best place to go...

Anyone likely to join us?

EDIT: A few sites are out of tickets for the gig, but I'm sure you can pick 'em up somewhere (ebay perhaps, if desperate, which you may well be with a line-up like this)

So hate the lead guitarist and lead vocalist, but the drummer drums a good ratta-tat-tat?

You just want to see him pretend to be cool by namechecking Mr Fight Club writer.

Would like to see Rise Against. Possibly Finch too, but maybe not, they haven't released anything new since the last two times I saw 'em...

No one else on there that I care about.

Might go to Deconstruction this year. They have Strike Anywhere. And BoySetsFire I think... And Capdown! :D

if i can scrounge the cash then i'll prolly bring a carload up.
sounds pretty good for the most part.

You should just sart singing 'Crashed the wedding' or some other busted song. That would be far better.

Him. Yes. The rest of the band are OK.

You're all going to throw things at the one who was in Busted, right?

Idlewild on April 23rd, for me. Then Futureheads on May 9th. Then Leeds festival whenever.

The fact that Funeral for a friend are headlining anything wsorries me. The fact that people want to go to something headlined by FFAF worries me more.

Fair enough, if there are other decent bands on, but I think there should be a walk-out before FFAF go on stage.

Oh and it's starting at 1 now... They lied to me... :(

Oh noes. But there are good bands playing aswell, such as Rise Against and Alexisonfire (and maybe Finch).

33 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes and 21 seconds to go... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sounds awful. A truly dire evening is in store.

I'm off to see Idlewild in Leeds next month, and REM in June. Good gigs. Not stupid NME-loved posturing fools like Funeral For A Friend and Charlie "I'm serious now look at me hit the strings hard" Fightstar.
