Update from the venue Dit concert werd n.a.v. COVID-19 eerder al verplaatst van 31 maart 2020 naar 5 maart 2021. Omwille van de verlengde maatregelen tegen de verspreiding van het COVID-19 Coronavirus dienen we het concert nogmaals uit te stellen. We zoeken momenteel samen met de entourage van de ac...

i'm in

I suspect it is more likely that the band is under some commercial pressure from promoters to put out something new to drum up a little interest.

Based on previous history this has got to be a Near Meth Exp. gig

Usually free entry on a first come basis

Well, today's the day. See you on the other side. Somewhere in France, there's a very nervous person sitting around, desperately trying to remember everything they've learned. No matter how good you are as a guitarist, learning off an entire set from scratch is daunting. And tomorrow we’ll all st...

Drummer leads to Drum Solo - no one wants that !!
Bunch of show ponies the lot of them

I would be very surprised if there was a warm up, unless there's a personel change.

The last time they played Sonisphere they went down well, so its not that surprising that they got invited back.

The organisers have just posted on FB that sisters not available for alt-fest.

Must be far too busy working on that new double album.....

Sisters of Mercy - 2 sets, full Wake set with original line up - even down to the doctor making it out of retirement one last time. Then a 2nd set, with the current line up, previewing the forthcoming album in its entirity.

Yeah, Depeche Mode would work, forgot all about them....

and as for headliners, who's left that would even think twice about a goff/industrial/alt metal festival? Looking at the industrial/EBM acts already announced the only ones I can think of to headline would be NIN, maybe Kraftwork, or stretching it to someone like the Prodigy. Goth stage; apparently...

South America is a odd case for bands, so not sure its a valid comparison to what they could draw in the UK. The Sisters played in South America there a few years back and they were playing gigs to something silly like 10 or 20,000 people. As a regular at Infest and Resistanz you see a lot of the pe...

It seems the kickstarter project has brought in more than double what the alt-fest organisers were originally asking for so I will be interested to see what headline bands they sign up. I do worry a little that there just arn't enough people in the UK to fill this kind of festival. UK industrial fes...

They've done a kickstarter project to raise the initial capital so they could book the headlines.

I'm assuming the smaller bands announced so far were happy to sign up without any financial comitment up front.

probably more the metal stage

I would think any gig that pays the asking price would appeal.

While I congratulate the organisers on trying to organise this, I have to say i'm a little sceptical if this will work. Firstly having this event the week before Infest, the UK's longest running industrial festival, is bad timing. I don't see that many people doing both events so I can see the audie...

Thought the London gig was pretty good. Loved the venue and perhaps the best London venue I've seen them. No surprises in the set list, but the sound was excellent and the band were on top form. After the sonisphere appearance and now this performance I can see the band appearing on the radar of man...

i'm looking for a standing ticket for Dublin has one to sell?

There must be some mistake - Jesus and Mary Chain and the Sisters for £7

I assumed the £27.50 included Bed + Breakfast at the Reptile House!

For those that have not yet picked up tickets for Leeds If you want to avoid paying booking fees from Jumbo or Crash (or booking fee and 'rip off putting it in an envelope with a 1st class stamp' tax from the onlines), you can pick up tickets directly from any O2 Academy box office for £18 face val...

Word is the forthcoming tour of the US and Europe will feature a new setlist including several tunes that haven't been played live in a long while and the possibly a completely new tune or two.

This came from a very reliable source close to the rehearsals so I don't doubt it.

Think £18.00 is being a bit optomistic
