Suede co-headline tour WARNING
The Manics are on first and it appears 25 mins after doors. I missed their entire fucking gig in Dublin last night because for some reason, the band nobody has heard of since 1996 was on last. Fucking shitshow. What a way to alienate fans. And no, the promoter nor Ticketmaster made ANY reference to stage times.
EDIT: It's not my responsibility to check a band forum or their Instagram to find out information the promoter and Ticketmaster were legally obliged to tell me. EDIT: 25 minutes after doors is insane, nobody seemed to mention that. Last edited by leopheard; 05-07-2024 at 20:25. Reason: Idiots |

To be fair, if you have looked at any communication from either band or FD you should be well aware of who was on first and that it was being rotated.
Sorry you missed the gig but it sounds like your fault. |

Yes, sorry to hear you missed them but it's been well publicised for a while now. I'm not going to any of the gigs and had seen it mentioned here and the official FB amongst other places several times. It's a pretty standard set up for co-headline tours too.

Yeah as other posters have said above the order of who was playing first/second was announced as part of the tour announcement and posted on articles etc promoting the tour and also in the Manics mailing list email - here's an example from NME's website posted when the tour was announced on November 27th 2023: https://www.nme.com/news/music/manic...ickets-3549456

It's disappointing to see so much Torying here.
The established standard for events is that essential info is provided by promoter or seller at the point of sale, or by means of direct communication before the gig. The other established standard is that the headline act goes on second. There's nothing on the Manics tour page, any of the ticket seller sites, or (speaking at least for Ticketmaster) the concert information to suggest that Manics play the opening set on some nights. There's information about what clothing to wear with it being an outdoor event, but nothing about the 'headliner' playing the support slot. Blaming people for not reading about this on Facebook / Twitter / NME / their local planning department in Alpha Centuri is wank. The onus on providing this info directly to ticket buyers was on the Manics' team. |

Have to say I found it hilarious complaining about a band apparently not relevant since the 90's taking stage priority over the Manic Street Preachers, the band who've created every musical trend of the last 25 years and whose prominence in the music scene is so immense that even Talyor moved up her Dublin tour dates so not to clash with them.

I have been going to gigs since probably before you were born and I have never seen anything as poorly organized as this. I even have tickets that say on them 'no support' or 'early show' to give people a clue. Maybe rather than just being oppositional for no reason and sticking up for "your" band, just admit that they fucked up. Also, it's fucking weird that you actually took the time to look at my profile for ammo to support your band. Get a fucking life. Last edited by leopheard; 05-07-2024 at 20:24. |

I'm a rare visitor to these pages and having seen the two bands were touring, and an hour from home, I would have gone to see them regardless of which way around they played. Bought the Cardiff tickets, and a 5 minute scoot around online told me Manics were second which was great. Didn't need to be on here "constantly" either to find the info. Any sympathy for the OP (and I genuinely do have sympathy) is tempered by them blaming everyone but themselves for the mistake and then having a go at Suede for having the temerity for being, well, Suede! Great show last night by the way. Left Bristol at 3.30pm, arrived at Cardiff 5.30pm, soaked to the skin from 6pm till halfway through Suede's set and then the boys smashed it. Back home at 12.30am but worth every drop of rain and aching bone to see them.

Sorry you missed the set, I have to say though I thought it was well publicised the times and orders of each gig, it was the basis on which gig I bought tickets for.....

Fuck, I went to a gig in Liverpool once, got there around 20:00, to only find that the main band weren't on til midnight. It's an unreasonable change last minute yes, but at least I was able to still see them because it wasn't an earlier start instead of a later one. And no, the reason why you've not heard of this is because all but like 2 of these gigs are the MSP on last. Unfortunately, one of these 2 was the Dublin gig. |
