Anyone dressing up for the tour?

It seems to be less and less people every year. I remember the first time I saw the Manics in 2004 and there was quite a large bunch of people in home made T-shirts, sailor suits, etc. It was great to see.
I'll probably dig out my awful home made t-shirt that I've worn at all but one of the gigs I've been to, put on a few beady bracelets and bring a blue feather boa Last time I did all this in December 2007 though a group of drunken guys behind me thought it amusing it constantly push into me and jab me in the back every now and then and come out with a few stupid comments, which made me think twice about dressing up a bit but oh well.

Definitely up for wearing my quotes t-shirt, don't think make up will work on me though.

Perhaps a combat jacket.

Might do, but only cause it's Halloween. I'll never go in a feather boa or glitter or any of that stuff.

I just think it's part of the fun of a Manics gig, you know. Normally I'd never go out in such things but you know, it's a Manics gig Might put a load of eye liner on for a giggle but the last time I did in 2007 that I almost blinded myself

If you're going to Lincoln and dressing up and queing, expect A LOT of abuse from backwards old men and hollyoaks-style students who drink WKD and have only a handful of GCSEs between them.

For years I've worn the same pair of black shorts to every Manics gig. It's like some sort of weird tradition now.

The most I'll do clothes-wise is maybe wearing my (work-suitable) leopard print skirt, but I am definitely getting the glitter eyeliner and hairspray out

Obv dressing up. It's always distressing to see how few people dress up for Manics gigs these day.

DO IT!

Same as Sam, really. In for the whole sailor outfit (well, sailor dress/outfit/same thing). Plus leopardprint. Glitter. Lots of it. Pretty things... Leicester I'm still hopelessly undecided on.
