I'd unfortunately suggest quite low. Less than a month till the first date, I can't remember the Manics ever doing such a short notice gig. I suspect by this point of their career they're quite happy to turn up with a few rehearsals and perform knowing the muscle memory will kick in.

Yeah, agreed. Wouldn't mind if they did try it though here in Vancouver! Suede did just recently play a small show under a fake name.

Suede have done plenty of shows lately, although that is for promoting their new album.

The ticket sales aren’t too good sadly. Vancouver moved, wouldn’t surprise me if there are others.

Hardly surprising, sadly.

Not surprised given standard tickets are double the price they were for the 2015 tour (and then dynamic pricing for a few of them), in venues again mostly double the size of the last tour and quite a few seated gigs too (I'm pushing 40 and an old soul the best of times but I'm nowhere near ready for all-seated gigs). Maybe the promotor just misjudged the draw of 2 bands that have cult status at home let alone in North America. I'm sure they'll be great gigs anyway and always stoked for the NA fans to get their once a decade turn and hope everyone has an amazing time!

I saw a Suede fan trying to sell on tickets they'd bought at 'face value'... $750 for a pair! Even before the GBP:USD exchange rate crashed that would have been ridiculously priced.

I'll be fast asleep in the morning around 4.30 when it starts at Anaheim tonight at 8.30.
No idea what I'll wake up to but I'll will them on in my dreams. Two weeks time and the tour finishes back in Canada on the 24th.
And aside from forum posts here and reviews I've no idea how these gigs are being received!

Slash n Burn in for the first time this tour. Slowly working through the available singles... still got my fingers crossed for the Love of Richard Nixon at some point.

Starting to relax opening with YSTSFMH and having ME 5th place in their last set. Every other day this week they seem to be playing.

Seeing the Manics tomorrow and would love tracks to hear from the HB, JFPL and particularly UVL but it looks like I'll be out of luck. Still, I know they'll be great whatever they choose to play.

Yes, you are definitely out of luck. But I am sure you will have a great time nonetheless.

What's that? They've dropped the random cover song slot and put From Despair to Where in the set instead? Yeah, I'll take that.

2 for 1 tickets for the final couple of shows. Sad these bands aren't filling these venues.
