Loads of bands actually. Kings Of Leon in 2008 off the top of my head, but I could list countless more.

As for the manics.. whoever makes these decisions must have a good idea of sales etc. I very much doubt they'd consider arenas if only a couple thousand were interested. I don't think they'll sell them out completely but they'll sell more than enough for it not to be embarrassing. I hope

I dont know if I should make this public, but I absolutely LOVE A-Ha!!! There I said it... now shoot me down!!!!

Well I did say I don't follow them

But still, we've already had one tour for PFAYM, plus all the other dates I mentioned in my post. And just because A-ha did it, it doesn't really prove anything about the Manics, seen as they're two completely different bands with different followings.

indeed.. i shall eat my a-ha baseball hat if it all fails

I was just basing my opinion on the top 3 albums. Bands that sell that many tend to sell arenas quite well..but yea not everyone does two lots of dates

oh and i have to confess on not reading the rest of yr post.. i saw the words novelty and act and thought how VERY DARE YOU

What, Know your Enemy, Lipstick Traces, Lifeblood, Send Away the Tigers, Journal for Plague Lovers, Forever Delayed and the 2 solos?

I don't want a mega large arena tour!

I like the academies and small venues!!!!
