Manchester Academy has the gig in Academy 2 not 1 as stated on The Wildhearts website.Still,at least there's room for an upgrade.I really hope it is in Academy 1 as they serve a more than acceptable pint of Guinness in there!

*grin*

Aye, but the new-improved-refurbished Academy 1 will allegedly have a silly capacity of around 3000, so.. that's probably unlikely. Still, their gigs in Academy 2 are always great..

3000??!!!

Bloody Hell,that's some re-furb! How can it nearly double in size? There's nowhere for it to go unless they extend it into the carpark.
Academy 1 was the venue where I saw The Wildhearts for the first time,supporting Alice In Chains.Showing my age now :oops:

Anyway,whatever Academy they play,I'm there!

Gah, you're just trying to make me jealous, aren't you? Would've quite liked to have gone to that gig.. *mumble*

And yeah, last I heard they were aiming to rival the Apollo. Fine with me, cos the Apollo is a pain in the arse to get to without driving.

I noticed that when I bought my ticket

Daft thing is though, I've just had my Academy Update email from them and that advertises it as the 18th!!

Let's hope the ticket is printed correctly when it arrives!!!

I don't mind the Apollo,it's staggering distance from Piccadilly! The last time I was at a gig at the Apollo was Motley Crue,notable only for the soundman playing 'Nothing Ever Changes' through the P.A. before Crue came on!

The first time I saw them was supporting Alice in Chains too, but at the Barras!
Some gig that was!!

Just bought my tickets for Newcastle!

I spent a whole whack of time convincing her to let me go to Wolves, now I've just won the Newcastle battle...

I think it's probably most sensible to just buy the Glasgow tickets and tell her after at this stage...

by **markE** » 26th Jul 07, 11:15

ooh no . don't do that. i bought tickets for kokos earlier in the year- only to find the missus couldn't go. cue much stress until i managed to drag a poor wildhearts virgin along instead and took the missus to milton keynes.

Yup, good logic. Glasgow's tempting me, but my bank balance says otherwise..

Though my boyfriend specifically asked to tag along to the Manc gig as well as Wolv, despite the fact that the gigs are 2 days apart. The new album seems to have gained them more fans, it seems. *boggle*

by **Velvet Presley** » 26th Jul 07, 11:21

To be honest Mrs Presley isn't a huge fan, and saying that she'd come along to Wolves and Newcastle is pretty good going anyway - I think I'd be pushing my luck a bit with a third one...

Think time will tell!

Just orderd my one ticket for Manchester (yes ONE ticket as I have no one to go with yet again

)
Lets hope its half as good as May and I'll be the loner with the psyco smil in the corner :wink:

So can some one actually fully confirm wether its the Academy 1 or Academy 2 yet?
Wouldnt mind seeing them in a bigger venue like the upgraded Academy 1 but then again, I kinda prefair the smaller venues cos the shows feel more personal and the vibe is more like a group of actual fans getting rather than a mixture of fans and curious parties.
Oh well I know ill enjoy the show wherever it is, especially cos an airing of "Bi-Polar Baby" has gotta be a dead cert, right?
