I'm so torn and don't know what to do. Literally was a few days ago reminiscing on the last time I saw them which was FOURTEEN years ago, they've only been here I think once since and it was about 7 years ago at a festival, and that first time I saw them was at a festival and I loved it but the experience was fucking awful. But tickets are €84 minimum + booking fees so €100, it's a joke. But man it's been so long. I haven't really listened to their last album but still listen to Is This It and Room On Fire regularly, and I still have love for FIOE and Angles (and Comedown Machine a little). Not sure what to do. FUCK I hate the pricing of gigs these days.
Amen to all that, but I'm a hypocrite because I got a ticket. I've got so few gigs on in 2026 this is now my next gig. This combined with the fact I've never seen them (and loved the previous album) and I think some people I know are going I decided to go. Bank isn't thanking me at the minute.

I'm a hypocrite too as I'm going as well apparently.
Ordered tickets to see De Staat and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats for November so my gig calendar is picking back up. Combined with The Strokes it's 3 new venues as well so I'm happy with that. I'm debating getting a resale face value ticket to see Pixies. I'm not hugely familiar with the discography but they feel like a band I should see at some point.
