U2 and Franz Ferdinand

Without wishing to turn this forum into yet another U2 one - I'm so excited, have just secured 4 GAs to U2 in Wembly on 14 August.  Looks like we have Elbow in support, am hoping Snow Patrol will be there too or the Kaisers.

Thought I'd add FF to get a bit of variety in here - I heard their new single this morning for the first time, impressed.

How many acts will play on the day?  Maybe the Rats could support them.

No You Girls is Franz at their best; in at 52 in charts just on downloads - not released yet.  The new album takes a little getting into but is very good.  The remix album Blood is even better.

Been a few good singles this year (White Lies, U2, Lily Allen, Morrissey, Starsailor, Oasis).

I'm not sure how many acts there will be before U2 come on.  Last time there were 2.  White Lies would be fantastic.  I have their album, superb - essence of Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Joy Division etc

Might get the FF album yet...

Now that would be brilliant!!!!! biggrin I'm going to the gig in Croke Park on July 25th. The Kaiserchiefs are supporting. There is no mention as yet of any more support & it stated gates open at 6.30pm so doesn't leave time at present. Could change & I hope it does. Glasvegas are supporting on the Friday show confused.gif Anyone ever heard of them confused.gif

Wembley has 1700 as gates open time, so there must be more than one act first?  Not heard of Glasvegas - maybe do a google search on them?  You are lucky to have the Kaisers, I really hope I get them too.

Apparently not that great live.  I think the singer sounds just like Julian Cope/

If you still have a turntable, I'd recommend the vinyl edition. 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tonight-Franz-Ferdinand-Vinyl/dp/B001IUP9PM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1237456742&sr=1-1

You can get it for less than £10 at amazon, and it comes in a great gatefold sleeve, and also the mixes of the tracks are slightly different.

They are from Glasgow, but ain't my cup of tea.  Flowers & Football Tops is their latest single, but they did a Christmas ep, A Snowflake Fell that was OK.  You can check them on on we7 or spotify.
