Bristol Rob Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Added to the amphitheatre gigs. New Order on Thursday the 18th July. The Specials on Friday the 19th July. Tickets on sale 1st Feb - and an eye watering fifty quid (less a bit of change) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. Well, not me (Bristol Rob) personally you understand, but the one down the docks by the Lloyds building. I got an email from the Colston Hall this morning with the details.

nebristolred Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Ooh this is tempting. Saw New Order at Glastonbury a couple of years back. In a relatively 'intimate' venue this could be quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And The Specials are half the band they were, but I will probably get tickets for that, however I expect the new album to feature quite strongly in their set.

Some of their stuff is a bit uninspiring but True Faith, Age of Consent, etc are great songs imo. Joy Division are a weird one, they're definitely better because of the mystery surrounding Ian Curtis. The perspective you can put on retrospectively after the death of the singer puts a different twist on them I think. Had it not been for that you might not see so much into the lyrics and they could just be seen as morbid and dull. I do quite like them though I wouldn't blast their tunes out if I wanted a chilled happy, day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54-46 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Very pleased about this New Order are probably my favourite band. Shame it’s not the original lineup but good enough. Saw Peter Hook at the Marble Factory last year who split his set into a Joy Division set followed by a New Order one and that was excellent Hopefully be able to get a ticket but if I don’t and anyone ends up with a spare I’ll happily take it off their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless you are slow out the blocks, I don't think you will have too many problems getting a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Hooky left I have become increasingly sceptical of him flogging the dead horse with The Light, and them morphing into tribute act. That said, have seen him a few times and he always puts on a show, and saw New Order a few weeks ago up in Miami, and they were superb. Plans already bring me to England/Ireland in July, so hope to be in Bristol for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah I do like New Order and would quite like to see the Peter Hook act too, but the main problem is that I find him to be a massive effing bellend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Seen new order at trinity church back in the day. Not a bad band but I ain’t paying £50 to see them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
