Bloody excited.

Tickets already on sale if you click on on the buy tickets link in the Live section on the Elbow website.

Is anyone from here going?
My friend in Oz is trying to persuade me to come over but it's just that little bit too far, even for a looney like me!

Might be going to Melbourne if there's space on the flights. Go on Jones, you know you wanna

Dang you, Mr Pixie!!!
Of course I wanna, wanna, wanna!
Just don't have the time...

I know what you mean. I've only got the time off because I couldn't get leave for the holiday we were planning at the end of May.

Hope you can find a way around it. The weather has got to be better there...surely!!!

You really going?
I hate you. Well, not really but still...dang!

Seeing the Elboys at the V Festival and the Corner House but going a week early to watch Lewis in his first race as World Champion. As an added bonus, The Who are playing a free gig afterwards. Please don't hate us...JOIN US!

I've got my ticket, yay.

Just seen that The Human League, Madness and Razorlight have been added to the V festival line-up.

Never thought I'd see the day that Elbow would be such a hot ticket downunder... ridiculous prices for tickets... Melbourne ticket cost $60 by the way

It's still cheaper than flying to the other side of the world to see them!
Grab the chance while you can!

Oh, I bought my ticket already for the standard price! Their first show here cost $40, as did their second one. First show was at a 900 person capacity venue, not sold out, the second one I'm not sure of the capacity, but it was sold out (their first sell out aussie show).

Just wondering if anyone knows if Richard Hawley is making the trip for the Australia tour - would be amazing if he is...fantastic part of the set when he appears from the wings!

I'm an exiled Mancunian - well Lancastrian really but went to school in Bury and lived in Didsbury - and am living out in Brisbane at the moment. Going to V fest on the Gold Coast and taking my girlfiend to the Tivoli gig in Brisbane on the Tuesday after - wondering if anyone else on the board is making it to the Brisbane show?

And my speech is just a gas leak..............

Hi Kenny and welcome. I live in Didsbury at the moment!

If what Richard said at Wembley is true, then that was the last performance of RH and Elbow, so I doubt he will be in Oz. He tends to stay close to home a lot, I think.

He said at Wembley that it'd probably be his last ever show with the band so I guess that rules him out.

Be sure to come back and give us a report.

It's not gonna be his last ever, but definitely for a very long time, as he's in the middle of his album at the moment, so he'll need to promote that once he's finished. He said that he's loved this past year with them. There's no way he'll be able to keep himself away (My girlfriend's on his forum )

It better not be his last anyway, as he's not been at either of the gigs that i've been at, and i'd love to see it Oh, and most of you'll love this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjSTFHskKkg (Richard Hawley and Guy Garvey singing Coles Corner )

May have already seen it, but if you've not, it's so gooooooooood!

Haha, I was at that Grant and they were only about 3 feet away!

Anyway , I hardly think Hawley would be flying all the way out there just to do one song with the boys and I haven't heard of him doing any shows over there by himself...

OMG!!!! YOU LUCKY PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's definitely not going to australia. he may after he's finished and then promoted his next album, possibly not, but hopefully

Good news that Elbow are on for 1hr15mins and don't clash with anyone else I want to see. Shame that they're on before sunset and that I've got to decide between The Killers or The Human League

Oh, it has to be The Killers!
Saw them here just recently and they are just fab! I defy you not to dance!!!
I am soooo jealous! Enjoy you two!!!

Listened to both Snow Patrol's and The Killer's new albums on the in-flight entertainment and I'm more undecided than ever! The Who were fantastic last night as was the GP result. Happen to be staying in a hotel next to a place called Elbowroom. How weird is that? Looking forward to seeing the Elboys in a couple of days.

Can you catch a bit of both???
For me as a long-term Snow Patrol fan, I would choose The Patrol.
However having just recently seen The Killers I think I would recommend them to you; loads of energy and like I said you won't be able to stand still!
Elbowroom eh? Woooohhhh (makes scary ghostly noise) Very Twilight Zone!
