[ray]

I just got this bulletin on myspace:

"We're very pleased and excited to announce we'll be the main support to the Stereophonics on their December UK arena tour.
The tour begins on December 2nd in Scotland with two dates at Glasgow SECC, followed by Aberdeen AECC, a double header at Cardiff International Arena then onto more massive shows including Manchester MEN Arena, Liverpool Echo Arena, and a grand finale at London's O2 Arena just before Christmas.

It'd be great to see you all down at these shows. Tickets are on sale now.

haha that will be mega...seeing them at the men!Bit less personal tho...may get tickets if I can afford it as saw the phonics at V and they were really great

[Fergal]

Class, I saw them at Empress Ballroom last year, mint gig it was

[mc18988]

Id like to go but Ive bought loads of tickets for gigs this year and 32 quid for phonics is a bit much for me even with courteeners supporting (which would be a shorter set anyway)

[fastfuse]

There f**k**g awful!!

"HAS BEEN'S SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO TOUR WITH GONNA BE'S"

Handbags and Gladrags........Rubbish!!

They should have told em to f**k off. Kelly Jones the midget, I've never seen anyone look so stupid when strapped to a guitar!!

When was the last time Stereophonics or a Song was mentioned on this forum??


BUT at least it gives the lads a chance to play bigger gigs. It would be funny if everyone fucked off at Manchester after they had been on!!!

That's not even one of their own songs, it's a cover
I like them. Though I have not heard their newest album yet. Or maybe once. Didn't really like it. The older albums are great.

[mc18988]

Stereophonics are good and its a great opportunity for the lads, but I think phonics have had their time and if I did go it would mainly be to see The Courteeners, I can't see them selling out but im probably wrong

Word Gets Around is a great album but after that they kinda lost it a bit in terms of albums...they had some superb singles though

Was thinking of going to the london gig, but the standing tickets are sold out...

[antoine010891]

That's how bad they are, they're most well known song is a cover of Rod Stewart, how embarrasing. I think the only reason that the tour would sell out would be because of the lads supporting.

[Fergal]

Nah no way man, they sold out an arena tour earlier this year without the help of The Courteeners. Both Stereophonics and Courteeners are great bands...just the latter are a lot better.
Stereophonics are fair close to sellling out the arena tour already aint they? Massive band

[amber]

They sure are, amazing live as well.

[kokainekinney]

should be good for courteeners, earn some new virgin radio listening fans! stereophonics are a very easy listening band, thats why they are popular, appeal to a lot of people. might go, big prices tho!!

[cal]

MEN i think.

me mates had tix for a while. might tag along

[fac25]

I think a big well done is deserved for whoever sorted this out,

The idea behind supporting a band like this is to win new fans, i think the majority of Stereophonics fans at the moment probably arnt up with the new music scene,(I mean their wayne rooneys favourite band) and probably havnt heard too much of the courteeners so its a brilliant slot to be doing considering the size of the venues.

and just for the record , the first two sterephonics albums are blinding and the fact that they'll probably get to meet Wayne Rooney may have swung the lads decision
