^^
nottingham. Post exams though, might be doable. Though its probs sold out.
Beach House!
BEACH HOUSE!!!!!!!
I'm hoping this means

i'm looking into it

July 10

keep this page on your favourites

and the 11th clashes with
Animal Collective. Shite.
That first one looks amazing
15 quid a ticket looks like I might be going!
On the RFH website
It says that they're sold out already
SOLD OUT?????
Already?!?!
Ultimate sad face.
WHAT!?
shit...
That's annoying...
Does anyone know if they will be releasing more tickets ???
Hasn't sold out
Just rang the southbank centre and they said tickets haven't even gone on sale yet...
This presents the tricky dilemna
of whether to go to the first one of these or to wait for Beach House to play a headlining show, which they inevitably will while they're over here.
RFH issue refunds
so book a ticket and then get your money back later if needed?
Its still a shit hot line-up anyhow.
Wow
I want to go to both!
gulp
need I say more..?
dont panic!
tickets go on sale tomorrow!! its not sold out yet, just not on sale.
Tickets
are on sale now....
Tickets..again
