Anyone know why the gigs in Manchester and Glasgow have been cancelled this week?

Party line says illness but they are playing dates around the 2 gigs and the shows were cancelled last week. Do they have a psychic doctor?

I was going to go to Manchester on Wednesday. I finish Uni that day, so I thought best to celebrate by going to listen to songs about University for posh people. :)

Yeah

kinda, I was hoping to get an inside scoop on how they cancelled to go play a TV Chatshow or a private gig for Roman Abramovich. Illness seems an excuse rather than a reason.

That sounds very head mastery. Eek.


The Glasgow and Manchester gigs

were cancelled on the last tour cos of illness. This Manchester one is just postponed.


They're cancalled because...

they think they're too big and clever to bother playing these shows, the bastards.


*Cancelled


Ermmm

This cancelled Glasgow date that you're talking about.... I wouldn't be the one they played at the ABC last night would it?


and they're...

playing leeds on wednesday, not manchester.


ah yes

that one. i can confirm the gig was definitely on, but not that vampire weekend were there as i got thrown out for drinking and being underage LONG before any band took to the stage :(


Ah so was that you who was at the front in the middle?

I saw you and your friend get thrown out, twas a bit of a shame erally

Those security guards were rather eager, I've never seen them actually wander around looking for underage drinkers before!


Apparently I

am just plain stupid and read countless wrong press releases and news stories. Nobody ever said anything about being ill. Vampire Weekend I apologise. :)
