Tickets available from all the normal places, it seems as if most of these shows go on sale sometime next week. Predictably, given how tight the scheduling is, there are a lot of clashes. Personally for me the pick of the bunch is the Givers/Portugal. The Man show, as it includes two acts I would happily pay full price to see, plus a fantastic support act in the form of Guineafowl. But M83 at the Prince is also a very hard possibility to pass up. It’s going to be one hell of a fortnight.
Yuck, Horrors and The Drums all on the same night. Sigh.
