Brixton Academy, London, 15 & 17 October 2012

If these dates are correct I will obviously be at both, but I think It'll be cheaper for me to stay the 15th night, come back to birmingham on the 16th and back down there on the 17th... Mmmm.

I want to go this! Is there seating? I've never heard of the venue.

one of the most famous venues in the world....

Yeah, there's seating in the balcony.

I'll be at both shows (pending tickets of course) - will book the leave on Monday!

Could see them coming back to Manchester Apollo too although Manchester Central (G Mex) did pop into my head when wondering where they might play up here. Think it holds up to 10,000 with a huge standing area.

Think Manchester Apollo is a certainty for the next tour.

I definitely want to do a bit of travelling for this next tour after London worked out okay. Although, Koko was a great distance from the station.

It's awkward for them now in Manchester because the only venues they can go to now are Gmex and the MEN. So yeah, probably Apollo again. Hopefully they'll come to Liverpool this time too. I think they're a bit too big for the Academy but they could easily do Mountford Hall.

Koko was right beside the station Unless you mean getting back into London.

Can't see them playing the GMEX or MCR, if they are doing a whole UK tour, then Apollo will be fine for them.

I meant great as in good if you get me. I probably should've used a different word. But yeah, that was really easy to get to and from but Brixton is a lot further away from Euston.

Brixton is simple and quick to get to Euston via train by as well, it's only about 10-15 minutes with no changes.

I don't remember any problems getting to/from Brixton last time though its an interesting neighbourhood!

I watched Ghana vs USA in a local pub (it was during the World Cup). Safe to say I was sticking up for Ghana with the locals!

We were there the night before Koko for Cory Branan/Jon Snodgrass, when the taxi drivers haven't heard of the venue, that's when you know you're in for fun times

A gig in Liverpool would be ideal for me but I can't see it. As others have said I would say the Manchester Apollo is most likely.

I don't see why they shouldn't. I think the promoter at the Academy is a fan and has tried to get them before but to no avail. Apparently Mountford Hall is just over 2000 capacity which I think is a perfect size. It'd be ideal for me too.

I'd just love an excuse for get back to Liverpool, the Olympia would fit as well for them.

Could see them doing both Liverpool and Manchester to fulfill the NW demand.

Either great for me

Newcastle would be a handy venue as well, few good spots up there.

Shows in Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle would make me very happy.

Any idea when the tour dates are likely to be announced?

Most are released on a Monday or Tuesday in time for the o2 presales etc. Bloc Party have just announced a tour in mid October so if Gaslight are touring the same time it should be very soon.

Good point! Hopefully be on sale next Thursday/Friday just in time for payday!

Wouldn't give them much time to release the fan club details.

Well I assume it'll be all announced together. Brian did say it's coming 'real soon' but then again he said that for 45. With loads of bands announcing their tours for this time period it can't be long.

From the Gaslight Anthem Facebook:

UK, new tour announcement coming very soon. Sign up to our mailing list to hear about it first and get first access to presale tickets. Spread the word! http://bit.ly/MN38oQ

About time!

Yes! Can't wait, Bring It On!
