Yeah they do, I just can't see them playing a summer festival now that they are trying to sell tickets for a headline show in October.

I hope I'm wrong, at the gig in Whelans the singer said they were coming back 'in fall' to play the Olympia, no mention of a festival appearance here.

Getting close now, really looking forward to the Olympia on Thursday.

Support acts on the night from Cloud Control and Breton.

Anyone get tickets from Crowdsurge before? Said they were dispatched on 3rd October but still not arrived, waiting on their customer service team to get back to me but not sure how they're going to get tickets to me at this stage!

They'll set them to be collected on the door if they can't get them to you. There was massive problems when Arcade Fire used them and they left it to the last minute as well, they arrived just in time... except no one got them as the entire country was snowed under.

I listened to a few songs, wasnt really my cup of tea. Cloud Control on the other hand seem alright, def gonna go in early for them.

No word of stage times yet.

Great gig last night, prob the best crowd I've been in at the Olympia since the Alt-J gig earlier in the year!

Highlight was everyone singing 'Who Knows Who Cares' before the encore, brilliant stuff

My favourite gig of the year. They seemed genuinely shocked by the warm reception they were getting, i love it when you can tell a band is enjoying themshelves and not just going through the motions.

Cloud Control were quality also, would go see them again.

Was a fantastic gig. Who knows who cares and sun hands really finished the night with a flourish.

I managed to win ticket from then on Twitter despite already having bought tickets! None of my friends were up for it so just sold the pair for a tenner outside

Better than the Whelan's gig as the crowd actually drowned out the band in Whelans in Feb.

Brilliant gig, definitely one of the highlights of the year. First time seeing them too!
