Fever Ray European Tour 19th February - 6th April

bodhrandude

Fever Ray have announced a brief European tour for early Spring, there is a gap of tens days between their Manchester gig on 21st March and the next one in Lund, Sweden 31st March, so would they do a standalone in Dublin, what venue would be suitable for the group, Vicar St or The Olympia or perhaps a bigger venue. Perhaps they will do some more gigs in the summer, would be nice if they cropped up at Body & Soul festival or Electric Picnic.

Electric Nitwit

I felt the tour announcement had a sense of being final but I'd love it if you were right about the gap after the UK. Saw them at the first album, ages ago now, and it was like nothing else I've ever seen!

I've a feeling she might be leaving us out. I've seen her play a couple of times, great show. Was really packed out in the tent at Electric Picnic though. Think I remember her being on late on a very rainy Sunday night.

I'd imagine she'll do the festival circuit later in the summer. That was the pattern after the first album. We saw her in London in the spring (still one of the best shows I've ever seen) and then she appeared later on that year at Electric Picnic. Seeing her on a wet Sunday night in a tent paled somewhat in comparison to the Royal Festival Hall.

Effects

She played Oxegen the year the album came out, 2009, and Electric Picnic the following year. The Oxegen gig was great as it was in the dance hanger and the crowd was pretty small. Plenty of knackers annoyed it wasn't some house DJ!

There was a great atmosphere at the EP gig and she played as the Knife in 2013 with Olof, so I can imagine them turning up again, their tours tend to take in a two year period, split into a bunch of gigs in each part. So if they do EP they will probably do Bestival and festival no 6 too.

Got a ticket for London show in the presale on Tuesday. Never got the presale code despite being on the mailing list but Dicefm had tickets on sale. Was very tempted to wait to tomorrow and try get a ticket for the Stockholm show but figured London would be cheaper and easier to get to. The new album has grown on me a bit since I first listened to it but I hope she'll include at least a few from the debut as well.

Anyone have any pre sale codes or know anything about them. I'd love to see her perform and I'm sure it'd be worth a trip.

The general sale is Friday 17th @ 10am GMT.
In the meantime try the DiceFM app and you might find presale tickets still going for either London or Manchester. I'd never used that app before (or even heard of it) but they seem legit. I paid £32.45 for my ticket so they don't charge an outrageous markup like Viagogo or Seatwave do...

Got tickets for Amsterdam.

A crazy few days await.

Karin done an interview with the Guardian newspaper, fairly interesting, she talks about the reasons for the video To the moon and back.

I only got into the first album around the time of her last gig here and missed it, really hope she doesn't skip out on Ireland.

That's great news. Hopefully it won't be on the Sunday night.
Swedish based designers are doing all the graphic design and identity for Body and Soul this year.

Not going this year and bummed as wanted to see Fever Ray for years now
