2023 Live Shows

[Stefan]

I'm also keepig my eyes on them, but so far, the gig in Ireland and maybe the Cardiff Bay are the only non-festival?


If their last big tour years (2011, 2015/16, 2018/19) are any indication, there will be many more dates to follow, so I'll keep my fingers crossed

Disappointing to see the window of availability, especially during early spring in The Americas, slowly closing.

Coachella taking an unusual amount of time to announce compared to recent years (or maybe I'm just numbed by the Covid era), they must be hung up with their headliners.

Well, here's me hoping we see another date in the US in 2023.

Early-mid January is the standard Coachella announcement time, with other US festivals following in the fortnight after. Should be any day now really

Definitely more shows to come, plenty of festivals have yet to announce any names!

maybe I'm jaded from so many years of impatiently waiting for it, but isn't it still early? mid January is what I recall being normal. then that one year we had to wait until February - that was agonizing.

It could be I remember the headliners being leaked way ahead of time... I feel like I remember having a conversation with someone interested in Coachella at Christmas time within the last few years, and talking about how the lineup was already out and how I barely knew any of the artists. I'll admit, I probably was drinking that night, and clarity isn't a strong-suit for me as I've gotten older...


Anyways, I hope the Chems are on it.

[shakermaker]

it does appear some recent years were announced as early as Jan 2nd. I must be out of touch.

The tickets go on sale Friday i've heard and theres a ticket page loaded up somewhere (AXS maybe?) so should come today / tonight

Finland! That's pretty exciting! I would create a thread, but I don't know if there is any Finnish fans with us.

[Heads]

Yay, nice to see them again here in Finland after a while.
Oh, and at least one finnish fan here

Oh please, go ahead, Bosco!

Terve, Heads! Welcome to the forum. So cool to see all these fans from around the world. If you go, it would be nice to read a review.
By the way, do you happen to know when it was the last time the Chems were in Finland?

Thanks! Been lurking for years though.
Planning to go for sure, so will do.
I think they were booked for the same festival back in 2020. The last time was Flow Festival back in 2010 during the Further tour.

Best Kept Secret festival with Aphex Twin and others

[Bosco]

Tom and Ed have also added new live dates for 2023, with more to be announced next week

Was included in the Chems HQ email today about Valentine sale on  merch

[rynostar]

Saw that. Only one I might speculate on is Fuji Rock taking place July 28 - 30 which is still open on the Summer calendar. They just announced 1st lineup this week. However, might not be considering the other dates generally have a two week window between which could be for logistics planning.

Would love to see additional North America shows around Coachella. And you know my thoughts on Canadian dates (even after Osheaga '19)

...when they announce new music (right?).

[Bosco]

I'm thinking yes. Glastonbury is probably the new date to be announced, and what better way to hype that gig with a new single...

I mean, I thought this would happen with the Coachella announcement, but coinciding news with a premiere regional friendly event, is probably the way to go.

Fuji Rock already has all its headliners / sub headliners. Unless someone drops out I don't think theres really space for Chems there.

I have heard info on Glastonbury - someone told me Other Headline (their usual spot), but I am not too convinced. It seems all the acts doing that slot are already locked in (some combination of The Prodigy, Sam Smith, Fred Again and Wizkid - maybe QOTSA too). They played very recently it just seems unlikely - its a bit of a dull booking (obviously well up for it myself, but grand scheme its dull) and the album won't even be out before the festival (I heard October).

Other option is back for the missed DJ set but they said after Printworks no more dj sets for a while so this leaves me a bit stumped.

Boardmasters in the UK could be a shout, they have two indie headliners at the moment and usually have a dance/rap headliner and chems have played it before.

From todays email

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS LIVE AT THE SANTA BARBARA BOWL ON APRIL 16TH

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS LIVE AT THE WAMU THEATRE ON APRIL 18TH

There's our answer for extra America shows....but so close to Canada...

I think Seattle is a possible for me, but no for Santa Barbara considering I'll be down for Coachella week 2.

[gfa2001]

Overmono is a great support too - shame they aren't live! Saw them 3 times last year, killed it everytime.
