As Benji posted here (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,881.msg11774.html#new), the Brothers will be back in the touring game again in 2018 and treat us with some new live gigs, yay! Let this be just one out of many dates to come. Fingers crossed for our Canadian fellas and all other neglected fans around the world (please play in my backyard, will ya)!

Post by: Csar on Nov 28, 2017, 13:34
Ok, I see Explud has already merged (and edited :'( ) my 2018 Dates topic with yours. Events can be added via calendar. You'd just have to create your first post there too. If you want to add new events, you have to create a dummy post in the same manner so the dates get attached to your post. Then just merge the dummy with your topic.

So. Incredibly. Pumped.

Need to take the wife to her first show. And I'm seriously hoping to hear Free Yourself in a live capacity.

WHOOOOOOP!
Title: Re: 2018 Live Dates
Post by: Explud on Nov 28, 2017, 16:13
And i also think this means that the new album can be released in next year.
Title: Re: 2018 Live Dates
Post by: Bosco on Nov 28, 2017, 17:06
Obviously, this is exciting. And as Explud just added I think we can count on a new album in the very near future.

That being said, I'm slightly concerned that, again, the live date announcement is at a festival.

Meetup on the west coast. When they play there, it's happening.

Sigh, yeah that's all the bookings they seem to get anymore. They might still have more up their sleeves though, I'm guessing this is the first announced only because Boardmasters had to say it today.


EDIT: FUCK. I gotta update the forum theme again.

I think we're unlikely to get anything in either Washington or Oregon. I can't see Seattle being big enough of a pull for them. And Portland is just too small.

Our best bet is going to be California: LA or San Francisco, and maybe Chicago again.

Or... perhaps... maybe... a return to Red Rocks?

I'm actually shocked they're not on this year! Hoping for a SF date though but yeah, a after summer show would work too
Title: Re: 2018 Live Dates
Post by: Bosco on Jan 12, 2018, 04:02
I'm guessing they don't come to US this year unless they plan on doing multiple trips like last tour, or skipping over one of the big cities (Chicago most likely). Assuming they stick to the theme of late summer music festivals, I don't see a workable schedule using the already scheduled dates and the list of music festivals they have at https://www.musicfestivalwizard.com . There might not be some festivals yet announced, and or maybe they might plan a non-festival date where it could be viable, but I just don't see it working out as or right now.


Edit:

Additionally, I don't see fest like Electric Zoo or North Coast booking the Chemical Brothers again within a three year period. If they do play North Coast again, that would be 3 times in 8 years.
Title: Re: 2018 Live Dates
Post by: Enjoyed on Jan 12, 2018, 04:56
I've been thinking a similar thing. It'd be a lot of back and forth to make it out here.

I'm obviously still hopeful, but it's looking like a forum listening party is more likely than a big ol' live show blow out.
Title: Re: 2018 Live Dates
Post by: Bosco on Jan 12, 2018, 21:55
The only other logical option I see for this year would be based around the very hyped, Day for Night Festival in Houston. It takes place in December, but I'm fairly confident The Chemical Brothers would be a target for them based off their prior lineups. Would make perfect sense to schedule a mini non-festival tour to coincide, or just tie loose ends where they missed on their potential preceding stateside summer festival tour.

Need more news!

Aphex Twin had the best sound in 2009 (7.1 and all this shit). It's not a question of the festival, it's a question of wether the band cares about having a shit sound or not

You sure? They are also listed to play Bilbao BBK in Spain on the same day.

I wonder if it hasn't been decided which day of each festival they will play. I bet they don't play in Belgium and Spain on the same day.

*EDIT* actually the Dour website (http://www.dourfestival.eu/en/program/lineup/overview/) does specifically say Thursday for the Chems. So maybe the BBK date listed on the Chems website (http://www.thechemicalbrothers.com/#live) is inaccurate. The Bilbao BBK website (https://www.bilbaobbklive.com/es/) doesn't appear to clarify days at the moment.

AccorHotels Arena, Paris, 03/10/2018  :o :o

It's one of the biggest concert hall in Paris (18 800 people). Usually they only play at the Zenith, which is much smaller.

how will they fill this? i've seen them on the watn-tour at the phillipshalle in dusseldorf (capacity of around 7500 people) and it was like empty - i wondered back then why they haven't switched to a smaller venue so the people in there won't stand 2m away from each other. i mean it's not a special thing like the olympia gig or is coupled with an event like in abu dhabi.

Yeah, excuse my ignorance, I figured there would be more. Although, Roundhouse is on the smaller end I thought?

Additionally, I just did some quick research, and I rescind my initial comment towards being the only non-festival date.

The Bologna date in June is an arena date, and Milano in July is at a horse race track. Also, Lithuania had an Arena show back in 2015, too. I'm sure there is more if I dug deeper.

It does seem like an unnecessary endeavor, unless like you mentioned, there is more to it.

Roundhouse looks big because of the high roof and the stage set up. A quick google (https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=tSuCWorDH-bYgAaE2o3ACA&q=london+roundhouse+capacity&oq=london+roundhouse+&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0l10.521.6335.0.7725.19.15.0.3.3.0.296.1229.3j4j2.9.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..7.12.1281.0..35i39k1j0i131k1.0.flYtS_GyjNs) says the capacity is just 1700. That's a lot less than say, Brixton Academy (4.9k) or the Hammersmith Apollo (5k) where they finished the last tour. I don't think you can call the Roundhouse an arena.

How big was Rockhal where BenJ saw them right at the beginning of the BITE tour? Google says 6500. Well, I guess that is a lot smaller than 18k. The London, Hammersmith gigs I mentioned above were two consecutive nights - so that was 10,000 in a weekend (10k is about the same as Wembley Arena).
Maybe they're more popular in London, and I guess Paris is a smaller city. But France is a big country! And if it doesn't sell out, then there's room to move (I think sometimes larger venues offer good deals if they're struggling to fill up their schedule). The Hammersmith gigs were so packed that the only people who could dance were upstairs in the seats! Enjoy the space if you go; I hate being packed in!

Advance tickets for Paris : https://billetterie.accorhotelsarena.com/fr/manifestation/the-chemical-brothers-billet/idmanif/426120

According to the plan, only half the seats will be used, so I'd say it will be roughly 10000 people, which they should be able to fill.
The configuration should look like this, even smaller :

Also, wasn't September when we were hoping they might make it over state side? I know it's only one day so far but... You gotta figure they have more in the works around that time, and probably closer to home rather than the other side of the world.

Yeah, I don't think there is any plans to come to United States this year. I really think they are tied to Festival dates and nothing is aligning for this year. The exception, again, being Day for Night Festival in Houston, which takes place in December.

I doubt this will happen, but, if you look further down the line to spring of 2019, it will be 20 years since the first Coachella (although, only being active for 19 of the years). There could be some kind of nostalgic fetching of old acts to reprise some of the original 1999 lineup in celebration. However, I think Tom and Ed have moved on from this festival, let alone Coachella has basically fazed out this type of booking.

New date added in Munich, Germany, on August 17th:

Looking forward to the update!!! Surely they'll have at least two songs (a la Come Inside and Surface To Air) for the new tour. I'm betting on Free Yourself and Making Me High Eve Of Destruction, rather, the full video preview was removed by YouTube via copyright claim

The configuration of the venue will only take about half the space, so I'm guessing it will be just a little bit bigger than the Zenith, where they usually play

Yeah, I've been touting that. The Corona Capital date makes it seem more likely, but Day for Night is still another month out. I still think it's likely.

I remember reading a rumor of someone saying Goldenvoice attempting to create an exclusively electronic music festival. I don't know how that plays after their cancelation of FYF this summer, but perhaps there is more to the rumor?

Prediction time for the new tracks!
Last tour, they premiered 5 new tracks (Sometimes I Feel so Deserted, Go, EML Ritual, I'll See You There and Reflexion)

Given the rehearsal pics we saw, we can safely say that there will be "Got to Keep on" and "Eve of Destruction" for sure. Then there's this "MAH", it could be the abreviation of the real name of EBW12, or the Galileo club track or something else entirely. And "Mad as Hell" / EBW12.
I'm pretty sure they will play EBW12 too, because I don't see them doing these visuals with the masks and not using them live.
Then there's "Free Yourself" that has been teased in a hashtag, and I don't see them not playing it live, as it's a banger.

All in all, I predict 5 new tracks live:
- Free Yourself
- EBW12/ Mad As Hell
- Got to keep on
- Eve of Destruction
- Some other track that we never heard before

And maybe a 6th one (please, the Galileo club track !)

Edited with the "Mad as hell" being MAH and EBW12 reveal

WOW Airlines? Love them, at least, I love their prices. Just flew with them.

EDIT: be sure to use Google Flights to check for prices on alternate days - it's cheapest if you fly Thurs-Tues that weekend.

And keep in mind WOW Airlines will make you pay extra for carry-on luggage and to pick your seat. Don't pick a seat, and see if you can pack everything you need into a medium sized backpack (aka "personal item") that fits under the seat in front, and you won't have to pay anything extra.

Yes, but i'm sure, we just lost some track in the setlist by this addition.

Aurora and St. Vincent are part of the upcoming festival date in Slovakia (but play on different days).

I know typically when collaborate Chemical Brother artists show on the same bill, nothing usually happens. But, seeing as they have shown some flex with the setlist so far, maybe we could be for a surprise?

I was more or less implying that 'Eve of Destruction' will eventually be the new single, and this might be a unique way of introducing it.

But lets be honest, this is for all of us:

Just back from the Paris show. We had Got Glint instead of Hold Tight ! And a weird transition to Wide open that sounded almost like a new track, but I think it used a riff from the old HBHG / Music Response demo. I'm not sure, but I definitely heard it before. I will post the video.

Apart from that the set was as usual, it was phenomenal !

Edit: on second thought it sounded like Propellerheads' Lethal Cut

I had the same thing. It sounded familiar but I haven't heard it before. Probably filler beats but it could be something new.

Dear goodness that was awesome!

I have rarely seen a crowd react so intensely to a new track as to Free Yourself. Also, the visuals are the best thing since the Tuba Guys. Mad as Hell is indeed mad as hell. Got to keep on making is incredibly danceable, veeery catchy and the visuals are the best thing since those of Free Yourself. There were only samples played of Eve of Distraction Destruction, was the song played at previous gigs? It seems strange to produce the visuals with Aurora just for the vocal samples, so probably the full song will be played at future gigs or tours.
I finally got to play around with the saturate balloons :)
Snow/STA is as beautiful as I have ever dreamed!
Let's hope the new stuff in the encore is a new song, it didn't sound like a transition to me.
Wide open live is even more intense than expected. I love the contrast to the calm studio version.
And of course there was the One and Only Reel.

It was the perfect highlight to a week of sightseeing in London ;D

Can't wait for the new album!

As far as I know, 'Eve of Destruction' has been only used as vocal loop on this tour.

It's only been played in DJ sets for a short time before 2018, the following was from December 2017
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UkpdhSbWbWnhxryzpT4XATN1L_xmixjs/view?usp=sharing

This will most likely be played next year but it did sound a bit unfinished compared to what they've teased in the new shows

Eve of Distraction, haha, that must've been autocorrect  ;D
But it's fitting, as I was walking to the tube while typing the post and was distracted by trying not to run into things or being run over and shit like that.

Btw, on Saturday there was somebody with a professional video camcorder (Sony PXW-FS5 or FS7, definitely not what the general audience brings along) in the audience.

Also, is this tour the first time they use the same visuals (Blue floating women, K+D+B birds) for two different songs (Snow/STA and Wide Open) during the same set?

Yes. But Wide Open is an encore song, so no problem here.

The Brothers are notorious for that, they did the church glass for setting sun and The Reel back in 2015 & 16, and did a DNA strand for The Pills wont help you now and Hoops in 2007. I could list a few more but that would be off topic.

Got To Keep On has to be one of the longest live tracks, nearly 7 minutes! The only two longer tracks I remember at the top of my head are The Reel and Escape Velocity.

The gig in Gelsenkirchen and our Forum meeting was an amazing evening as well, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world:)

In 2015 and 16, they played the British Silhouette Guy (I think originally from Dissolve? They have done so many silhouette  visuals) during OOC (at least at the two gigs I checked, 2015 Apple Festival and 2016 Hammersmith London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJjRYgoLLBA&t=3499s)

Was at the Dublin gig on Monday and oh man what a gig it was  :o
Was at the Friday Alexandra Palace gig too and the Dublin one was (slightly) better. It was very similar alright but just seemed a bit more polished or something. They made some changes and it seemed to flow better whatever they did. The crowd also seemed more responsive too, when a track would start the place would go bananas. Its weird coz London gig was a Friday and Dublin was a Monday so you would have expected it to the be the other way around. Have some videos, let me know if you want me to upload them.
What is the acid track they play when the robots come out? Absolutely class  :music
Also agree the robots aren't out for long enough, think of the logistics of bringing them around the world to each gig and only have them come out for one track. Such a waste but when they're out its  :o

Please do!
Was at the gig myself, spent most of the night by the sound desk area and had a decent view. Loved the set, really was a great mix of old & new. EBW 12 was great to hear live vs the YouTube videos. Seriously good flow to the gig. I thought that the set was better than Belfast 2016, and loved seeing them indoors at long last. Downside was how packed it was on the floor, next time I might go for balcony seats!
I left without my phone on the night, so I don't have videos here, I'm waiting for the fiancée to send them to me, will post mine when I get them.
