That lineup is insanely good. Extremely tempting even w/out Chems.
The conflicts will be soul crushing.
not bad, not bad.
if I weren't already seeing Pulp and Blur in europe this month I would be seriously considering this.
North American show right after the UK leg. Mexico needed the makeup after the 2020 cancellation. Good for them.
But does this mean more shows for either North or South America in the late-November / early-December timeframe? Makes me also wonder if they will do a Australia / NZ in the Southern Summer time festival season or an Asia leg.
That lineup is absurd.
I wonder if the headliners clash or not
I think they will come to South America (I'm praying to all the gods). One week after Corona Capital, Primavera Sound Buenos Aires begins. There are also festivals in Chile, Brazil, Paraguay and Colombia (Is it possible that they repeat?). All in November/December.

Last time they played the fest in 2018, it was a one-off regarding the Americas.
They did play Guadalajara Corona Capital the following May(2019). So that might be something to chew on as a repeat possibility.
besides being in the continent there are work visas to deal with. mexico one-offs tend to happen because it's a easier to secure the needed visas; making a quick jaunt next door is not always simple.
that said, they have US visas already from earlier this year, which perhaps have not expired yet...
that said I hope the speculation about South American dates is true. we've had two stateside appearances recently, and SA usually gets neglected way more than us. I hope their time is coming.

Well, most of the lineups from the November and December festivals in South America came out. The Brothers are not in them. So probably after Mexico they will go to the USA...?

Speaking for the USA peeps...
We hope, but I don't think it's likely. There isn't many compatible USA festivals for this year with lineups yet to be announced. So unless there is an unforeseen non-festival tour in the future, I would say USA has to wait until late summer (August/September) 2024. This is when majority of the electronic music festivals, which have the possibility of booking The Chemical Brothers, take place across the states.
I've never been to Corona Capital, but this lineup is a bit of bucket-list buster for non-europeans. A bunch of quality and relatively rare live acts on that lineup. Should give it some extra thought if you're on the fence.
This is my first time posting. I've only seen CB once in NYC 2019. Dying to see them again. Has anyone been to the Corona Festival? It seems like the best bang for your buck with the lineup. How long do they usually play at festivals? Would it be better to go to one of the UK dates and see a full show? I've never travelled internationally for a show. Any advice or recommendations on how to book, what the locations are like, etc. would be very much appreciated!

A couple of forum members went in 2018 when the Chems last played. Here is the topic:
https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,1127.0.html
They'll probably play a 1.5 hour set for the festival (as per usual for festival sets), and the UK shows will get close to ~2 hours, including encore (but no guarantee).
Welcome by the way. We'd love to hear about your journey and experiences for whatever show you should choose.

welcome! I love that passion and encourage you to follow it. I find traveling for a concert to be a great reason to explore some place new. both mexico and england are great fun to visit. I can't speak to the corona festival, having not been, but I think whatever you choose you'll have an amazing time. I guess one factor to consider is whether you care about the other bands playing corona. it's an amazing lineup.
Traveling for a concert is fantastic, I've done it multiple times, though only within Europe.
If you want to see just the Chems, I'd suggest the venue dates in UK (longer shows and the ticket price should be better, if you compare it to a festival pass for just one act). Since they're doing a tour in the UK, you could even catch multiple shows and combine that with traveling around the country (even if it's one show, since you're already traveling, why not take a longer vacation and see something of the world?)
The UK is a great place to visit, I myself have tickets for Glasgow and London and will be traveling around Scotland in between.
Festivals are of course great when there are multiple acts you'd like to see. I'm sure Mexico is also great to visit :)
The Chems stand-alone gigs are about ten to 15 minutes longer than their festival gigs.
Is it worth travelling across the Atlantic (and burning carbon) for that? Do you want to follow them around their (expensive) UK dates to see them do the same set every night?
This Seattle gig (https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-chemical-brothers/2023/wamu-theater-seattle-wa-43b8d727.html) is -I think- the most recent time they played an encore (indoor venue). So it's just tracks 19 & 20 that were extra. Chems festival sets are usually 90 minutes
I look at the lineup for that Corona Capital festival and I see a LOT of good stuff!
I would be much more excited about seeing...
The Chems PLUS
Arcade Fire
Pulp
Fleet Foxes
Hot Chip
Blur
The Black Keys
Jungle
Nation Of Language
The Cure
Pet Shop Boys
Breeders
Goose
Ladytron
Noel Gallagher
...than I would be about flying from the US to the UK just to see one act play a slightly longer set.
But I don't know what your music taste is MarilynG.
*bold ones on the same day as the Chems if you're just doing one day.

Right, but does Corona Capitol have Hula Hoops and Jaffa Cakes?
And Honey Nut Shredded Wheat?!?

Fair.

fun fact - Mexico City and London are a similar travel time by plane from NYC.
I'm assuming MarilynG is near there, based on the location of her first/last Chems gig.

Is this the real deal from Corona Capital 2023?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk30nAVQr1M
Was this live streamed? Sounds like it comes straight from the recording desk (peaking a little, though). It's too bad it being a festival show and thus missing the encore with my most favorite part of this tour No Geography + Darkness.
Edit: Former link had weird distortions, like an old cassette, at times.
There is no George and Mildred on the show! I suppose it is to reduce logistics and transportation costs.
If anyone is on Facebook check out the Chems 'Brotherhood' page. So much love and enthusiasm and afterglowing going on over there 👏🏻 The show looks to have gone off with a tremendous bang!

Ok wow, that's definitely a soundboard recording. Without crowd noise, too. :o
I was just thinking a day or two ago that live recordings of their shows have becoming way more abundant but poorer in sound quality (phones vs someone bringing a proper device back in 2007), but the again the occasional soundboard recording of a streamed concert arrives less than 24 hours after a concert... so that's neat!
I'm so glad this show / festival was documented. I went last time they played at Corona Capital and it was / is a first rate festival with an amazing crowd and a wonderful city. I tried to convince my wife to go this year but couldn't swing it.
Even though I'm going to Mexico tomorrow for a wedding. Just a few days off. Maybe next time.
I highly recommend anyone in the states / Canada / Mexico / etc to make the trek to this festival, even if the chems are not there. They know how to organize a good time.

Viva la México!
Here's hoping history repeats itself and they play the spring version of Corona Capital (2024) in Guadalajara, and perhaps spurring a USA stop.

Lineup there is always ridiculous - shame how bad the 3 big names clash though each night! If you watched all of chems you had to miss half of both the other headliners :(
Latin America / South America always have amazing crowds
Are there any better recording ? One that is not 720p and has no black bars...
From what I understand it was streamed on youtube and twitch, it would have been pretty easy for both to make a clean rip :(

;D first thing I did was look for Chemical Beats to see if they made it over. Mustnt have got their Mexican visas sorted
That Temptation transition was weird. Play the old version like in the early days or play the version with vocals. And using it throughout SG doesn't sound right. But the transition from SG into LA is a thumps up
Kitten killer
Favourite part: Ed at 01:35:35 - 01:35:40 ;D
Quote from: Stefan on Nov 20, 2023, 22:24Ok wow, that's definitely a soundboard recording. Without crowd noise, too. :o
I wonder if this is really a pure "Tom and Ed" soundboard recording and not a second party kind of recording (like a Corona Capital directed one), meaning another mix other than straight from the mixing desk. I say that because there is crowd/atmo mixed in and unfortunately the beats/percussion tend to be a bit unbalanced volume-wise, often getting drowned out by effects and synths etc and thus lacking some punch.

I don't mind that segue as much. I actually like this one much better than the previous version and am happy they got rid of the Blue/Green/Gray eyes vocals (Sorry, Mr. Sumner!!). But I agree on the length of the use of the vocal effects over SG, went on for a little too long. It also sort of sucked out the energy of SG's peak moment when the
Take What I take vocals come in. I'm also no fan of the SG/LA segue because the SG outro synth doesn't go well with LA's intro melody imo.
Listen to Goodbye/Setting Sun, this one's jarring!
For me, this is the first tour of theirs ever where some transitions/ sound combinations just don't really work. In all these years, I never ever had these moments where I was like "hm, this sounds weird" (maybe with the exception of the Believe vocals over Saturate). But there are also plenty of really cool things going on, too, making it one of the most playful tours they've ever done imo. I'm pretty torn.
Quote from: Csar on Nov 21, 2023, 22:38Listen to Goodbye/Setting Sun, this one's jarring!
Oh I agree!
I would have liked more bottom end vibrations and louder drums on Goodbye. Maybe it sounded different at the venue though?
I ripped the Audio, hit me up if you want a download link.
Tried to rip the video as well (using Stacher), but for some odd reason the downloaded video doesn't have an audio track. Maybe some settings are wrong, I'll try again sometime.
Quote from: Wolkenkrabber on Nov 23, 2023, 13:34Oh I agree!
Perhaps I need to clarify a bit: I only meant the segue between these two. I actually really like this Goodbye live version, especially its second to last half where everything gets upped a notch with its swelling psychedelic synth pads and effects. I would have loved to have something like this for the album version, to be honest. And just like on the album, imo it's just not very well placed between tracks. The emotional ecstasy they've created for its outro should not be cut off so brutally. Maybe they were running behind their schedule and had to cut it shorter or whatever.. But it needs to breath like Wide Open. Maybe it was better if Setting Sun and GB switched places.
Also, Setting Sun is one of my favorites of this tour. This new elongated glide/portamento effect for its guitar sample at the end is so cool and put a YUGE smile on my face.
I've said it a couple of times already, but I'm really, really, REALLY, loving their No Geography/ Darkness mash-up. It kind of redeems the "grievances" I have about both album and their current show. So frickin' damn good (some more effects and/or additional elements here and there and it would be perfect) And as with GB, this one should have made the album instead of the rather underwhelming Harvest mix.

I'd like to believe that this recording was a Corona Capital one because I can't imagine the beats where that faint during the show. Can any festival goer confirm/deny that?
I got the video of show officially ripped.... More coming later. I;ll keep yall posted; good day!))

I was in that festival, but the videos sound is not like if you were there (obviously). Idk why, but always I have thought that the sound in the videos are so poor!
