Yes, Nonetheless so much better with Atmos, I don't have an Atmos speaker set up, but with my great headphones it's so much better than the flatter stereo mix. I just started listening to Nonetheless again this morning by coincidence.

Has anyone been to the electric ballroom before? Is it just a square box on one level / are there balconies? Will everyone be queuing up for days before to get a good view?

I went to the Dreamworld Back to our Roots concert there. This photo is from a different show but it gives you a good idea. It’s just a box with no balcony. I was about halfway back and found it hard to see. I didn’t actually like the venue very much. Others may have different opinions.
Woof.

The venue looks pretty bad from photos and wont be able to see much unless in the front row? Better get a tent to camp out by the doors!

Was there for the PSB back to our roots gig … all 5 ft 6 of me

View pretty lousy as a level floor - but atmosphere was great.

you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

There is an upstairs area too, but maybe this wasn't used for the Dreamworld special show.

Bubabubadum is definetely on the top of my "Obscure" wishlist!! A proper updated 2026 rework of this never released tune we all alreday know so well since so many years, in a rought demo state...and form their first ever "release". I can think on a better place to breathe new life into it that on this venue!
This is not my signature.

My missus is going to hate it (the venue). Hopefully she'll let me and my daughter roam a bit, otherwise I fear I'll be consigned to the very back.

I'll see if she'll wear her "I hate people" shirt :lol:
Please everyone be kind if you run into her.

I do hope the vibe is good there though.

I want them to open with 'Hit Music'. With that opening trumpet note being held for a good couple of bars before the beat kicks in. Would be perfect.

Might even be some exclusive merch!
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.
