Guessing there's a chance they'll record one night, although guessing a gig like this will have a stripped back stage set and few other performers, so not so sure we'll get a Blu-ray out of this one. Considering the 'Electric' tour never got professionally recorded (same for 'Release'), they may just leave this as a fan exclusive. A double live CD would be fab though. Wouldn't suprise me if there's eventually a few other limited dates in other parts of the UK at least.
Like I said before: a bonus blu-ray with the to be released 3rd b-sides compilation.

Advice from an old man. Put down the phones and enjoy the show.
That's what I'll be doing. This sort of performance could be a once in a lifetime experience, and I want to
experience it, rather than film it.

Either way, I'll be enjoying it rather than mucking about with my phone!
My gut feel guess is an audio-only release in late 2026 on vinyl and CD but yeah, I’d be surprised if there’s a visual release.

"Plus guests"... I just hope it's not that poet from the Savoy shows...
Could be Johnny and Bernard for Patience of a Saint..
I don't want to put a downer on this but for some shows ''guests'' can just be a DJ.

Stay clear of Viagogo!!
Ok, any recommendation on how to get tickets on Friday?
You’re only best and safest bet is the general sale on Friday I would imagine! Good luck!!
Yeah sure. I mean, using several laptops at the same time, or start trying before time, or a particular browser. Something like that? Thanks!

I’m torn on this tbh. One part of me wants to keep my phone in my pocket and enjoy the full experience..the other part is saying ‘FILM IT!!’ as it’s probably never going to be professionally filmed and released!!! I want to have SOME video that I was actually there to look back on!

Yeah I mean. At dreamworld I filmed from time to time. But the other day I was just checking out some bits of the Oasis show here in Argentina and the video was 2 something hours long!!! I mean this guy was there with his phone up ALL THE SHOW! what's wrong with people?
I remember throwing (empty) bottles of water to a guy that was a couple meters in front of me holding AN IPAD up through Super show. (Ultimately when other people started imitating me he had to put it down)

There may possibly be a mobile phone ban, like that had at the Q&A's for Nonetheless last year. I believe people who attended those had to hand them in.. I could be wrong...

They probably would have had to put that information on the website beforehand though wouldn’t they?

When I went to the Koko one-off show in London, there was a guy in the front of the queue when waiting who was there for the sole purpose to get to the front and record the entire thing on his phone so he could upload it to his YouTube channel. He wasn't even a 'serious' fan. Once we got to the front of the barrier he then elbowed his way to the front so as to have an unobstructed view to record the entire set...only for the purpose of getting likes/follows/views on his page. It was kind of gross.

There may be resale tickets for those who can’t attend advertised on the official ticket site. Check twickets too, more reliable and secure and always at face value too. Just check regularly.

The “guests” will be cheeky pete and superchumbo doing alternate pre gig Dj spots.

I never got a code though following the book purchase (checked spam folder etc) but did via the 'no purchase necessary' link. Glad I did the belt and braces approach.

Did everyone who was able to buy tickets through AXS got a confirmation email yet?
No but that's because I entered the wrong email address in a panic. I emailed their customer service and they pointed out that it was my error and it was sorted very quickly.

That's often done mainly for acts premiering new material before it's been released. The opposite of this show! But who knows
