I imagine the crowd at a TOP show on Halloween will be borderline unbearable but I'm still super excited for this
Literally doesn't matter who opens, since the tour is sold out. Support acts are redefined in a situation like this.
True, but to be pedantic, the tour hasn't sold out yet. St. Paul, Milwaukee , Miami, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Lincoln and Kansas City still all have face value tickets available (or in Milwaukee's case, a singular ticket). In fact, Portland, Boise, Lincoln and KC still have a few pairs.
Those are almost all Platinum Tickets or "premium" seats, not face value. The official site lists everything but Tacoma and Lincoln as sold out now. For example, I just tried searching for tickets to Kansas City on AXS and the only thing left are "AXS Premium" which are definitely not the standard pricing. They generally have 2 openers at all their US shows which has been standard for as many tours back as I can remember. Both legs of ERS were in the "practically sold out" state long before the openers were announced. 1st leg was Mutemath and Chef'Special, 2nd leg was Jon Bellion and Judah & the Lion. Both pairs of openers were amazing, so I hope this next leg solidifies two new favorites for me.
I’d enjoy that. I dig Vesperteen quite a bit. I honestly don’t think they will be but if you’re right I’ll be happy.
Nah, face value (non-premium) tickets are still available if you change your search filters from a quantity of 2 to a quantity of 1. (But you're right, the Kansas City AXS site is weird)
I’ve been told that Judah & the Lion will be a support act again. It doesn’t make a ton of sense to me since they were on Emotional Roadshow too but they became a huge favorite of mine after seeing them on that tour, so I wouldn’t mind. I was told this was accurate, I’m somewhat skeptical but thought I’d throw this out there in case I’m right. I’d love to see Half Alive on this tour too.
Ugh...that band is atrocious. They seem like nice guys and all but I've had to endure a few opening sets with them which include an awful cover of "Mr Brightside" and a tired ironic T-Pain cover which is just insufferable.
Oh yeah, I forgot this was an arena show, so there's no problem with bad openers. You can just go out into the lobby and eat or mess around on your phone. (Unless you have GA in which case RIP) Just nothing's more awkward than awkwardly standing around trying to keep a spot but secretly just going insane about how much you hate the monotony of the music (even if it's not that bad).
Wow...you guys remember when TOP was an opening band just a few years ago? People were talking through their set, showed up late, etc. I don’t get it. Plus TOP often has pretty great openers.
Dang, sorry you feel that way. I’ve become a huge fan of them since Emotional Roadshow and have seen them headline several times. I think their Mr Brightside cover is great, and the T Pain cover (which is only like 45 seconds long) is clearly meant to be a joke/show that they don’t take themselves too seriously. Their performance style is very reminiscent of TOP, in my opinion.
I mean, every concert I've ever been to in my life, I at least check out the openers music online beforehand (if I don't know them or haven't heard them) and if I like it, I'll go check them out. Some of my favorite bands now are because I checked them out as openers before the headliner I was going to see (Manchester Orchestra in 2007 opening for Brand New, Front Bottoms in 2012 opening for Bad Books, Jimmy Eat World opening for Weezer in 01) but honestly 9 times out of 10 I have no interest. Especially when going to shows alone (which I'll be doing for TOP and have GA tix) I'd rather not stand around for an extra hour or so for a band that I don't care for when I don't have to. Plus, with kids and stuff, it's nice to leave the house a lot later in the evening. As far as TOP opening, I saw them open for Walk the Moon and Neon Trees back in 2012. Went just for TOP then left before Walk the Moon and Neon Trees. But it was in Cleveland, so pretty much everyone was there for TOP so there was no talking or arriving late.
There's still some seats left for their MSG gig, but they're all Platinum seats starting at $161. https://www1.ticketmaster.com/twent...-2018/event/3B0054E9D71835CB?camefrom=CFC_MSG
Not yet. In the past they’ve usually announced it about two months out, but then again they usually announce their tours farther in advance. This one came pretty quick. I’ve got to imagine it will be sometime before the end of September (not that they need to sell any more tickets for this tour)
Sorry to ping anyone's thread notifications and make you think the openers got announced. Still waiting! Pretty excited that I just bought tickets to the 3rd show that got added for Wembley next year. Taking my first international trip in March and going to see that show! And hopefully either one of the other nights at Wembley, or the show in Paris as I'll be visiting both London and Paris on my trip. Insanely excited to go to Europe for the first time, and to see one of my favorite bands!
