The National + The Arcade Fire = Holy Crap!
Posted by PJ in News, The Yellow Stereo, Upcoming
I read this yesterday in an email, but I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere else. The only place that confirms it is Pollstar, but can anyone else shed some light to this? I’ve already had tickets for a while now and assumed there wasn’t even going to be an opening act anyways. But if this bit of news is true, than wow…this show just became even more of a hot ticket than it already was to begin with. Here are the few dates that The National will be opening for The Arcade Fire for the following shows:
The National | “Fake Empire”
5/1 – Atlanta, GA: Atlanta Civic Center Theater
5/2 – Asheville, NC: Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
5/4 – Washington, DC: DAR Constitution Hall
5/5 – Upper Darby, PA: Tower Theatre
5/7 – New York, NY: United Palace
5/8 – New York, NY: United Palace

Pitchfork just ran it as a news item. Hell, yes.
PS, kids, as of last week the Atlanta date was not sold out. If that’s still the case, I think this is ample reason to get on that, um, now.
Of course, it’s nowhere near me… *sniff*
I don’t understand why it didn’t sell out the first week.
Pablo, you need to just fly your ass down here. Early honeymoon or something…lol
Haha… One of these days I’m hoping they come here… I’ll see them eventually… one last *sniff* and now I’ll move on… I’m hoping I can afford to see DJ Shadow next month though!
You lucky bastard. Oh well, at least I’m seeing The National four days in a row in New York!
Andy, I don’t understand why they didn’t sell out in the first week either. I got to pre-order tickets and some of my friends that didn’t…have equally good seats.
I honestly didn’t think they would sell out a venue this large, but than again I was wrong about Sufjan selling out the Fox Theatre.
Hi Charlie! The National is playing in Atlanta again the next month, so I think i might still buy tickets for that show as well.
