Playing The Great Escape this year. Nice :guitar:












I have no idea why I have started a thread on this other than I am excited by this news!

Brilliant. Dome is perfect for them. Only £12.50 as well. Great Escape's not worth the price (although they have just announced 100 new acts for this year) but just bought a load of Park tickets. Going to see them at Evolution in Newcastle in June as well

Quality!

Great - I hope they just do stuff from their first album tho!

Always enjoy the Great Escape - cracking weekend. And you always discover some new stuff you'd never have heard otherwise. Main criticism - too many clashes, and not enough late-night gigs. Also difficult to get in to some of the bigger gigs unless you buy a 'delegates' pass.

Even better...nobody beats me singing this on the old singstar...

Yeah, I totally admire the ethos of it. There are plenty of bands I wouldn't mind seeing on the line-up this year, but not enough to spend £50 on it.

Love the first album, one of those albums where every track is amazing. And Paul Smith (lead singer) is a top bloke
Well up for this gig!

Just happen to be doing some work for Lukas Wooller on Thursday.

Is it really that expensive tho - you could easily spend that on two gig tickets.

No worries, good to see so many people with immaculate music taste around here

LOVE Maximo Park and tempted to fork out a few more quid to see them

Considering they got Sufjan Stevens to do a show at the Dome for this last year it's a bit embarrassing that they've settled for Maximo Park this year is it not?

not really , looks this year they're doing three (although only two announced) Maximo Park are the first night.

They had three last year - Sufjan. DJ Shadow and Friendly Fires I believe. Don't worry, I'm not really trying to have a go, I just find the idea of Maximo Park playing the Dome a bit ridiculous.

I totally agree. The Great Escape is a vechicle for relatively unknown smaller bands to play. Maximo Park do not fit in as far as I can see and I will not be topping up my ticket for this one! The fact its only £12.50 reflects their potential pulling power which I guess will be pretty low.
