The one day that I'm late into work and there's a Unified Scene presale for London.... Missed out on the Oslo tickets but managed to get tickets for the Friday back at the Ballroom. Last time there was easily my gig of the year so can't wait for the 2019 edition. Is there anything better than hearing that your favourite band are planning to make a gig in your hometown an annual event! Managed to pick up tickets for Oslo in today's general sale - should be an amazing night! (was going to write massive but thought better of it...)

Went for the double at the Electric Ballroom again, plus the merch package. Was so so good this year. After jumping up and down like mad at the first show, me and my sister decided we'd probably just stand and watch for the second one. We lasted about 30 seconds into Constructive Summer, the opener, before downing our beers and making our way to the pit. Can't wait for a redo

That’s my Friday and Saturday tickets booked for the Electric Ballroom. I’m much happier now it’s done. Now just keeping my eyes out for an Oslo ticket should one become available nearer the time!

Had to miss the Sunday last year as I'd already booked flights but I promptly bought an Oslo ticket straight away and then the double Ballroom. My friends don't seem as keen this year though so I'll just get really drunk and head to the pit... wait, that's what I did last year as well

How the hell I missed this on sale I don't know - went on the Saturday this year and it was gig of the year.
Just got two for the Saturday direct from CB site. Whoop!

Saw Hop Along at Oslo last night... Its a great, intimate venue with really good sound. Regretting not getting a ticket for the Sunday now, you're in for a treat

Belated thanks to the poster who helped me out with getting tickets. I was sat on a plane from London to the US, the announcement had been made to switch off all phones etc, and had given up hope when I did a final refresh to see they'd hooked me up with the presale code! I managed to get two tickets for Friday and one for Oslo. Awesome times. My only meagre way of saying thanks is this mock-up cover I made for the four new singles, which is useful if you want to compile them into one album in iTunes or something. It's .jpg as the .bmp is too big to upload.

Each to their own I guess. I still don't get it?

Doing Friday & gig & screening on Sunday, did the same this year. Really proud of the missus who ended up with a bruised backside after landing on the drumkit during the Sunday encore.

Would love to see Sports Team support... They’re a lo-fi Pulp/Art Brutish Sultans Of Ping FC/High Concept Ten Benson.

YES! Doing all of them again. Maybe that dive bar near the Ballroom will be open again by that time...

Finally done with that dreadful week getting social media reports from Brooklyn, and crying about not being there. London is just three months away!

Totally worth it, and would have done it again if my kids were just a little bit older, and things at home were a littel easier. But I did London this year, and doing it again next year. And maybe Brooklyn is a possibility in 2019 as well. Hold Steady have played twice in my own country during their entire career, so catching eight shows in fifteen months is still a pretty good deal!

Yo. So looking at accommodation for Friday and Saturday night and got me thinking if anyone has shared accommodation before?
I’m in a hotel for Sunday but gonna try and do at least one of Friday or Saturday on a budget.
It’d be cool if we had a hostel dorm for the Unified Scene for the weekend, wouldn’t it? Or is everybody else couch surfing/hotelling etc?

A Unified dorm would definitely be cool, I'd feel less guilty about stumbling in drunk in the wee hours.
