I'm pretty sure I've said this at least once in this thread already but I'm gonna say it again anyway, THEY'RE THE BEST.

[size=133:rud5qp6q]Conchords sell out British shows
4:00 AM Thursday Mar 25, 2010

[size=100:rud5qp6q]Their show might have ended, their former manager may be out in the world selling computer hardware, but Flight of the Conchords seem to be doing okay when it comes to "
business time"
(that's not a euphemism).

The pair's forthcoming European tour has added extra dates in both London and Manchester - in the capital they will now finish with a sell-out show at the 12,500 capacity Wembley Arena, having already played two gigs at the 4000-capacity Hammersmith Apollo. Tickets to their two shows at the 1300-capacity Olympia Theatre in Dublin sold out in 20 seconds while in Britain, ticket resale sites are demanding prices between £95 and £225 ($200- $480) for sold-out shows.

As well as Britain, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clements will head to the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, where, of course, they are taken seriously as a folk duo, the whole comedy element having been lost in translation.

There's also this:


[size=100:h569z7wl]There is a strict limit of 4 tickets per person and per credit card and per billing address for this event. This limit will be strictly enforced.

That means a WAR [image]

I've added some meet-up threads for some UK shows in the [url=Meet-up section][/url].

At the moment, I've only added shows where I know there will be a number of people attending.

If you need threads for other shows (UK or Europe), please feel free to add them yourselves or let me know that they are needed.

Enjoy planning! [image] 39 days until the tour begins! [image]

I really wish I could hear Jenny on one of the shows I'm going to be [image] . I love this song with cello [image] .

And the Conchords song he chose at the end of the interview is my favourite too [image] .


I also wonder how Europe fans will react to them, is it going to be like in the US - rock gods or maybe Brit pop / boys-band gods (Take That [image] [image] [image] - that's a good one, Nigel [image] [image] ).

Also I'm curious what song they will choose as an opening. Is it going to be again "
Too many dicks..."
or something different? Maybe they'll use the Amsterdam gigs as 'test drives' and then develop along the way. Every country can respond to them in different way or maybe the Conchords fans are the same everywhere. That's a tough case to bite for the Guys [image] .

I was hoping so hard that he would be there. "
Jenny"
with Nigel is so [image]

I was thinking the same thing, if they were going to revamp their show's typical setlist from what they did last year to a) Do something different or b) somehow accommodate more to their European fanbase, if that's even needed. [image]

Also, will they end their shows with Sexy Lady/Sugalumps? (Minus their additional encore performances)

I guess we shall see! [image]

i'm really curious about that too. i thought too many dicks was a really good opening but i definitely think they'll choose another song for the european tour. i wouldn't be surprised if they decide to open with one of their older songs, but who knows. i can't wait to find out ;<br />D

Yes, I'm very interested in seeing how much they change up their performance and setlist for the European tour! Not long to go now until we find out! [image]

[size=100:0aqlmilq]In some ways you could say we got our start there, and we were always over at the U.K.’
s house. But then one night, some heated words were said and Flight Of The Conchords left in a huff. We haven't been back since. That was five years ago. Now, we're coming back to say we're sorry.


[size=100:0aqlmilq]We're also going to play a show in Berkeley because last time we played there, we forgot some of the chords and insulted the audience.

Sounds all like an apology tour. [image]


However, I want them to insult Europe so they could come back soon ;<br />D.

Does anyone know if this IS their 'farewell' tour or whatever?Because I managed to finally get Dublin tickets only to discover I have major exams the day of the gig and the day after and had to pass them on to less deserving people <img src=" title="Razz" border="0"/> . I really need to see these guys live!!

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :'(



Don't say anything about 'farewell' tour. They should insult Dublin and then come back next year to apologize [image] .

Or maybe you should go to the show and if the Guys grace the Dubliners with a meet and greet, you could ask them to write a note to school ;<br />D .
