Muse & Arctic Monkeys to support The Killers in South Africa

Actually… not really. I just made that up.

But it’s nice to dream, isn’t it?

    Apparently the page doesn’t exist.

    Not too worried though as I have seen all 3 before (not on the same night – I think).
    Might have seen Muse just after the Killers one year and then a year or so after that saw the Killers as a Headliner.

    That’s almost like false advertising. Shame on you for making me so excited for NIKS!

    That page does not exist.

    Reflex > Well that’s as maybe, but we don’t get much (good) quality music down here – not the big bands, anyway.

    Emil > Well – The Killers ARE apparently coming (“some details to iron out”), but I’m not sure who’ll be supporting them. The Computicket link has been flaky all day. Maybe try this for a decent alternative night out: http://www.computicket.com/web/event/christmas_with_richard_cock/18902356

    I have it on good authority that its not the Killers, but Greenday who is confirmed for December.

    Don’t know if you caught the football tonight, but who the hell are Port Vale?

    After tonight I wonder if people will be asking who the hell the other team are?

    Jaja now that I have seen them I shall allow them out to visit you, but only if Goblin goes to the concert dressed as a hamster. She has to be there. In a giant plastic ball.

    Steve > That would be crap.

    Reflex > Robbie Williams supports Port Vale. Great win for them against United reserves.

    Po > Shouldn’t she dress up a bit for it. That’s what she normally wears.

    So a come-back for Robbie and Port Vale all in the same year.

    Reflex > I hope Vale do better than Williams.

    Nice try! And wishful thinking!

    I’ve called Compu Ticket and no such event is listed.

    Besides…. there would have been a massive media/press release if The Killers/Green Day/Foo Fighters/RHCP/Whoever was coming to SA….

    Big Concerts or 5fm would have made that very public on their websites if this was true.

    Weak rumour….. very weak!

    If the tickets are only to be released on the 14th – surely that’s when we’d hear about it.
    News24 have also reported that the concert seems likely.

    anyone would know that a band as big as Muse wouldn’t support The Killers, they are both equally as big

    killers fan > Yes dear. Well done. Go to the top of the class. And jump off. The post was written tongue in cheek.

    Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday 28 August! Yay.

    Lol-Muse open for The Killers?
    When I saw that I was thinking two things
    1 “OMW MUSE MUSE MUSE”
    2 “Who in their right mind would put MUSE before the killers?”

    Would be cool, I’d go and watch Muse,then leave =]

    Aleks > Why not – that’s what everyone did at the last Muse gig I went to: http://6000.co.za/2008/03/25/the-6000-miles-my-cokefest-2008-review/
