Friday, 11 July 2008 04:32 pmSo, Fall Out Boy have booked three arena dates in the UK in October.
In all honesty, I think it might be a bit excessive. Last time they came, they played much, much smaller venues like Hammersmith Apollo, which is really only a couple of thousand.
They would have been much better off playing several shows that size around the country, because a lot of the fans simply aren't going to be able to make London, Birmingham or... Manchester, is it? I dunno. I only know Wembley and the NEC.
Worse, the shows are on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Kids will be at school, grown-ups will have work either on the day, or the day after (unless that's half term, I guess).
Ages ago, I promised to take my cousin, Jasmine, to their next show with a friend. It's going to be pretty hard to arrange, because we'll be in Brighton and we'd have to take at least two days off work to get up to the London show and get home again (it'd either be so late we wouldn't get any sleep, or we'd need to sleep at my aunt and uncle's house).
It's going to be a bit of a nightmare to arrange.
It's doable - but really only if we have understanding bosses at our new jobs.
