Am I disappointed I can't attend? Sure. But am I also deeply in love with a band that says to hell with convention, we give the people what they want? Absolutely.

Reading this made me smile. Great that those that missed out on the London ticket sale the first time.

Also does this mean you'll be twice as drunk for the evening performance?

Very possibly

A second gig set before the first one? What is this, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? I mean, clearly not, but still....

I admire this analogy but I don't understand it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was the first film, set in 1936. Then a follow up film was announced (Temple of Doom) but set before the first film in 1935. This format was so wild that no-one in entertainment has dared repeat it since* - until We Are Scientists came along.

*Please nobody research that claim.

Thank you so much for giving those of us who missed out on the first batch of London tickets a chance to go to a matinee show! (which is also perfect for those of us over 30 who get tired by 9pm in the evening! 🤣)

I've only just signed up, is there any way of getting a link for the matinée tickets (if there are any left)?

The tickets for the matinée sold out within 3 minutes of them going on sale yesterday morning, unfortunately. They went super quick!

Just pondering your wording here. Are you stressing the fact that the London shows will be the same because they are on the same day, or does that mean that you might change it around a bit between the other UK shows? (To be clear, I would be fine either way. I’m just curious. I’d happily watch the same show every night - it doesn’t get boring.)

In the interest of trying to keep the matinée tickets available for people who don’t already have tickets to the evening performance, we are officially committing to doing the same setlist at both shows. Regarding the non-London shows, it’s a bit early to know exactly what we’ll get up to. We will definitely play BTM in full at each show, followed by a 2nd set of other material. I would imagine the second sets will vary some from show to show (excepting the two London shows).

I totally respect this and really appreciate the gesture that this is an extra show for fans who missed out rather than cashing in on the fact that you can sell more tickets. I very much hope everyone else respects that too.

Accept that it is early days to be working out set lists but I am just so excited. Honestly cannot wait!

Is there likely to be an age restriction? My kids would LOVE to come to this

Alas, no other dates are going to be added to this tour. Blame the mayor of London! (I mean, it's not his fault, but still.)

It'll be something very close to 2pm Doors, 3-4:30 show. 🌞
