3044872, I’d love to make that NY show

If the date and price work for me.

Canada(assuming it’s Toronto) could be an option too. They’re one of the most exciting things to happen musically for me in recent years so I’d love to see one of these shows.
3044875, Unclear if tickets for all shows are on sale Monday

Or just the Dec 14th show, which I'm assuming is a performance of the new album, Acts of Faith, in London

Either way I'm definitely trying to get tickets to the Canada show. Toronto would be ideal since I live here. Montreal could go down too. New York is a possibility, but less likely since it'll need to turn into a larger trip.
3044877, Just secured tickets for the London show this week

No idea what to expect but it will be an epic

Would love to hear an update after you attend!
3044897, People are complaining about the $100 ticket price...
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Tue Dec-12-23 04:00 PM
...after receiving a wetransfer link to five free albums last year.

Naw, y'all can miss me with that.
This is what supporting music looks like in 2023/24.
Go to the show. Buy merch. Buy the records.

How do you think this operation runs? On you streaming Black Is on Spotify?
3044899, It's expensive but I'm more concerned with the lead time for these announcements
Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Dec-12-23 05:10 PM
They're not coming to my city. And I will go to New York to see them.
But it won't be possible if the tickets go on sale 3 days before the show like they did for London.

But, $100 is an expensive ticket regardless. And they were charging out the ass for vinyl (particular the Cleo Sol records).
3044904, 100 GBP = $170 CAD which is a LOT and I own all the vinyl
Posted by wrecknoble, Wed Dec-13-23 07:41 AM
All of Sault's discog and Cleo's (even pre-ordered the latest releases)

That price, if it holds true for Canada, means I'll most likely be going solo to the show intead of buying 2 tickets as I normally would.

I love live music and supporting artists I care about, but people aren't being unreasonable about the price. Especially if they have to pay for travel/accommodation to one of the few locations mentioned. Hopefully the live show is incredible and people get their money's worth.
3044936, I think people underestimated who this group was.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Fri Dec-15-23 02:01 PM
Nothing about them has been traditional, and I didn't expect the show to be "normal" either.
3044920, Wow the concert was a full on EXPERIENCE
Posted by cal.25, Thu Dec-14-23 08:13 PM
I'll post more info about it tomorrow but it really was incredible, the most unique concert experience I've ever been to. Happy to answers any questions about it too

All of the SAULT featured artists were there, and performed either with a mask on or behind a screen shown as a silhouette. So this had Cleo Sol, Little Simz, Chronixx, Kid Sister and Michael Kiwanuka!!!

Whilst they were performing there was a large stage and catwalk that had dancers with choreography to match each track. The setlist was roughly:

Section 1: Orchestral/choir section
AIR
4am
Time is Precious
A tribal drumming/dance segment
Fear No Man
God's Will

Section 2: Tracks from the new album

Section 3: Previous albums
X
Glory
Bitter Streets
Free
Let Me Go
Over
I Just Want To Dance
Warrior
Faith
Angel
Masterpiece
Fight For Love
Don't Waste My Time
Up All Night
Son Shine
Why Why Why Why Why
Colour Blind
Strong
Black Is
Wildfires
3044923, that section 3 setlist is whoa

Damn, could I make it to NY? (Probably not...)

~ i could still snort you under the table ~
3044938, Yeah, after seeing that, i REALLY want to go now
Posted by DJR, Fri Dec-15-23 10:49 PM
NYC, or if the Canada show is in Montreal, or Toronto….if it’s on a day I can make it, I’m in.
3044931, I wonder if they are planning something similar
Posted by wrecknoble, Fri Dec-15-23 10:19 AM
for the other cities - or if they will be more of a traditional concert vibe (due to logistical challenges)

either way I'm down and I'm avoiding watching any of the phone footage - hopefully they recorded it for a well-produced release? did you see any type of film crew in the mix?

3044946, i'm *kind* of mad the tour announcement got front-page pitchfork status
Posted by thebigfunk, Sat Dec-16-23 08:49 AM
I know they'll do well even without that, but I feel like that adds another scale of likelihood that they'll sell out like *that*

-thebigfunk

~ i could still snort you under the table ~
3044947, Yeah - do all that AFTER I get my tickets, lol
Posted by DJR, Sat Dec-16-23 09:11 AM
Give the diehards first dibs.
3044949, What's encouraging is they're filming it.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Sat Dec-16-23 09:49 AM
Saw a camera operator in one of the videos.
Could be a concert film on the way.

But I'm going to try as hard as I can to make it to LA.
3044958, the NYC tickets are not available yet, correct?
Posted by makaveli, Sun Dec-17-23 10:17 AM
Do we know when they will be?

Posted by thebigfunk, Mon Dec-18-23 08:24 AM
Not yet, not even dates (that I've seen).
