Double yes !
Plus the ab is a really, really nice venue.

Great! I have a couple of great memories of SY playing in the AB in 99 and 00.
It'll be fun to see them play there again.

i might go to this one. but i can't buy tix. till next week. hope they last till then....

Sweet, I'll be there. Thanks for the heads up!

AB is a great venue, I'll definatly go to this. One problem though... I have an exam when the ticket sale starts and I'm afraid this will sell out fast :( Any ideas?

Haha don't worry it won't sell out that fast.
Just order online or something.

I could order them online at about 13:00, or even go get them at ABshop as I study in Brussels. Think there'll still be tickets then? I remember when I went to Franz Ferdinand in AB it sold out in 10 minutes, though they're probably more popular. But it's still a pretty small venue! (1200 people I think)

Thanks for the help :)

Last time I wen to SY in Brussels I had lots of time to order my ticket.
I study in Brussels too, what school do you go to?

I study at RITS, first year. Thanks, I guess I'll have some time to order then! Where do you study?

Hetzelfde haha. BGM, gij ook?

Grappig, kleine wereld! Nee, 1AK... Zou anders wel zeer raar zijn 2 Sonic Youth fans in 1 klas zonder dat ze elkaar kennen? :p

Bwa ik ken er nog veel die naar SY luisteren in mijn klas zenne. In ieder geval die tickets zullen nie rap weg zijn, als ge na uw examen of les whatever langs de AB gaat zulde wel safe zijn. 1AK... Zit gij dan ook nie met dieje knul van The Galacticos in de klas? Ik dacht da dieje ook opt rits zat.

Mmm ik denk niet dat die in 1AK zit, misschien tweedejaars al? In mijn klas zitten er ook wel luisteraars, maar grote fans niet echt denk ik. Ik ken 1 iemand in 1BGM: Olivier, daar zat ik vroeger mee op school. Goed om te horen wel dat SY wrs niet zo rap uitverkocht zal zijn, wil ze niet missen :)

Nu is het bedtijd!

hoe is AB vergeleken met Les Halles?

Bigger, better.

I'm pretty confident this won't sell out that fast. I mean, the ab has a capacity of about 1800 people, and believe it or not but The youth isn't that popular (people were comparing it to the franz ferdinand concert which sold out in no time).

Does anyone know if it's easy to get to the venue from Charleroi's airport? I don't feel like googlin' for directions now, but I might consider planning a in & out in 24h mission...

Jup, very easy.
first, you take the shuttle bus from charleroi airport to charleroi station (5 minutes).
And then you can take the train from charleroi to brussels central (which is a five minute walk from the venue) . This'll take you an hour max (even less i think). And there are trains leaving for brussels like every 20 minutes.

Wonderful news, thanks a lot ruben. I'll try and make up my mind soon...

A SY gig and nicfit, sweet!

Heh!
The problem is that planning that long in advance can led to unpleasant situation (A few years ago I bought a ticket for a sy gig in santiago de compostela and in the end I couldn't go). But this time: ryanair ticket around 35 euros tax included, 32 euros for the show, it's not a big investment, even if things go wrong...

There's not a whole lot that could go wrong, if you plan your trip on time you'll be fine.

tickets will be purchased in a few minutes.

are there people who need a drive from holland (say Utrecht/Amsterdam)?

Ik moet passen...

Klote zooi.

Does anyone has information about a gig in the Netherlands in october??

i heard via via it isn't going to happen... but i am not 100% sure.

I got mine, shame livenation is organising the tour though... No student discount!

booked! I love Europe..

I love they do the netherlands

Already sold out! :o

Booked & paid @ 11:05 AM

This is quite remarkable. Sonic Youth selling out a 2000 people venue in just two hours or so. Didn't see that one coming

Me neither :(

I'm sad too (egotistically).

More Sonic Youth in Brussels! Don't know if this is news to you guys, but "Sleeping Nights Awake" will be shown in the beursschouwburg for free! I had never heard of it, is it any good?

In a venue like the AB, it was expected.

I've seen it. it's good. it's all in black and white kinda, if I remeber correctly. it's just the fact that it's all RR material on it, which I don't have to, but it's good.

anyone can help me with some good links for cheap accomodation in Brussels? cheers!
