Nice! I want a proper tour though :)

Firefly is better than most lineups (Shaky Knees still my fav), although enough with the fucking Eminem headliners...

[humbug]

shocked to see a lineup with actual variety, tho have we not suffered enough as a population WITHOUT having to deal with a eminem comeback...

Honestly. Kendrick live is gonna be 1000000x better than him anyway

I hope they do an actual tour, I will go see them! Definitely not gonna go to a festival for them, though.

The only time I saw them live was opening for The Black Keys at Merriweather Post Pavilion several years ago, and it was before I really liked them so I wasn't paying much attention. Last time they were in LA, I found out too late and that show was very sold out.

Same! They opened for The Black Keys here and at that point, Black Keys were getting stale af so I didn't bother going for AM alone. Kinda wish I did - love that album.

Omg, we fucked up so badly with that show! I went with friends, and none of us had any clue how much The Black Keys had blown up or how popular the AM were for an opener, so we get there an hour early and have to wait ten years to park. Once we finally enter the venue, the seating is GA on the lawn and it is PACKED FULL halfway through the AM set. So we awkwardly wedge ourselves between some people already seated, and can't even see the stage, just the video monitor of the stage. Mess!

When the FUCK are they coming out with a new album?

[princssnikki2]

Finished recording in November. As of last week, it was still being mixed.

I’m guessing April. Domino seems pretty busy pushing the new Franz Ferdinand album.

For real tho. I’m sure It’s the only time I’ll be able to see AM, MGMT and Kendrick all together but I’m not dying to go to Delaware.

[shittysoup]

(lol why are Canadian entertainers obsessed with being in Delaware?)

[princssnikki2]

Now give me an album.

What’s the consensus on the IG Live they posted? I know people are saying it’s fake, but maybe they just posted it too early and are trying to cover.

[shittysoup]

Oh what happened?

Edit: Reddit's saying it was confirmed as fake?
