Summer Solstice - June 20 at O2 Forum, Kentish Town

Post by mindcleener » Tue Apr 19, 2016 2:09 pm

Tickets through Ticketweb. Starting friday may 22 from 9am
£30.00 adv + booking fee. Limited VIP packages available.

Press release: 19/04/2016
Legendary gothic-rock heroes Fields Of The Nephilim follow their prophetic new single with two exclusive UK appearances chosen to coincide with marking the Solstice. For the first occasion, the Nephilim will perform at O2 Forum, Kentish Town on the Summer Solstice of 20th June. This follows their performance there last December when they ignited a new chapter with one of the most energising and intense live shows of their 30-year history to a spellbound audience.
In recognition of the Winter Solstice six months later, they return to O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on the 21st of December for what promises to be a spectacular celebration of the reincarnation of the sun!
The band will perform carefully constructed sets based on significant tracks from specific albums relevant to each occasion as well as showcasing things as yet unseen.
With other international events also being unveiled within 2016, the New Gold Dawn that followers of the Nephilim have awaited will soon come to pass.

In two minds about these. While I do love the Neph shows, with just 3 minutes of zoon-like unsubtle pounding drum machined new single I am not sure it satisfies my own personal preference for some new material. I'm just getting too old to get up to Kentish Town for the same old stuff I guess...................

Are you really that thick? *whistle*
They stringing you along. Who makes a 'single' without video because all of Transcend artists regularly make band or lyric video very ofton.
Which begs the question why is not the single released by Transcend who do manage the band and promote the concerts? Why is not EMI involved again after Ceromonies success?
So disappointing!! Will deinitely not be wasting my monies until album physically appears....,

Solstice - thought this is Gothic not Hippie band?
btw

With such a price tag, you can guess this onewon't be canceled, postponed, etc… :roll:

Without me though. I can think of so many better things I could do with a hundred quids…
Fundraiser. You know, it's like Hellraiser, but without the Cenobites, the blood and all that.

Has anyone received the tickets yet for the Summer Solstice? Ticketweb said to me to call them back 7 days before the event as the tickets had not yet been printed by the promotors...
