The The For Albert Hall Show & Box Set

http://thequietus.com/articles/23169...lbert-hall-gig

The The have announced their first gigs in 16 years including a show at the Royal Albert Hall (June 5, 2018), London and the Heartland festival in Denmark (June 1, 2018).
Tickets for the events go on sale Friday September 15 (this week) and are available for London here and Denmark here. There had been speculation among fans that The The were going to reconvene as a live entity after they released a Record Store Day single, 'We Can't Stop What's Coming' in April.

Also on the cards for The The fans is a new box set Radio Cineola: Trilogy out on Friday October 20, in vinyl, CD, standard and digital formats. The three albums the box contains are The End Of The Day ("songs / interpretations / performances"), The Inertia Variations ("poetry / soundscapes / spoken word ") and Midnight To Midnight ("electronic scores / political commentaries / broadcasts") with the three albums based upon 12- or 24-hour time-cycles and as interlinked as Borromean rings. Musicians on the LPs include contributions from JG Thirwell, Thomas Leer, Johnny Marr, James Eller, Meja, Anna Domino, Zeke Manyika and many others.


The vinyl edition contains heavyweight 180g pressings and a 48-page bound book of lyrics, poetry, exclusive photographs and guest commentaries about the project while the Deluxe CD box includes 3 x 68-page hardback books of similar material.

Ugh, only 2 shows, one in Denmark, one at RAH. Oh well.

Hoping it leads to more

Hope so too.

Saw The The live with Johnny Marr, around 1991. Great show.

A few more dates added....



Matt Johnson continues to slowly expand the much-anticipated live return of The The next year, today announcing the group will headline Festival No. 6 in Portmeirion, a booking that’s being billed as the band’s only confirmed U.K. date outside London.
Johnson last month announced plans to release a 3-disc box set and mount the first The The concerts in 16 years, first unveiling performances in Denmark and London in 2018, then, when that London performance quickly sold out, adding two more concerts in that city.
Now The The has been announced as the headliner of Festival No. 6 in September, with tickets going on sale Oct. 26. It’s not yet known how many more The The performances are planned for 2018.

The The tour dates:
June 1: Heartland Festival, Egeskov Castle, Denmark
June 5: Royal Albert Hall, London, UK
June 6: Brixton Academy, London, UK
June 7: Troxy, London, UK
Sept. 6-9: Festival No. 6, Portmeirion, UK
