The National - Cherry Tree Club

Selaws said:
This is a long shot but does anyone here have tickets to see the National next month (26th May) at the O2 Academy in Brixton?

This was the rescheduled show from 2020 that was part of their 2 night 'Intimate Shows'.

The reason that I am asking is that I haven't seen anything to say it's cancelled and seeing as they were completely sold out I can't see how they can have a full-capacity gig with the current state of COVID. I have tried emailing them with no response yet.

I have tix for Cork & Limerick on June 6&7, and have not made a single booking for flights or lodging. Based on what friends have said, there is NO possible way they can play in Ireland. My guess is that the postponement announcement comes this week. I'm actually surprised that they haven't announced anything yet. I just don't see it happening.

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear, cheers.

I would love to see them but as we are yet to be vaccinated I cant see it's worth the risk to go to a full capacity gig. Another venue has started gigs but completely stripped down to less capacity and seated only. They wouldn't even be able to do that for the National as it's already sold out.

We had tix for New Haven, Bethlehem, PA, Cooperstown and a friend from VT was twisting our arms to go to that show too. We would have, no doubt.
There were going to be added shows including Newport Folk Fest and some special NYC thing. There was also going to be a special Chicago event when they played Pitchfork.

I also had Cooperstown tix, and I’m embarrassed to say that a year ago I had hope that it would be my first show back. The thought of going up to Cooperstown with some friends, camping or staying in some B&B, and seeing The National at the Ommegang brewery sounded like a heaven that I definitely thought I deserved after 4 long weeks or so of lockdown.

You should definitely go to Vermont for the show if they reschedule. I thought I had some pictures of past shows saved but it’s this awesome outside venue on a small hill. Everyone brings chairs and there’s food trucks onsite. It’s lots of fun.

I was also going to probably go to New Haven as well with some friends back in Connecticut. Hopefully they rearrange everything for sometime soon, probably 2022 though tbh.

Yeah, I'm in Ireland and there is no way these shows will happen, we are unlikely to have bars open before the end of May. Surprised they are not already postponed, I've had gigs from May that have been pushed to May 2022.

I totally get that. When PJ canceled their Gigaton tour, I knew that Homecoming cancellation was imminent. Even though I knew it was coming, I actually cried when it was made official. We had THE BEST time at Homecoming in 2018. Hope it will be rescheduled.

My husband‘s family is from County Kerry, we had hoped to visit them last summer which was postponed to this summer. Have been following closely and know it can’t happen. We never had the option for a refund, not that I want it, it delaying it two years, I do think they should offer it.

Hoping the announcement comes soon. It’s just not fair to keep people in limbo, though even if shows went on, it’s highly unlikely we could attend. 😢

Agree, not fair to make you wait like this.

On the brightside, when it happens in 2022, it is going to be utterly insane.
 
Well after initially rescheduled for a year later the 2020 The National gig in London has been cancelled with full refunds being issued shortly. Would have been my first experience seeing them live but hopefully I will have another chance at some point.

Sorry @Selaws. I just saw that Limerick has been postponed - haven't heard anything about Cork yet (but of course it's not happening this year) Those are the two shows we still have tickets for. It was inevitable but it still stings.

I am SO excited for this! It was such a great show. Graham's book should hopefully be shipping in the next couple of weeks (it stated late April / early May) It's going to be so nice to have more live The National on wax!!!!
 
So, I got my replacement copy for the scratched s/t (color variant) yesterday, and the replacement was the standard black. No info about this when I first contacted them about the damaged record. E-mailed them today to see what's up. I mean, okay if they're out of coloured replacement copies (even though that's a bit crappy too), but they should've at least mentioned it. Pretty pissed as I got to pay about €10 of custom fees for the replacement as well...
