Never seen them before, so looking forward to this one. Hope they don't play too much off the new album though.

To be honest, I'm the opposite. I saw them a year or two back in Sheffield on The Days of Grays Tour and the performance was good but the setlist was disappointing, too many songs from The Days of Grays and Unia which are easily their worst two albums in my opinion.

For me though the latest album is what those last two albums could have been, a new direction and with great songs to back it up. I'm amazed that some people think it's worse than the last two.

I'm personally really hoping they play either Weballergy or False News Travel Fast (or both!). They didn't play any songs from Silence (their best album in my opinion) when I saw them in Sheffield which is a major shame.

I'm sure we'll get the usual chunk from the latest album. I just hope their pick of older stuff is what I'd like... would love to hear "White Pearl, Black Oceans" or something...

Looking forward to this, It'll be my third SA show!
