Looks like these two bands are playing together on 7/29 at MPP and 7/31 at the Mann. Pretty interesting combo, especially if AC is still going to be playing PW songs

So it looks like there are two presales. One on Wednesday that's a Spotify presale and another on Thursday. Id love to know what the Spotify code is. That's my birfday and would love a crack at some good seats. Very excited for this.

Interesting...

havent been to either of these venues. theyre seated? no GA?

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 4:41 pm

Seen AC at the Merriweather before, def going to this show. There's a standing pit at the front, a big seated area, and a big-ass lawn behind there. Highly recommend the lawn

lmao

this was cool news to wake up to

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 7:10 pm

i think even though philly is closer i want to make the trip out to merriwether post to see them...that would be monumentous

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:45 pm

co-headliners...? who opens for who ?

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:57 pm

Was wondering the same thing. I have a feeling that AC will be the openers, just because Fleet Foxes have a larger fan base, and also judging by the way the promo posters are worded for the shows.

It's possible they switch off headling i.e. AC plays last at MPP and first at the Mann.

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 9:51 pm

When I saw Flaming Lips co-headline with Weezer they alternated back and forth with each band playing 3-4 songs, and they even swapped frontmen for a few of them

Maybe they'll do something like that, but from the posters it seems like Fleet Foxes are headlining which is really strange to me since they don't have nearly as much material and they've been inactive for so long

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 10:09 pm

Fleet Foxes will be covering all of MPP and AC will cover Fleet Foxes' S/T

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:19 pm

(dreams!)

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:27 pm

i just really want deak to be up there

Post **Posted:** Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:32 pm

could you imagine them covering "white winter hymnal?" there would be some sort of trance-like throbbing going on courtesy of geo, and panda would be spiralling through the lyrics as avey yelped and screamed in the appropriate spaces... sometimes joining in on the harmony like in "also frightened"

i could see fleet foxes doing a cool cover of "brothersport" or "my girls" ... i know robin was a huge fan of MPP.

The Facebook post says these are "special shows" so I'm sort of hoping for an acoustic or more low key set, maybe with Deak.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about that. Just an observation, they usually announce their special sets. Like in Miami a few weeks ago or the Guggenheim show. I think they are special because these shows aren't part of a standard "world tour" for FF and well anytime your guest opener is AC it's pretty special. Remember lots of people had big ideas about the big sur campout shows and they played pretty similar set lists both nights. Not that this is a bad thing I just think the band tends to give a pretty clear heads up that a show will deviate from what they are touring at that specific time.

Now that I'm done being a buzzkill I hope Fleet Foxes has Dave come out on electric guitar and they do some Dead covers.

Cool, good to know. Robin Pecknold posted this on his instagram when asked who was playing first: "I think we play after AC but fairly similar set lengths / production?" So that's another bit of info.

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:48 pm

I'll be making the trip to the MPP show

Post **Posted:** Sun Mar 12, 2017 2:46 am

Anyone know how good lawn seats are? It's all I could get at the sale and I'm wondering if I should try and upgrade for actual seats

Post **Posted:** Sun Mar 12, 2017 2:50 am

it's not an mpp show if you're not on the lawn. you'll have fun.

Post **Posted:** Sun Mar 12, 2017 4:41 pm

Yeah the lawn is where the parties at ...

Going to be tripping acid with a good friend and seeing them at MPP on July 29th.

It's going to be so fucking good. Oh my god I am so excite.

Post **Posted:** Fri May 26, 2017 3:29 pm

Anyone manage to get tickets to the front center standing area? I was up there last time AC played MPP and it was magical. Surprised so many people are recommending the lawn over that spot.

Post **Posted:** Fri May 26, 2017 3:54 pm

Anyone in this thread doing the one at Philly? I'll be in the balcony... psyched about it. I hope AC gets a full set in

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 28, 2017 11:15 pm

I posted this in the general live thread but thought I'd post it here too:

I'm selling 2 tickets to the Fleet Foxes/AC show on July 31st

SEC O-B-C
ROW K
SEAT 107-108

I'm from Chicago and thought I could afford a weekend there with my gf but it's not looking like it. These look like great seats, I got them both total for 150. Just trying to get my $$ back. I can screenshot the email etc or w.e. you need to make you know it's legit

crunchitize me, or email me at [email protected]. thanks!

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 26, 2017 12:36 am

I'm so excited for MPP.

Any speculation on what the guys will play?

Post **Posted:** Fri Jul 28, 2017 2:59 pm

Damn mad hyped for this

Post **Posted:** Sat Jul 29, 2017 8:13 pm

Robin Pecknold just streamed AC's soundcheck for a couple min on ig. Fun to see that, seems like he's really into them

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2017 3:20 am

So how was it

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2017 5:16 am

It was just a normal show, consistent with their recent set lists, but also pretty short because they were opening. Still a great performance though.. Fleets were good too but went way too long for my tastes.

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2017 2:20 pm

Damn, I was really hoping it would just be a split show

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2017 4:52 pm

weird cuz on instagram robin said it would be two full sets.

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2017 7:11 pm

They started at about 7:35 and ended no later than 8:25.Iit was super short and I have to admit I was bummed- I thought it was going to be a double bill more than a opener/ main act set up. I felt like it was over before it began almost. I think I was expecting a super magical performance from them because of the venue and the team up with FF but it felt so rushed; I think I liked the intimate club shows better. Avey and Geo came up to the soundboard to watch the Foxes and they looked so happy, though. Got to say a quick hi to Avey on the way out- just thank him for the tour and congratulate him on Eucalyptus. He is such a nice, humble guy.
So, overall... good show but not my favorite. No big surprises in the lineup (Not in order: Burglars, Taste, Bees, On Delay, Summing, Guys Eyes, Summertime)With as long as the Fleet Foxes played for (close to two hours) you'd think they could have split the time up a little more. But I have to say, that crowd was so into Robin Pecknold, he could have sneezed and gotten a eardrum bursting standing ovation. He was adored! Well deserved- he sounded fantastic and the band was tight, and people have been waiting a long time for their comeback.
Sad to see this round of shows come to an end. Such fun at all the shows.

Still selling 2 tickets the philly show ($50 each, I paid $75) trying to get some of my money back. Tickets are in the center and in seats not the lawn
