I already planned to see them at Pygmalion fest (Friday) and Goose Island Block Party (Saturday), and this is on Sunday. Holy fuck. I cannot miss this. Gonna go for the hat trick lol

I am seeing Avey solo the week after. I hope someone records. Not completely sure I can swing this one.

Seems like AC doesn't really play special shows or setlists anymore, so even though this kinda makes it sound like a throwback show, I assume this will just be their regular material from this tour. I'm still super psyched though because the Empty Bottle is tiny and Black Dice + AC is like my dream concert bill. The last time Black Dice played a show was like 4 years ago too

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2017 6:40 pm**

They should play a Wastered inspired set and bounce between Black Dice and AnCo every couple of minutes. One can only dream.

holy shit this is fucking hype!!!!!!!!

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2017 8:14 pm**

Oh fuck holy shit I need to go to this

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2017 8:29 pm**

I wish

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2017 8:47 pm**

fuck. yes.

i can't believe this, i'm so excited. i was too young to go to the ac/bd shows at the bottle since they were 21+, so this is like a dream show.

Posted: **Tue Aug 08, 2017 11:15 pm**

I wonder how fast they will sell out. I'm going camping in Colorado and will be coming home on the 24th, I hope I can make it in time because this will be INSANE.

haha I picked the AC-est weekend to visit chicago

Posted: **Wed Aug 09, 2017 7:33 pm**

Friday morning when tickets go on sale is gonna be a bloodbath. Hope everyone here can get a ticket. Imma be poised and ready to refresh the page right at 10am

Also the Empty Bottle's site says tix will be $40. Worth every penny

Posted: **Thu Aug 10, 2017 3:13 am**

o dammit my flight out of chicago is on sunday morning. ooooooooooooops

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:04 pm**

Got a ticket!!!!

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:08 pm**

I'm still "in line"

EDIT: Wow, waited 13 minutes and didn't get tickets.

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:21 pm**

^yeah my friend had the same thing happen to him

that sucks man sorry

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:24 pm**

Same thing happened to my brother and I. Message me if you have any extras!

And have a blast at the show Jetski!

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:26 pm**

It was two ticket max per purchase, and will call only. No extras. All I can do right now is imagine My Girls fans who got tickets and not me lol. I used to play all the time at Empty Bottle (including opening for Deakin), gonna try really hard to pull some strings.

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:34 pm**

I haven't been to the Empty Bottle in a while, but last time I went to a will call only type event there, it was like a list requiring an ID. Like you only get your tickets once you're inside and present your ID. So idk how one would be able to purchase someone's tickets.

Now it says ADVANCE tickets to this event are sold out. I'm going to try calling EB when they open.

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 3:39 pm**

Yeah except I have a wife lol

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 4:21 pm**

Thanks! Hope those who got tickets have a great time. It's going to be sooo good.

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 11:00 pm**

Any word if there will be more tickets released?

Posted: **Fri Aug 11, 2017 11:55 pm**

Guy I spoke with at the Empty Bottle wouldn't give me a straight answer on that but said to watch the EB newsletter, though I'm leaning towards them not releasing more. Like even my band back in the day would sell out the Empty Bottle. I think I mentioned it but they only have room for 400 people.

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:02 am**

Yeah, I called and he said the same thing to me. I asked what are the odds of releasing more tickets and he said it is very likely. SMH.

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2017 7:17 am**

I am unimaginably jealous of anyone going to this

Posted: **Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:13 pm**

I know it's a long shot but please dm me if you have a ticket you need to get rid of. I'm probably one of many but not going to stop the good fight.

Thanks for the heads up bro!

Posted: **Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:49 pm**

Thanks for the heads up on that, man. I am insanely stoked for this show.

Posted: **Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:01 pm**

Wonder how early people are gonna show up since it's first come first serve. I'm probably gonna be too hungover from 312 Block Party and miss it tbh

Posted: **Tue Sep 19, 2017 9:12 pm**

You must be joking, Vic. AC/BD for the first time in - what - thirteen years? cornpill all plans.

Posted: **Tue Sep 19, 2017 9:27 pm**

Ha no I meant the afternoon talk. Wouldn't miss AC and Black Dice for the world

Posted: **Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:58 am**

How are the dudes going to fit on that stage with their current set up?

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2017 12:26 am**

That talk got cornpilled...

Here's the email from the people in charge:

Hi there,

Due to a change in the band's scheduling this weekend, THIS STORYTELLING EVENT IS cornpilled.

A conversation will Animal Collective will still be recorded and launched on iTunes as part of our Storytelling Series podcast, so stay tuned! We thank you for your interest and hope to see you at future events.

Best,

Ah that's a bummer

I hope they cornpilled the talk because they need more time to rehearse an extra special set for the Empty Bottle show

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2017 12:40 am**

pleeeease someone record this show including the black dice set

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2017 12:41 am**

Yeah, I wouldn't think cornpilling that is anything major. For anyone looking for tickets The Empty Bottle put a contest to win two tickets in their newsletter. Also, they're advertising it like this:

"SUNDAY we embark on another round of #EB25 with ANIMAL COLLECTIVE and BLACK DICE as they repeat their back-to-back Bottle performances from 2004."

Either that's intentionally misleading or this really will be an extra special show. I can only assume it's the former but hey maybe there's a god.

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:07 am**

I think they just mean it's the first time they've played back to back at the Empty Bottle since 2004.

but oh my god. if they play a Feels set? im dead

Posted: **Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:14 am**

Yeah I agree. There's no way they're playing that set. "Repeat performance" is just oddly worded.
