In case you hadn't heard ;-)
This just in from the Frost Publicity Imp.
"Frost* are well chuffed to announce that we will be supporting Dream Theater at two shows in England this summer. These shows are:
12th June Leeds 02 Academy
13th June Southampton Guildhall
Dream Theater and Frost* fans will know that Mike Portnoy nominated Experiments in Mass Appeal as one of his favourite albums of 2008. Whilst we were were unable to take up the offer of playing on DT's Progressive Nation tour of the US this year, we're thrilled to be asked to play these shows following our appearance at RoSFest in May."
Woo hoo! Excellent!
Chuffing marvelous :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
What a bleedin' result Frost* at Southampton Guildy... my local :D
Mega!!
I'm living in the wrong country :(
Very jealous.
I can feel a full family weekend trip to Hampshire coming up!! :D :D :D
Wow - Jem & Nozza on the same bill! :D How many notes will get played each night?
Neither Leeds nor Southampton is exactly close but I must try to get to one of them. Miss DS (Snr) has been going on about seeing Frost* live for ages and she also likes some DT so she may get her wish this time.
O2 in Leeds. Kids under 14 allowed with an adult!
Bonus
Don't know what my lad would make of Dream Theater though.
I liked the first album, the second slightly less, and the third even less, all the others i've heard i couldn't stand for some reason.
Major result for me & Cosmic :mrgreen:
The Southampton gig is during the Isle of Wight Festival Weekend - I don't care WHO is headlining, we are making our way over to Southampton for the evening! Hey, maybe a spot in the Big Top at the IOW Festy the next day may be in order.....Jem - don't suppose you have John Giddings phone number on speed dial somewhere?...... 8-)
I've not been to either venue before - are they seated or standing ? Just wondering in terms of whether I need to try for somewhere specific when I get my tickets.
The Leeds one is a good location for going from work, and Southampton is more convenient from home, so thank you for arranging them on the correct days ;)
Totally Top News :D
rawk! lucky for all you over there!
And where do we get these tickets from please? :D
Excited already :)
I don't know about anyone else but I get all my DT news from the MP.com forums; the link there is to gigsandtours.com but there's nothing up right now. Probably Monday or something!
VERY cool! :mrgreen: 8-) :mrgreen: 8-) :mrgreen:

Me too. And flying is out of the question for me (due to recent events) :roll:
But it's very cool for all of you over-there. Have a smashing gig!! :)
Quote from: "Bokkie"Have a smashing gig!! :)
We will, thank you. Leeds I think for us.
Great news although either gig is a bit of a trek for me but I'm sure I'll make one if not both of them

Good question, all standing may be a problem for the younger ones.
Edited update.... Southampton Guildhall appears to have tiered stalls and a balcony... That'll do! :D :D
Ah fuck, I leave to go home on the 6th of June...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D :D :D :D

I'm definitely going to try to make the Leeds gig. Even if it destroys me and I have to sleep in a park over night!
No matter the price, I will buy a ticket. As long as they don't sell out and I miss it... It will not happen! See you in Leeds, chaps! :mrgreen:

Don't forget Lady In Red! ;)
Husband has just informed me that I'm not allowed out that weekend as he's planning to be away playing bridge then. I can feel a divorce coming on.

Then again, if played at the full raucous level it deserves and given favourable atmospheric conditions, I still may be able to hear it here on the west coast of Europe :D

Maybe Jem and Jordan can play dualling banjo's ;)
Let's skip the part where I explain in details just how psyched I am, like this slightly bizarre feeling of thiscan'tbetrueism this announcement gave birth to.
Suffice to say, I'll be at the Southampton gig with friends and probably my two brothers. Family trip all the way, yes gentlemen.
This is a dream come true for me... Many thanks to those who made it possible, this is gonna be one hell of a show, where I'll be cheering and crying like a 6 year-old girl ; you better come in numbers to see it.
Tickets on sale Tuesday 2 March - do you think we can half fill them with Frost* fans?

Does anyone know what the prices of the tickets are yet? I have a friend who's very anxious to go, but does not have Interweb access. (I know, in this day and age... :roll: )
Hey guys.. if you are on 02 you can get your tickets now from www.o2blueroom.co.uk (http://www.o2blueroom.co.uk) ...
the cost is £27.50 minus fees, i bought two and it cost me over 60 quid, 8 quid service charge!!! Grrr...
but in other news YEEEAAHHHH :D
This is fantastic news, awesome exposure for Frost* I'm really excited that a lot of people are gonna have a chance to check out Frost, I'm definitely going to the gig.
Damn I know I'm a little late to respond but I hope to god SOMEONE will record this, for the sake of God PLEASE!!! ;) Nothing wrong with a bootleg every now and again, lol.

You can get tickets now using the link above and you DON'T NEED to be on o2. Any mobile number seems to work. Go for it!
If you guys did that last year on the same dates I would have been around!
That is going to be one helluva concert.
Southampton tickets procured!! :D :D
yup got mine too :)
Can't wait!!!!
I am at work, so I have priorities.
Tickets now ordered for Leeds and Southampton :twisted:
Quote from: "Brom"Southampton tickets procured!! :D :D
Same here. Excitement level currently reaching untold heights.
Two tickets to each bought :D
I can't miss this for ANYTHING!
Southampton tickets successfully purchased from the helpful man at the box office. 8-)
For info it appears that the stalls will be standing... all the Frost*ies to the front please!
(Seating up in the tiered seats at the back.)
This is probably a good move, I saw Queensryche there last summer and the stalls were all seated, the problem being a bunch of people in the front few rows failed to get the hint that seats mean you sit down and stood through the whole thing which buggered things up somewhat for those behind. Luckily we were on an aisle seat so were not particularly affected.
So anyway standing is cool with me.
WHOO_HOOO! :D
As the Brom party will be of mixed ages and mixed "enthusiasm" - Mrs. B likes some of DTs stuff, but I can't really see her moshing!, then again I may be surprised. Anyway we will be giving our support from the balcony.
2 Southampton standing tickets ordered - Miss DS (Snr) gets to see her first Frost* gig!
See you down the front! :D :D
Two standing purchased for Southampton. Although I've no idea if I can actually make it yet, I have no desire to be left in the lurch by procrastination as I nearly was for the Peel (thanks again, Twang :D )
I'm embarrassed to admit that I bought mine via TicketBastard simply because I couldn't be bothered to work out the O2 mobile thingy, but I'll live, I suppose.
One question I have for people who know the Guildhall (CL?): my tickets are for the standing area, although I realise that there may be stalls. Row number is GA1 and the tickets 85-86; however, I suspect that means General Access and the 85th and 86th tickets sold, since there are no seats 85-86 in the seating plan. True? Will it be a general rush to the front and otherwise stand wherever you like ... ?
If true, then I also suspect that Frosties* have bought more than half the tickets sold thus far ... long may it continue :D
One more down the front in Southampton.... :D :D
I'm standing too. Sitting down through a whole show is definitely not for me, I need to express my enthusiasm with erratic hair movements :D

Yeah, you pretty much got it, a general rush for the front! :)
I expect it to look a bit like the end of Pedder's Toys vid, with all the Frost*ies lined up! :)

Yup, in terms of standing it's just an expanse for all us obsessed Frosties* to get right involved in :) It's a pretty good venue actually! There's a lovely little pub across the road as well we could all go to afterwards that's open late :)
I propose a Frost*ie mexican wave for Southampton! Hey, we'll all look like we're in Pedro's video swaying about in our Frost* tops at the front of the stage :) (I was writing this whilst Cosmic was writing his - we have two computers - spooky!)
If you'd rather call for tickets at Southampton Guildhall here's the box office number: 02380 632601
I think the last standing gig I went to there was Alice Cooper last July and it was roasting, you can sit on the carpeted floor whilst you're waiting for the band though. The balcony seating is ok, as is tiered, it's obviously a way back from the stage but you should catch everything. For anyone travelling by train just hop off at Southampton Central Station and it's literally a short walk across the road to the Guildy. We'll be coming straight from the IOW Festival so see you there - I must say, I'm bloody excited already! :mrgreen:

Sounds good to me ... both the Free Frostie* Bopping Zone down the front (I recall the Summer's End gig where we managed to get the floor a-bouncing collectively :D ), plus the pub too. That said, if I do make it, I'll be facing a 2.5 hour drive home afterwards, so it'll be a St Clement's for me ... :(
I'm in the "keen to hear DT too" camp though; never have live, although methinks it'd be too much to ask for a full performance of Metropolis Pt. 2, eh? ;)

I used to be a huge DT fan but the last few albums have left me a bit cold unfortunately. They're normally good value live though.
Interestingly, they do have a reputation for supporting up and coming bands and boosting them onto the next level. First time I saw DT, the support band was Spock's Beard. On the next tour, support was Porcupine Tree. I rest my case! Jem, you'd better get ready to shift a shed-load (Cube-load?) of CDs and t-shirts!

Ironically it'll probably be a two hour wait for a ferry for us, even though we're literally just over the water if you miss the 11pm the next one is 1am and it takes an hour to get back over to the Island - so you'll probably be in bed before us!
Thanks for reminding me of the bouncing floor at Summer's End - I remember me and Cosmic exchanging glances when we realised it wasn't the bass making the floor bounce!
A quick word of warning about Southampton Guildhall - when they convert the stalls into standing only, the balcony starts a good 3/4 of the way back - so even if you're in the front row, that stage is going to be quite a long way away.
Mind you, sounds like most of you have gone for standing ones anyway! I'll see you there... :D
Holy moly!
I've been out of the loop for a while, I come back to find this?! Effing excellent! :D
Is anyone else going to the Leeds gig? I don't want to be the only Frost*ie down the front bopping away... :(
Quote from: "Mouse"Is anyone else going to the Leeds gig? I don't want to be the only Frost*ie down the front bopping away... :(

Ermmm the balcony moves??? :? :)
Quote from: "Brom"Ermmm the balcony moves??? :? :)
Tee hee! No, it's always in the same place, but if there's seating in the stalls, then the back section of the stalls is tiered, and sort of marries up with the seats that form the balcony - I don't think that the 'balcony' ever actually overhangs anything - it just forms one long tiered section. So you can see why 'front row of the balcony' is not exactly a hot ticket in this particular venue.
That said, it's pretty good for atmosphere - I've been to some cracking gigs there, and I'm looking forward to this particular one immensely! :D
:D just booked five tickets for south hampton and booked in at the holliday inn came to a tidy few bob but money well spent i say, cant wait . :D
Quote from: "Mouse"Is anyone else going to the Leeds gig? I don't want to be the only Frost*ie down the front bopping away... :(
I will be at the Leeds gig - I'll be easy to spot because I'll be the one in the Frost* tshirt...erm, the Frost* hoodie...
OMFG!!!! :shock:

Just noticed from Jem's Twitter feed that TBE will be playing the two DT gigs in the UK. And I thought we'd seen the back of him ... ;)
The feed also mentions the possibility of another couple of DT support gigs likely to be in Europe with Alex playing.
Where, Jem? Where?

First : I was really hoping to see Andy there, so the aforementioned excitement level yet reaches new heights !
Second : YEAH, WHERE ?! 'Cause if you plan on opening for DT in France (though no gigs are currently announced except the Hellfest), I know quite a large bunch of people who would definitely join me there :)
Anyway, this is starting to become a truly awesome year for Frost* !
Well, tickets ordered... should be a few of us travelling down from the northern reaches (Central Scotland to our friends ;))... looking forward to it :)
Leeds tickets ordered. Pondering whether to make a weekend of it and go to Soton too ?

From Andy Edward's blog today :D
MONDAY, MARCH 09, 2009
Likwid Tenshun Xperimants in Mass Appeal
Frost will be 'special guests' of prog metal giants Dream Theater on selected dates on their up and coming summer tour.
I have decided to come out of my gigging semi-retirement and so I will playing drums on some of these with my old Frosty chums.
The dates I'm playing on will be...
12th June Leeds 02 Academy
13th June Southampton Guildhall
There may be some more dates in Europe, and I'm hoping my old mate Alex Thomas will be playing on these, watch the Frost website for more details.
Where can I get tickets for the leeds gig? Have my Southampton ticket but tried using the link on the gigs page of this site and it takes me to the O2 Academy Leeds site which doesn't seem to have the gig listed :?
Nevermind got them from the link on the DT site
Quote from: "Neilgwhite"From Andy Edward's blog today :D
... There may be some more dates in Europe ...
Oooh yes I hope so :D I'm still not over the fact that the Dutch gigs are cancelled :cry:
Leeds flavoured tickets ordered this morning; Me, Mrs Pedro and my gig buddy. :D
Looking forward to giving DT their first watching/listening....by me, that is!
Quote from: "Pedro"Looking forward to giving DT their first watching/listening....by me, that is!
You may like or dislike their music, but DT on stage is still something to be seen, really. I've seen them three times (four if I include LTE), and they managed to be amazing each time, in different fashions. Their most recent releases were, well, let's say it wasn't a good as what they did during the pre-SFAM era. But on stage you can still feel the magic :)
Another thing checked off my to do list for these gigs hotel in Leeds booked, Travelodge on Vicar Lane less than half a mile from the venue £29 for a twin room for one night.
Now just have to figure out how I'm getting there then from there to Southampton then home from there probably require a place to stay in Southampton too.
For fans of the TBE ... great news that we have 2 more chances to see Andy in action with the band ... Southampton or Leeds ? arrgghhh both as inconvenient as each other.
DT Live - awesome!
Frost* Live - Uber Awesome!
DT & Frost* Live Together - Brain Can't Compute Just How Awesome!

Did a bit of research today and the O2 Academy in Leeds is apparently what became of a nightclub called "Creation" on Cookridge Street.
Thanks to the geek-fest that is the dubiously nosey GoogleCar, here is a street-level image of the building....
(//http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o265/waitepb/5702811a.jpg)
Looks like a good sized venue, my anticipation is building again... :D
Sweet :D
I've got 2 gig buddies making the trip with me, so will be a good laugh on the drive down from Glasgow to the gig :D
Can't wait :D
Isn't Google street view the coolest thing on the internet since, well, the last thing about 5 minutes ago ? :D
I'm still trying to look in my own window and see me, looking at me.
How recursive is that?
A friend at work took a camera-phone picture of the Google car when it "did" Nottingham and yesterday he showed me the corresponding picture the Google car took of him taking the picture! :)

In other news, I have booked hotel for Leeds gig. Is there a pre-show get together happening ?
I'm afraid my burgeoning Twitter habit means I've lost the thread of the, errr, threads hereabouts so apols if referenced elsewhere. :)
Is anyone planning to do both gigs? I'm trying to assess the feasibility of drivig from Ramsgate to Leeds and then to Southampton and back again... I fear my poor car will die.

I have tickets for both but haven't sorted out my travel arrangements yet I spoke to Keith D
but he's unsure yet which one if any he's going to, if you are doing both mate I'll happily accompany you on the drive from Leeds to Southampton

Hurrah! Just ordered tickets for me & my two mates for the Leeds gig :D
My Leeds tickets turned up at the weekend and is now safely in an envelope with my Southampton ticket :D
Just sorted out train tickets to from Neath to Leeds and Southampton - Neath.
Originally it was looking like £98 from Neath to Leeds and £78 Southampton - Neath which I wasn't to thrilled about, but looked at catching later trains than I originally asked for and ended up with Neath - Leeds £33 get into Leeds around 16:40 on the 12th and Southampton - Neath £11 :D although it does mean spending most of the Sunday in Southampton and not leaving till 20:50, I can think of worse places to spend the day :lol:

Hi James I still it's still a fairway off but any idea if this is still possible? Not sure if you've got tickets for both as I know Southampton is showing as sold out now.
Reason I ask is that train tickets from Leeds - Southampton are available for £32.50 at the moment but I know these are limited and won't be available long and once the advance tickets have gone the price rockets to over £100.
Cheers
Mike
Good point, Mike... I guess since the tickets are sold out now, it's very unlikely we'll be able to make Southampton, so sorry - I should have let you know!
:(
No problem and could have sworn I'd sent that as a PM and not posted it here oops :lol:
Nice avatar by the way, Mike! :D
Thanks Mouse bigger version on the thread I posted in the Frost* section
