Brian Wilson/Al/Blondie No Pier Pressure Tour, Summer 2015

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

Hi folks,

I saw there was a thread for the UK leg of the tour but not the US leg, so thought I'd start up a general thread. (If the mods want to combine them, by all means go ahead.)

It looks like tickets for Jones Beach 6/30 are available through presale on Live Nation, but you need a code to get through.
(I tried signing up on brianwilson.com where an email of the code is promised, but didn't receive it.) Anyone know the code?

Check your spam folder. That's where mine went to. It's an individual code for each email address.

I went ahead and bought two tickets for Atlanta, even though I have no need for a second download of the album. I'm going to be working the day that tickets go on sale, so it's worth the extra 10 or 20 bucks for me not to have to stress over it.

Holy sh*t these tickets are expensive.  Cheapest seats are still over $100?

It looks like a number of the summer dates have presales going on--

Depends on the venue. The Atlanta show is $59 - $69.

As there are some female vocalists on the new album, has there been any word if perhaps they or another vocalist may tour this year with Brian?

$58 after fees for the seats that I paid $73 for through the presale that claimed that it was only $10 over ticket cost. I can't help but feel a tiny bit cheated since I have no use for more than one download of the album.

And hell. I'm buying TWO physical copies...why in the hell would I want to pay for a download? It'd be nice if they had a ticket package where it was just the damn ticket.

Still going...I think. Just sticker shocked.

If I had it to do over, I'd just wait for the general public sale. At least I have good seats, though. First row of the balcony, which is important for my short girlfriend that always seems to be stuck behind tall people at concerts.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Wait...there's still going to be a general public sale? Good enough for me...I'm gonna wait then.

[thatjacob]

At least for Atlanta. I haven't bothered to check for other dates.

Or... plan C: don't do those tracks. 

[Emdeeh]

General public sale for Atlanta is April 17th, at 10 a.m.

I got my tickets via presale, but am second-guessing myself, seeing as the tickets are for 20th row -- still, there are no bad seats in the Fox.

I wouldn't imagine Brian will do a TON of songs from NPP on the tour. So there are enough tracks with he, Blondie, and Al to work from. I can't imagine adding another female vocalist purely to sing one or two new album songs.

And should 'On The Island' or another become a hit? Its the only Brian solo song with a video (I think???) so maybe some think it could happen.

Didn't Blondie come out and do just that a few years ago?

[Wirestone]

They'll probably do the Beautiful Day / Last song medley we saw on Kimmel, Sail Away and The Right Time. Maybe Half Moon Bay, too.

I'm waiting for the general sale just because the tickets I pulled up weren't great and I refuse to pay for a download of an album I'll be buying on vinyl and cd.

Matt Jardine was just announced as being back in the band for this tour on facebook.

That's great! 

[ontor pertawst]

Fantastic news! He sounded great in Vegas and on NPP, good to have both Jardines with BW.

[Mendota Heights]

This will make Brian's band better than ever.

In other news, Mike Love has been spotted rooting through the Wilson's dumpster looking for more falsetto table scraps.

No Florida dates?
