Dapper indie-pop sensations Phoenix will indeed return to Australia in March 2010. The band is set to play four headline shows on this visit, graduating to upsized venues in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

Fans lucky enough to secure tickets to Phoenix’s brief jaunt here in August can attest to the live charms of new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Teamed with gold-plated hits like Everything Is Everything, Run Run Run and Long Distance Call, the set-lists won’t lack singalong moments.

Phoenix plays these shows in March 2010, supported by Miami Horror. Tickets on sale Thursday 10 December.

Monday March 1 – Brisbane Convention Centre
Tuesday March 2 – Sydney Hordern Pavilion
Friday March 5 – Melbourne Festival Hall
Saturday March 6 – Perth Belvoir Amphitheatre

Looks like it's a race between Sydney and Melbourne for a second gig on the 3rd or 4th.

I am completely dumbstruck. I didn't even know the last record was selling well, let alone they sold out their last tour.

Do they have a hit single or something?

Faux V Fest 2010????

I reckon Lisztomania is a definite Hottest 100 Top 10 chance.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 26th Nov, 2009

So that's the "hit"?
I'll have to check it out.

I don't hate this band, for the record - It's Never Been Like That is a cute album.

Whether you like them or not, how did you not know this?

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 26th Nov, 2009

Because I am getting far too old for this shit.

He's been too busy hating Kasabian.

You underestimate the 'danceable, clean, pleasant, inoffensive stuff you can put on at parties' market.

euh, festival hall sucks.

"I hate you so much it gives me energy! I have to get up early in the morning because there's not enough time in the day to hate you!"

Then why isn't Camera Obscura selling out the Hordern?

Triple J killed 1901 before that one. A far better song in my opinion too.

The Great Monkey War

^ I've heard Fences a couple of times on Triple J. As well as a recording of the concert at the Enmore.

Love Like a Sunset was the highlight of the gig, suprisingly enough. Was epic.

Miami Horror supporting? Thats my biggest surprise. I do like them though. :)

This makes me happy.

shazie said on the 27th Nov, 2009

Awesome! Wish it was the enmore though, not too much of a fan of horden

mondo22

mondo22 said on the 28th Nov, 2009

agreed.
really loved the song until it became overkill.
but i will probably like it when i get around to listening to it again because it's been a while now.
when i first heard it, it made me feel like i was in the summer of 06/07 when life was simple and good times kept rolling.

kinksta said on the 30th Nov, 2009

id totally go if i had the cash too many good bands touring. also its nice to see miami horror opening, catcall sucked at the palace

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 30th Nov, 2009

Any idea how much this'll cost?
$60+?

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 30th Nov, 2009

If it's the Hordern 65 - 75 dollars, my estimate.

temper said on the 30th Nov, 2009

The Hordern show is $80+bf.
I like them, but probably not $80-at-the-Hordern much.

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 30th Nov, 2009

Wow,that's shithouse.

snapcrackleROCK

What's with the sudden band inflation? Dead Weather was over $90 (Bris) with bf.

JackT

JackT said on the 1st Dec, 2009

Around 80 is what I was expecting.

sarcasm_mister said on the 2nd Dec, 2009

bought my tickets this morning. it better be worth the$80-freken-dollars i paid. im expecting a two hour spectacular and every person in the audience gets a cute french girl to take home.

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 2nd Dec, 2009

But the article says on sale December 10th?

andy_chalmers_102

andy_chalmers_102 said on the 2nd Dec, 2009

Pre-sale began today. Got my ticket easily, but I'm now faced with the daunting task of convincing a friend that Phoenix is worth $80.

Jose Cuervo

Jose Cuervo said on the 2nd Dec, 2009

They really aren't.....they are entertaining live n all, but not $80 worth it.

andy_chalmers_102

andy_chalmers_102 said on the 2nd Dec, 2009

Yeah, they probably aren't. Wolfgang is probably my favourite album of 2009 though, so I'm definitely not passing up an opportunity to see them live.

mondo22

mondo22 said on the 3rd Dec, 2009

i agree with Jose.
i really wanted to see them when they come round again, but not for 85 bucks.
same goes for Mars Volta.
would also love to attend that show, but not going to happen at 80 dollar ticket prices.

overpriced gigs have gotta shit you

how'd you get onto presale? my mates are keen to go and were wondering

mars volta live is worth it.

also considering the recent setlist they've been playing (5 songs from de-loused etc.)

not sure if i'll go, i love them though.

it's that 80 dollar kick to the teeth holding you back isnt it?

Ticketmaster says "Amadeus" is the codeword.
This might be just for WA though.

lanesra23

lanesra23 said on the 8th Dec, 2009

$40 with a support slot for Children Collide would have seen me there with bells on. $80 with Miami Horror just makes me cringe.

pac man said on the 8th Dec, 2009

horden gigs are getting expensive.... crooked vultures at over $100 i dont care who you are. $60 = horden, $100 + = Entertainment centre.

Maybe if your user name was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or similar, your pricing expectations wouldn't be decades out of date.
