Dear Pissants & Prongers!
On Tuesday, November 13, 2007 we will be announcing all the details
for the North American leg of C U LaTouR 2008 including:
*Touring Line-Up
*Dates/Venues
*Support
*Opening Act
*Pre-Sale Ticketing
On Thursday, November 15, 2007, Pre-sale ticketing for the C U LaTouR begins via Music Today. This is an exclusive pre-sale targeted to Ministry fans. On-sale to the public begins December 1, 2007.
Via the Pre-sale, we are offering 100 limited edition VIP tickets for each show on the tour exclusively to Ministry fans before public on-sale.
The North American C U LaTouR is a limited engagement tour, so I encourage The Piss Army to take advantage of this Pre-sale. This will be your last chance to see Ministry LIVE in the US and Canada.
Stay tuned HERE for the tour announcement and also the Music Today
link.
That’s right, he has that new project on 13th Planet. I still say the opener should be Ministry Side Projects - RevCo/Pailhead/1000 Homo DJs/Lard…won’t happen, but would look a lot better on the handbill.
Ascention of the…bell’s side-project (think that’s the name, I forget) seems possible. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Prong as support either. Likely nothing to get our hopes up about, but who knows anything these days…?
regardless. I am going to wait until I find out the setlist before I buy anything. The last time they came to Montreal the scalpers were selling the tickets for 5-10$ outside the door. I may use their services…
Although, if that was the case, they may not come here at all… watch it be some kick ass old school setlist too…
I’m one who will go only if there’s a really, REALLY cool stelist, like Twitch and LORAH material thrown in there. but since it probably won’t be like that, I have 0% interest in going. thanks for posting it though.
$100+ ticket prices, guess you gotta work for love.
This seems to be the new sad trend. 2 other shows I’ve gone to recently also offered a $100-$150 VIP packages with meet and greets and faggy gift bags.
If they would actually play in Detroit I’d probably go check them out but they are playing 25 miles outside the city which would make my drive unbearable.
I wouldn’t drop $100 on a Ministry show, but I’m sure the standard tickets will hover around $20 depending on your venue.
I like Ministry AND Meshuggah, so that works for me.
For its spectacular two-and-a-half-hour “C U LaTouR”
set, Ministry will perform tracks from “The Last Sucker” as well as songs that revisit the band’s rich and provocative 30-year musical history.
This tells me two things.
#1 - 30 year history: 2008-30=1978
This must mean they will be playing stuff from WS and Twitch.
#2 - Provocative
Means (and I’m being generous here), that they will play nothing after HOTM
I’ve seen a couple of articles where it’s stated that Ministry will play songs that ‘span their 30-year history’ - but that’s a pretty broad statement, if you think about it. I think LORAH is as far back as they go. The long set (2-1/2 hours I’m reading) probably just gives them more time to fit back in songs from Filth Pig, DSOTS, and Animositisomina. Why play Wax Trax/Twitch material, when he can fully appease the metalheads? I do think there’s a 1/1000 chance that they break out We Believe again, since that song was recently re-visited. Otherwise, 88-08 (surely they’ll squeeze in a couple of Cover Up songs).
