The National

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I saw them together once - at the 2011 Beacon Theatre run.

Nice! I would be all over this. I saw The National open for open for The Arcade Fire. Around the time of The Suburbs/High Violet. That was probably one of my best 1-2 punch shows I ever attended.

Since it looks like there may be more shows announced in the not too distant future, I'll share what a friend in the business told me a while back. He had no real details regarding dates, and I'm not sure if it's a co-headlining tour, but the word is that The Nats are shopping around larger theatres (I'm guessing like Radio City size) for a tour leg with War on Drugs. He promised to keep me updated if he hears anything - I will reach out just in case. His info is always spot on.

That would be amazing! And might be the only way I could ever convince my wife to go to a National show with me!

They are both playing the same night at Bourbon and beyond. Maybe that tour would be around that time.

That’s an amazing line up.

I saw The National open up for Modest Mouse and REM. I would very much like to go to a National/War On Drugs show and might actually like go if they are close enough and whatnot.

I saw this show, too. My first time seeing all three bands!

I took my brother for his birthday. REM is one of his all time favorites. I had some knowledge of Modest Mouse. I had never heard of The National.

That tour was my last ever REM show and first The National show. Saw them at The Mann Ctr in Philly, an off night between a bunch of Pearl Jam shows in the area. We were hoping that EdVed would show up, since PJ were playing two nights that week just across the river in Camden.

Incredibly fortunate to have front row thanks to the REM fan club. Three songs in to REM’s set, my husband spotted Ed side stage and he ended up coming out for Begin the Begin.

Apparently, Ed and Jeff were sitting behind us, in front of the soundboard during Modest Mouse’s set.

War on Drugs + The National would be peak Sad Dads and might make my head explode. I wonder if that means War on Drugs has a new album due out soon. I hope so.

If we could somehow manage to get The Walkmen on this billing it would be sad dad perfected.

Sadly, we missed their most recent NJ / NYC shows, but did see them at Homecoming. Such a great set!

I saw that REM / Modest Mouse/ National tour in 2008 too - first time I ever heard of them too!

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

Bartees stranges ep of national covers, say goodbye to pretty boy, is getting a repress

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

as i hoped:

Returning to Australia for the first time in six years, The National have decided to do something extra special for Melbourne fans ... They will perform two completely different sets across each night!

Came here to ask this. This feels like it'll be a pricer set of shows than usual for them. It's probably worth it, but it's annoying to pay upwards of $100 per ticket with fees to see bands nowadays.

Plus it sounds like there's some add on for cherry tree members to see sound check? Will be interesting to see how much the add on is

Nothing close to me which is fine since the fall is always a busy time and I've seen both bands lately.
