(leak talk in this thread)

Save one for Brighton! VIP frapp fan treatment! I still have one day left and Brighton is definitely my favourite place to spend that day on :-)

I decided to go to all of these! (Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Paris) Already bought gig tickets, and most of the train tickets. The only thing left is hotels as I doubt I will be able to live on the streets for 5 nights.

I dream of the day when Goldfrapp won't feel the need to play Ooh La La at every gig for the general public! An important thing I forgot to mention in my initial review: one of the photographers was very good looking: just the right amount of b…

According to him, you could get to the front just 30 minutes before the show, and the main stage was closed due to insufficient ticket sales - so Goldfrapp are on a smaller stage. And there are 4 confetti machines!

I wish they'd ditch Little Bird already, sorry Tweety, it's just doesn't fit in with anything other than Seventh Tree. Little Bird was perfect tonight! The extended outro was super-trippy with mini-lasers in our faces - it was a ve…
