May 26th, (my 22nd birthday!) will be the first time I will be not only in London, but out of the U.S. (I have never visited even Canada). What should I expect out of this show and venue? I have seen the Chems play 3 times at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, and twice DJ. I am hoping for even better than those killer shows.

here is my tip for brixton (from my experience with orbital)... don't go to the front straight away because it is an old theatre. this means that the floor is sloped towards the stage. with your drunken rambling you will find yourself at the front of the stage whether you like it or not. it's just gravity





well hope this helps. oh yer when at the front you can B-Line it straight to the toilet on the left.





also with the sloped floor this means it's a mission to get back to the bar. you need a guirka guild to set up camp half way up
