Yes they are but not Dublin (well not announced anyway)

Tickets are on sale on 15th September I think.

Magazine : 2009


Magazine, one of Britain’s most influential bands, are to reform
for just two concerts in February 2009.
Original members Howard Devoto, Dave Formula, Barry Adamson
and John Doyle are to be joined by an as yet unnamed guest guitarist,
to walk in the not inconsiderable footsteps of the departed, and sadly missed, John McGeoch.
It is the first time Magazine have played live together since 1980.
They are to play The Forum, London on February 13th & The Academy,
Manchester on February 14th. Tickets are released next Monday,
the 15th of September from the venue box offices and usual suspects.

The Forum / 0844 847 2405 / www.kentishtownforum.com
The Academy / 0161 832 1111 / www.ticketline.co.uk

Enduringly credible, Magazine have always been the connoisseur’s
choice and have been frequently name checked by some of the most
gifted musicians of recent years including Radiohead, Morrissey,
Jarvis Cocker, U2 & Maximo Park. This year, NME.com included
Magazine in a poll as one of the most influential bands of all time.
Magazine’s front man, Howard Devoto co-formed Buzzcocks with
Pete Shelley after the pair had seen the Sex Pistols in early 1976 and
promoted the now legendary Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall gigs.
Devoto left in 1977, after the seminal “Spiral Scratch” EP had been
released, and created Magazine. Their first record was the post-Punk anthem “Shot By Both Sides”.
Four ground breaking albums later and the band had parted company,
leaving behind an influential body of work which was re-released by Virgin EMI last year to critical acclaim.
The concerts are being staged in association with The Gig Cartel
and Wire–Sound and will be recorded for possible release later in 2009.

PS> that recent picture? -- well, dear god please help us! :D

i have just bought some tickets fer magazine of the following website and as far as am aware its kosher because a got it via the manchester academy website it is

https://secure.ticketline.co.uk/event/

so a hope its reet 23 pound odd per ticket

anybody used this website before and im sure the london tickets are availible via ents24

am worried now bah

im hanging on till monday. youve got a long time to wait for tixs samiy, hope they arrive.

have emailed them and they stated the following


I have spoken to the setup department and have been informed that these tickets were put on sale by mistake at the incorrect time however these tickets are still valid as we are the main sellers for the Academy.

but am unsure and will most likely ring em up. Mainly am worried about treking home booking tickets fer hotels and trains and then avin egg on me face! A was all smug when a bought them hahah

Samiy why are you worried? I've just booked tickets via the same place as you, Ticket Line, and they've been confirmed. I've also booked tickets for the London show via a text tickets website. If you go the Manchest Academy website it says pre-sale tickets are available from Ticket Line so thbere's really no need to worry. In fact you should be celebrating that you've scored tickets for what will be a tough show to get tickets for.

yeh think am just worrying because a know its a once in a life time thing fer me. Ana rung them and they said the ticket was reet, am more relieved that you av bought tickets through ticketline ta a know am bein a spud

I will be on hols when they go on sale on monday but when I found out about the presale I got a friend to nip into manchester and he paid for and got a reciept for ticket which I need to show when I pick tickets up from ticketline so all should be fine, By the way ticketline is in the ZAVVI store so all legit

Just booked tickets :)
Now, who else will be going?

I wish i was :(

:( That's a pain. I can't see why they aren't doing Edinburgh/Glasgow and Dublin, surely there are enough fans!

I'll be there. I've had to alter my travel plans for this one, but it's all worked out fine (fingers crossed!).

yeyyy am coming down fer it now its just the tedious side of planning hotels and grabbin them cheap train tickets! Absolutely cant wait it has totally made me chuffed more than the gigs that i ave up coming!

got tixs!!! be great if magazine returned with a new single & mozzer cover for its b-side

£23 each not including booking fee or posting, it comes out at about £27.00 each...once enough. buzzcocks are playing mcr academy and they are only charging £23 & they are a better band in my opinion

Sady I'm hoping to be away for the week of the whole reunion shebang but they'll probably play some festivals in the summer still.....

Anyway I went on Seetickets and you can order a max of 10 pp for the new Manc date. E-bay ruined my life springs to mind particularly if demand is outstrippping supply. Wankers

Linder will be there on the Tuesday in Manchester only. :(

With much regret I've decided to sell my ticket for the Magazine gig at Manchester Academy on Saturday 14th of Feb. ~ with all the up-coming Morrissey expenses I just can't afford an extra trip to lovely Lancashire. I'm selling it for £30. If interested PM me.

Magazine played the warm up gig last night. I've heard good things!

They have started to release production tickets on a day-by-day basis. So keep checking ticketmaster.

anyone know who is supporting them friday (london) and saturday (manchester)..

No, but see you Saturday!

According to Time Out, supporting band is Ipto Facto.

Ipso Facto, that is!

They are also providing some backing vocals for Magazine.

just had a listen to the tracks on myspace - worth getting to gig early catch them i think ;-)

I was there :D
Good things indeed.

Just got back from the gig, absolutely fantastic!!

Manchester will be on fire tomorrow!

(very pleased that the bus arrived on time and managed to catch Morrissey on JR).

:) Brilliant.

May I ask how long it lasted? I'm just thinking of transport arrangments.

They started 21:15, finished around 22:40-45.
Enjoy the gig tomorrow. :)

Thank you, I will. :)

I'll be there.

Tonight is Magazine in MCR yahoo!!!

Sounds good, i really should've got my arse into gear.

Will they ever come to the U.S.? I don't blame them if they don't...they're sort of obscure here. It'd be such a dream if they did though.. "Sweet Heart Contract" is just such a cool song.

Last night (Manchester Academy) was great. I've never seen the place so full. All those old men (just like me!).

they play in glasgow tomorrow night :guitar:

they play in glasgow tomorrow night :guitar:

Are you going?

Last night (Manchester Academy) was great. I've never seen the place so full. All those old men (just like me!).
I felt so young.:o
Then again, I suppose everyone did. :)

They were brilliant and I still can't hear anything.

Great gig and a possible nod to Mozz as the intoduction to "Song from under the floorboards" was "Stop me if youve heard this one before"

I was late getting there and just made it in as Magazine came onstage so stayed right at the back but sounded great, and yes so many old men (like me ) ha ha, but next to me a guy so pissed he sat down and fell asleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well sure he will think he had a great night ha ha:crazy:

Trouble Loves Me:)

And before they came on half of 'Last of the Famous...' was played, before it was cut. :p

Jukebox Jury

I've been incredibly lucky and have seen the four gigs this week - I loved Manchester the most thanks to the intensity of the crowd. Magazine have proved to be everything I was promised and the rest.

Any of you with the chance of Glasgow or Manchester on Tuesday :D

I'm tempted to go to the Glasgow show tomorrow.

what i can say about magazine @ mcr saturday night? great? no how about fantastic. i really enjoyed the reading. howard has an "interesting" voice (like tim booth or Morrissey). Sold out gig with a nice selection of songs and double encore! i'd forgotten how good they were....magic! im sure they will be on tour later this year but id go see them if you have chance! it maybe your last ;)

I'm tempted to go to the Glasgow show tomorrow.

So am I but im working... but i could still go.

Does anyone have any full concert recordings of any of the reunion gigs so far? Please oblige for a young American fan! :p

It would be glorious if Magazine (or at the very least Luxuria :rolleyes:) came to America :thumb:

not seen any online just cd-r (none upload) send us a pm if youre interested
