Arcade Fire, you've just been confirmed to play the NZ Big Day Out gig on January 18, 2008. While we are ecstatic to hear that you are coming to NZ, we have to warn you of this: The Big Day Out is a huge, sprawling messy pulp fest which markets itself to the younger music fans or bogans who want to rock year in and out to Rage Against the Machine. Arcade Fire deserve their own show and you can have the best of both worlds. Play the Big Day out for the industry kudos, money and exposure but please, also consider a solo gig for your fans.

I have sent a formal proposal to the tour promoters outlining the demand for an intimate venue setting. While awaiting their reply I am currently compiling a list of potential indoor locations that would better serve the sound quality required for a full headline set.

The current volume of interest is being compiled into a formal document to be delivered to the management team. I have initiated contact with booking agencies in Auckland to explore the feasibility of a standalone venue booking.

BDO is way too loud and crowded to actually hear the music. Need a proper venue for these guys please!

PLEASE!! Saw them in london and it was magic. Big Day Out is a total waste of money if you actually care about the songs.

Totally agree. Cant stand the mosh pits at those festivals. Just want to actually see the band play without getting crushed.
