There’s a £1 per ticket EIF booking fee, so be aware that it’ll be an extra £1 for each ticket you buy on top of the ticket price.

Setlist?

With their last performance having been on the Boaty Weekender, their setlist for Friday night could follow a similar setlist.

At the Boaty Weekender, they played:

- It’s all in my mind

- God knows it’s true

- Everything is falling apart

- Hold on

- Catholic education

Concerty has created what they think the probably setlist will be based on previous concerts:

- About you

- Start again

- The cabbage

- Everything is falling apart

- Only with you

- Catholic education

- Alcoholiday

- The darkest part of the night

- Your love is the place where I come from

- Planets

- Verisimilitude

- I don’t want control of you

- It’s a bad world

- I’m in love

- My uptight life

- The concept

It also predicts that, should there be an encore, Teenage Fanclub will play:

- The fall

- Everything flows
