Did they call the tour “7 years + 13 of” (instead of just “20 years of”) in reference/homage to Limousine or am I totally off base here?
re: the repeat line “7 loves you so much”?
Idk random thoughts leading up to tomorrow’s Toronto show lol
Detroit show VIPs
A time was had. A love story was made.
Thanks for the memories my 20 Reddit bffs.
Love the internet for this reason alone. Cheers to the girl who bought the suite and just prayed she recouped costs. Then let everyone pregame in her hotel room.
Cheers to the soft spoken dude who shared all his Michalab ultras.
Cheers to girl from fb who only made a Reddit account for this show then led us to some swanky ass bar with 40$ drinks. Then bought everyone’s first round in secret!?
Cheers to the guy who swooped me from chi town and drove me to Detroit so I didn’t have to take the midnight train. Then got some SEXY STEAKS with me. AND talked to me about valuing myself and sticking with therapy <3
Cheers to the exhausted group that couldn’t let the night end so they closed down a karaoke bar.
Cheers to nickleback. So for real right now. Cheers to both of you. Never would have expected to end the night with you both at 2am in a casino but there we were. Just met at a bar a few hours early. Barely spoke. Only sang. But you could tell how much the night meant to you guys and it was CONTAGIOUS.
Cheers to AUSTRALIA and Cowboy hats. And the girl from Portland who made sure I got walked back to my hotel ok. And we never stopped talking the whole way. And she had the best hst I ever saw don’t tell stupeeeedo.
Cheers to the pink hair girl who was fucking awesome.
Cheers to the kid from Canada who drove his motorcycle from Canada to the Chicago show to Detroit.
Cheers to the whole Canada gang!
Cheers to finally hearing the full story of the girl who made it to the Nashville show… but almost didn’t cause of a fake tix…. And getting to do a show with her.
Cheers to the crew who hopped into suite 8 so we could all have better views. And the wonderful girl who. Stood next to me and was only a vibe and never annoyed.
Cheers to you all who came with strangers to meet more strangers.
Omg there were more of you and I love you all.
SUITE 9 4ever!!!!
Merch this tour?
Anyone that’s been at any of the shows this tour so far, do you know if there was a merch table? I saw them last summer in Pittsburgh & they unfortunately didn’t have any merch. I’m hoping this tour they will. Any information (or pictures) would be amazing. Thank you
Tips for Philly/Mann (Going Solo)
I’m flying out for the Philly show from Utah. I’ve never been to Philly, and the dates worked a lot better than closer shows like Denver or Vegas, so I’m making a solo trip out of it. Super excited now that the show is only a week out!
Just wanted to know what I should be aware of when it comes to concerts at The Mann, etc. (travel to and from, when to get there, etc.) I've got a pit ticket, but all I know about the Mann is that the pit is a lot smaller than other venues.
What local favorites should I see when it comes to sight seeing/food? I'm staying in the historic district, so I'm planning on seeing some of the historical spots around, but am open to whatever seems interesting.
Group Chats: Las Vegas and San Francisco check-in here
I'm jealous that Denver has a group chat. Drop a message if saying if you're going to LV or SF and I'll start a group chat for each city.
Arrival time (I know I’m sorry)
First off I’m sorry to add to the influx of this exact type of post as I know they’re plentiful😂 but tmrw night is my first ever concert and first time seeing BN and I’m so excited but nervous lol. I’ll be in Toronto around noon tmrw and I already have 2 seat tickets but I’m unsure of arrival time. Since I have assigned seating I could essentially just show up like half hour before they start right since I don’t need to fight for a spot in the pit or anything ? And does anyone know if their merch will be available before so I can buy what I want and run it back to my hotel? Thank you!!!
I'm a new fan going to a concert!
My boyfriend LOVES their stuff so he's bringing me to a show and I want to do right. Other than the setlist, is there anything I should know before hand? I would especially appreciate help with what to wear. Thank you!!
How early Have people been lining up?
Title. Just want to know how early to get there for barricade. I'll be going to the VA Beach show!
Walking on vacation in Iceland and had to grab this Pic. Oc
I have a problem: series of events
Preface: when I bought tickets for the Chicago show, I told my husband “I won’t buy anymore concert tickets this year”
Flew all the way to Chicago for the 10/3 show. Had the best time. Got home. Got concert depression. Talked my husband into a second date. Requested time off of work. Got approved. Bought tickets. Guess I’m seeing them again in a couple weeks.
Not too bad of a problem to have.. but not the most responsible thing I’ve done lol. Oh well.
Modified Lyrics
I know that a majority of us who caught BN on tour last summer noticed that Jesse changed "girls" to "myself" on "Mixtape," but this fall tour has introduced us to some additional lyrical modifications:
"Degausser" - "No matter what they say, I have killed the king."
"Handcuffs" - "I'd drive my car to a bridge."
"Handcuffs" - "I'd hold myself down and I'd squeeze real soft."
Am I missing any?
Here's the annual question: will they play "Logan to Government Center" in Boston?
I would trade Failure by Design. I know they haven't typically played it.. maybe way back in the day. Here's to hoping!
Happy 25th birthday to Your Favorite Weapon!
YFW was released on October 9, 2001!
Recorded in New York, I felt it was appropriate to post this right as the clock struck midnight on the east coast. 🎉 🎂
Lighthouse Merch
Hi all! Does anyone have a photo wearing their lighthouse hoodie or beanie, or a photo of the flag tapestry up close or hung up?
I’m on the fence which piece to buy; would love more photos if anyone has! I’ve only seen each in that one persons initial pictures of what merch is available this round.
Ive been loving seeing everyone excited about the setlist and their remember when’s! Thanks in advance!
Looks pretty good in a frame. Just gotta make room on the wall now.
I personally dig the tour poster. I can see the complaints for sure, but it does go well with the other posters. My 2025 tour poster is back in Oregon, but I scored a green one and a foil version.
Detroit show VIPs?
There was a group of strangers throwing in on the VIP table or something of that nature. I expected a fairy tale ending with pictures and maybe even a love story in the making. What ever became of all that?
Came across the poem 'If-' by Rudyard Kipling today, had a nice surprise while reading it.
If-
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: ^([yeah])
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Anyone travelling to a show from the UK - big ask
If anyone could bring me a tour variant leaked demos vinyl back to the UK and mail it on to me, that’d be amazing. Drop me a message to coordinate. TIA
Alternatively, if any of my US buddies would mail it on to me at cost plus shipping, that would also work.
I do not support those flipping them on eBay for 4-5x cost price……
