On The Road / Ticket(s) wanted. Castleton 2/3rd oct

« Last post by kingmodule on August 10, 2026, 04:26:43 PM »

Hello,

New here.

Am after a ticket or 2.  For 1 or both nights at Castleton (not fussy!!!)

Only found out they were playing there a couple or weeks ago... imagine my surprise when
I saw they were sold out

What a location so thought I had to at least try and find a ticket (in NE bonny so a bit of a trek but would be worth it imo)


Anyway, have a spare ticket let me know!

HEAT (Michael Mann, 1995):

I saw HEAT yesterday in theaters, the second time I'd seen it on the big screen; the first time was 30 years ago—how time flies! There were about sixty people at the screening (in a 162-seat theater), and lots of young people discovering the film for the first time, so it was cool! The film still feels contemporary. I really like Amy Brenneman, Val Kilmer (RIP), Tom Sizemore (RIP), and De Niro is magnificent in this film. As Tarantino said, De Niro deserved an Oscar nomination for this film. I love the opening scene, the first action scene, Pacino and his team watching De Niro's face being "scanned" on the screen , the hotel, and the planes at the end (a nod to the end of "Bullitt"?), but my favorite scene is still that incredible, ethereal moment when Amy Brenneman and De Niro are in the car at the end, answering Jon Voight's call...

.. and HEAT is just terrific.  Possibly the best shoot-out scene ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if a new song or two turned up at the Christmas dates, it's been two and a half years since Unbroken came out.

Here's hoping that we get a new album in 2027!

I'm more optimistic because I imagined the band announcing the release of their new album after their last summer concert (August 29th), and therefore that some new songs would be played at the end of September and beginning of October at the concerts in Spain and then England! With a tour for this new album starting after the Christmas concerts, in February or March 2027!

@Guillaume
Of course this is for you but i think you already know this:

Newly titled MANHUNTER: THE FINAL CUT, the film returns in a stunning 4K restoration, supervised by Michael Mann and debuting on June 12 at the @academymuseum of Motion Pictures. The international premiere follows on June 24 @cinetecabologna (Il Cinema Ritrovato), ahead of the US release by @rialto.pictures, in addition to select territories from September.

I'm hoping the new album will be released in fall 2026. Fingers crossed.

After each concert in 2026, I check the Setlist website to see if any new songs are being played, but nothing so far! Maybe the new album will be recorded in September/October/November since there are only three concerts planned for those three months? Or maybe in 2027...that's a long way off!

Joe Banks "Rock and Role", looking at the career and songs of Peter Hammill. I was hacked off that I missed this when it was first published last year and it sold out pretty fast, but fortunately there's been a second print run. I've also got hold of a copy of his book on Hawkwind "Days of the Underground" which I'm keeping for Christmas.
