Anyone going?

That sounds like something i would go to.

I'm dying to see Beirut again but 88 fr. is a bit steep (I also love The National but I've seen them a billion times) plus festival shows are never as good.

Same here with The National, but it'll be one of my first Swiss gigs so want to start on a high! I think the combination of them and Beirut will make it just about worth the 88 francs. Have either played in Zurich before, do you know?

They both played Mascotte in November 2007 but I don't think either have been back since (apart from for Festivals).

A lot of bands seem to avoid Switzerland on European tours, I guess due to bookers in Switzerland not being quite on the ball.

I'll be there. such a great line-up. i saw beirut at mascotte ages ago, and they were absolutely amazing. likewise, the national - saw them twice last year and they were brilliant.

I am going to, looking forward to seeing Warpaint !

If you like the national and beirut, you might also like....
