Tickets voided/refund given for Montreal show

I suddenly got a refund today through PayPal for I bought for the Montreal concert. I didn’t see anything about the show being cancelled. I bought the tickets almost a month ago. Not sure the reasoning.

Curious on guitar

I'm not an experienced guitarist at all but I really like the song. Is there any chance someone here can help me figure out how to play Alex's live guitar version? Like the chords and notes he plays.

https://youtu.be/AAa80R1uRZw?feature=shared

So far the tabs and tutorials I've found focus more on the studio version and Dino's guitar. I'd really appreciate the help.

Did you know there is a Dutch based parody band of Franz Ferdinand called Frendz Ferdinand?

It's apparently a Dutch tribute band of Franz Ferdinand, here is their cover of Take me Out, I think they nailed it sort of

Festival Season?

I'm noticing the 2025 US Dates miss many of the major midwest cities in a number of states. Do we think they will make a return to Lolla or astop at SummerFest?

Hey! I’m traveling to Glasgow at the end of October and was wondering if there’re any must-see places as a Franz Ferdinand fan?

Thank you very much!

are tickets actually finished or they haven't actually starting selling them?

I'm trying to get tickets for the Milan show and I could only find a site with suspiciously low amount of tickets, that costed 100 more than the not available ones on all the other normal sites...
