Almost Acoustic?

I’m coming to LA for almost acoustic with my parent as I am a minor. I was wondering how long the whole thing usually is and what the order or bands might be like as I do not want to annoy my parent by being there for so long with them. Also, how long are breaks between bands usually?

To Franz Ferdinand

I just wrote this to the guys on their social media. "Hey guys. I recently saw you in Mexico but you're coming back soon right? Because your new album hasn't been released yet so you have to come to officially promote that album right?"

Help a lil’ old lady Make a Wish w way to find/buy seated tix at the Anthem show in DC 4/7/25

Ok not really Make a Wish per se; I’m not dying, just shameless.

Looking for leads for an honest buy. This is a Top 10 band for me and my knees are so sore. 👵🏼All I’ve seen on the usual sites are GA floor.

^(will recite poems for affordable tickets)

Alex and Julian live acoustic at radioeins

Sooo worth a listen. Whole lot of new songs played, including Bar Lonely, Build It Up and The Doctor. It's also really fun to hear some of the established songs in that arrangement, I don't think they ever played an acoustic set with guitar and keyboard. And I actually much prefer Audacious in that performance over the studio version

Missing Nick and Paul

No disrespect to Audrey, Julian, or Dino- I think they’re great and I like what they’ve contributed to the band, but I really miss what spice Nick and Paul added to Franz Ferdinand’s sound.

I hope one day they all get back together.

Yesterday I did this thread for rumours of Franz Ferdinand performing at Truck and Tramlines Festivals in the UK in July: Possible announcements : r/franzferdinand

Well, today saw both festivals confirm Franz Ferdinand on their line-ups.

Performing on Saturday 26th July at Tramlines in Sheffield and by the look of it on Sunday 27th July at Truck Festival in Oxfordshire

Possible announcements

A few festivals in the UK did teaser announcements today for their 2025 line-ups, sending out things like sauce bottles, chocolate bars and scratchcards with names of acts on them

Franz's name is on two - it was on a bottle of Henderson's Relish for Tramlines Festival in Sheffield and on a scratchcard for Truck Festival in Oxfordshire

Proof of Truck: Photo Pit Live 📸🎧🎤🎸🎵 on X: "Truck Festival 2025 looking as stacked as ever. So far I've seen confirmed on socials: Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Courteeners, Blossoms, The Last Dinner Party, Kasabian. The rest of the first announcement going live 6pm Monday 25th November. Any we've missed? @TruckFestival https://t.co/4ny763Jlo3" / X

Proof of Tramlines: Sheffield Forum on X: "The best Tramlines line-up ever? #sheffield #tramlines https://t.co/oNfCznrbVr" / X

These two festivals have parallel announcements on Monday at 6pm UK time and are both held on the last weekend of July. So keep an eye for these two
