I was at this terrific sold-out show last night; I didn't take any pictures (there are loads of brilliant ones of their sheer son-et-lumiere firepower on the socials already) but instead, by way of contrast, here is their stage shortly before their appearance at the Lexington in July 2013…
The rather more modest stage set for the 2013 duo incarnation of Public Service Broadcasting. Gigantic illuminated model of Sputnik 1 not present

I first saw the chaps as a two piece in a pub back room in 2013 and they are the only band I've followed from that level to arenas. What a journey!

I ran 10 miles before the gig and went to it in my running kit!

Thank you for the alert; I am off along the canal for a run later and shan't miss a finger-giving opportunity if one presents itself.

I was at the Fry one as well - it says a lot about Rich's audience that no-one breathed a word before the episode came out. One of the most extraordinary nights I've ever had in a theatre

It's a lucky escape that I didn't have a coffee on the go when I came to your description of the Cookie Monster.

Steve is excellent! I have one of his skirt sections on one of my Daleks. The front 2 panels have a slightly different angle with their neighbours which was a mistake on his part at the time but is now a 'maker's mark'!

Music is so 'siloed' nowadays - I had not heard of this bloke until I looked him up. Mind you I saw Vulfpeck playing to 20'000 people last month and none of my friends had heard of them either!

Aha right; all these new showings were crammed in early/late on days up to Sep 10th on which screenings were already sold out. They're undoubtedly going to add future dates owing to insane demand; I hope it works out for you!

A ticket to the Odyssey at the BFI. I am extremely surprised.

Insane demand for newly released The Odyssey tickets at BFI IMAX! Capacity of venue is only 500, so no chance this time.
Congratulations, you are the 20,551st person in the queue for a maximum of about 7000 tickets.

I found axs.com link then directing me to RAH presale on their own site, I am not sure that that is behaving that way now but there were LOADS tix still showing; AXS obv only had a proportion of total as presale.

Aha sorry to hear - I may just have lucked out. If any consolation - lots tickets were showing in the seat map on RAH. We're in row 9 on floor and that's just my wife (MY WIFE) not wanting to sit nearer the stage! Get into RAH queue nice and early on Friday it ought to be a rather better experience.

David James @da.vidjam.es · 29/07/2026
Update! The AXS site then directed me to RAH and they had lots of tickets - see if you can re-try the presale link and if the same thing happens to you!

It sold out breathtakingly quickly! I'd been in the queue since 9-45am and when I actually got to the seat map it was then a very frustrating and fruitless game of whack-a-mole!
