If it was one show only I'd be more confident. That said, the promo/marketing for the album is FAR from over, they were just waiting for confirmation that he was coming. I will be GUTTED if they seat the arena, and really surprised. I've been to two shows where they've done that (Duffy and Bob Dylan) and you're right, the atmosphere was non existent. I'm wondering if the whizz bang production values are the reason for the bigger venue? I don't wanna be a naysayer though - I want to believe he can fill it, I know PLENTY of people who are going to both shows and it will be a blast. The Moveable stage is one of my favourite things about Vector - I'm sure they'll make the neccessary adjustments to make it sound good. That Snow Patrol gig was FUN, by the way.. Loved it..
