i think you can go where you want, once you're inside? as a vip you can enter the vip area, but it'd surprise me if you have to. after all it's not a concert, but a festival with different stages, and as far as i understood it, there's only one vip area.

i wonder if there'll be a new band. i really hope so, but who knows,maybe mika's music is so electro now that he doesn't need a band anymore but oly a dj. #worstcase in any case, i'm not happy with cherisse leaving. and probably also martin & imma, when she talks about the 'band'.

oh come on wonka, isn't it obvious? he was so scared by the number 9 that it would've been a bad omen talking about his new album in that show. that's kodes, i remember him from mfc, always seemed a nice guy to me... already been wondering why i haven't seen him on here for ages. anyone knows what happened?

so i guess andy is talking about a videoclip for the first single. looking at his older tweets, and assuming those things were also for "project mika", here's what we have (i love speculating, until we get the real news! ): a scout's hut a 70's tv a glitter ball a religious painting a weird porcelaine doll some dust (spray) and a badger. i'm really curious about this video! it all kinda fits together though, an old '70s place. tribes edit... hm, i guess (hope!) it's not "underwater" then. i wouldn't be surprised if we got that song more or less from one day to the next... it has worked well with elle me dit, so he could try that again. :rolls_eyes:

congrats! looking forward to see you there! do you already know who you're going with? if you wanna sell the 2nd ticket, maybe tina78 would be interested, she considers going and doesn't have a ticket yet.

tiibet and me will be there... that depends... i often wish that i hadn't listened to my parents so much when i was a teenager, and had taken more risks! well, i guess whichever path you take, they all have advantages and disadvantages. :rolls_eyes:

ah yes, my post was deleted due to the mfc crash... well, the wouter hamel gig in munich last week was fab! i just uploaded my photos, you can find them here: http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i91/mellody76/Wouter%20Hamel/

hmm, i thought we only see the back of the screen, a dark laptop with the apple logo.

that way he's just encouraging fans to send him stuff to his home. oh well, the poor boy must suffer from presents deprivation, as he hasn't been touring for ages.

now that would be a nice rainbow effect! maybe it'd work by spraying it together with coloured powder... i'm sure the security guys at the stage would be thrilled by that idea! edit: thinking more closely, spraying glitter hairspray in the air would indeed look great, with the small glitter particles falling down like sparkling raindrops. on the negative side, the smell of glitter hairspray isn't that great. we wouldn't want mika fleeing off stage to escape it!

i have a feeling that the new theme might have something to do with tribal stuff, like african masks and/or native american feather stuff etc. :rolls_eyes: but you're right, so much has been done already, it wouldn't be special if we just repeated sth old or did something just for the sake of it if we don't have a fab idea. we could spray mosquito repellant in the air all at once.

just bought tickets for mariposa & myself. we're coming from munich by car (arriving some time in the afternoon i guess...), and then on to vigevano.

i don't think it's that strange if he premiers the new songs there... seems like he has a special relation to those circus events, and they also wrote that he'll set up a unique club show for this. it's a small special stage within a big event, so lots more people can watch than if he performed at the circus venue ... i'd say it's a perfect setting to present new songs. (you hear me, mika?! )

i just booked my flight. now i wonder if this will really be the first gig where he'll present his new songs. IF there are any before that, i have a feeling that they'll be in france, and i don't wanna go there - so i guess london isn't such a bad choice. actually i wanted to wait a while to see if there's anything else announced (which probably i couldn't afford now anymore) - but i waited for a week now, and flights are getting more and more expensive, so i decided to book before they get too expensive. looking forward to see you all there!!

entered. winning would give me a reason to go, i still haven't decided yet! btw, thanx for posting those fb news on mfc, i have trouble accessing fb from my phone, so i love it that the important news are posted here as well!

not in summer though, because then your country is busy invading germany with caravans.

exactly my thoughts. if i was rich, i wouldn't hesitate a second... but in fact, i'm broke and will probably have to decide between switzerland & italy on the one hand, and london on the other (though, who knows what other festivals/gigs will still be announced!). i'd definitely choose the former in this case, although i also really really wanna go to a gig together with statue, who doesn't have time end of july. arrrgh!! i've also had a look at those vip tickets... they have an extra entry lane, which sounds good - but if they don't open earlier or at least at the same time as the normal entrance starts, the money would be wasted. btw, did you notice the comment "album, out later this year"? so, does "later" mean later from now on, or later from the festival date on?

getting there by train isn't the problem... don't think queuing early is necessary for this one. but if you wanna be in vigevano the next day before 11am,you'll need a car.

lol, i already joked with graciosa that we should all dress as ghosts, by hiding under mosquito nets.

oh believe me, people do that in europe! for teen stars it's totally common. i'm glad that mika isn't justin bieber!

i know what you both mean, but when i made my comparison, i had smaller gigs in mind, not the huge choreographed ones. i don't know how many people were at the mod club, but i'd guess it's nothing you could compare to arena shows. if you play in a big arena with thousands of people, there needs to be some "circus", so also those far in the back can enjoy the show, because they have no chance of "connecting" to mika during the gig, as they cannot see his facial expressions etc.. or only on screens, which isn't quite the same. anyway, i'm talking about gigs like some of the small ones in 2009 and 2010... the radio gig in munich, the concerts in stuttgart and helsinki. those times when mika breaks out of his usual rehearsed show, jokes with the crowd etc. - THAT is what i mean. i wouldn't trade one of those shows for the "old times". i definitely would trade something like pdp though!

interesting, in german we call the water inside the coconut coconut milk, though it really looks like water. it's drinkable, though i never had more than half a glass at once. maybe the side effects only appear if the coconut is foul, or if it has been standing in the heat too long?

not going to this one, but it's lovely to see rsvp lists for upcoming gigs again.

haha, yeah, maybe... or he just found the tweet funny...

who knows, maybe you'll have to drink a pint of coconut water to understand it. i don't get it either, but uh, whatever.
