yep, lots of 'big' bands appear to be doing the KT Forum and Brixton Academy, for 1 or multiple nights instead of going for bigger venues (Wembley arena, Ally Pally etc).
I am ALL for this, both the latter venues are miserable.

Yeah Brixton has always felt like a destination venue for a lot of bands so seen a few bigger acts there. Kentish Town just suprised me recently. Makes sense as you say though with how bad any arena show in any country I've been to actually is.
Funnily enough Beck is one that I'm seeing at Kentish Town which will be two days after he'll have played Brixton Academy. Think one is an additional date. Wouldn't fancy setting up a show at one, taking it down, driving across London and setting up again.

@hippy Yeah will keep an eye on it through the day but meh, these things happen, hopefully more fans were quick off the line and got tickets rather than resellers and I'm just not one of the lucky crew.
On a side note though and unrelated to your post, is it just me or have Kentish Town Forum been getting a load of big acts recently? A bunch of gigs I've been interested in seem to be in the Forum and when chatting to my mates they always seem to mention some gig they went to at there recently. Over the 6ish years I've been in London there hasn't been any bookings that have taken me there but over the last year loads have popped up.
