No Minnesota date, but there's one in Wisconsin? Wow. Great lineup though!

[Somefriday]

Madina Lake is headlining right? Because the poster has them on the bottom. They better be

[fanberlinboy]

Pretty sure The Classic Crime is headlining this one.

[kristanxmarie]

The poster looks like The Classic Crime is headlining, but every venue website I've seen so far has Madina Lake listed as headlining...

[Chellebellx0210]

Just FYI the last four dates aren't listed in Ivoryline or Madina Lake's myspaces so I think they're only TCC shows.

[Indoor Living]

Man, if Classic Crime was headlining, I would totally drive to Madison. I love them.

[rising_tied]

Id only wanna see Madina Lake even though their last CD wasnt that good, but fuck beans because the 2 Illinois dates are when ima be at Bamboozle

[camman007]

I really hope Madina's headlining, but I like all the bands. I need to get into Classic Crime more. Hitting up Columbus date for sure.

[A7XXX]

Thanks for the info. I just corrected it.

It makes more sense for Madina to headline. They're a bigger band anyways. Also on facebook, TCC said they're playing 10 songs. It's rare that the headliner would only do 10 songs

[foundthvlvtsun7]

FYI to everyone, I went to the Madison show last night and TCC played last, even though The Loft had ML listed as headlining. They did play 10 songs, and ML played about 6 or 7.

Damn I really hope Madina plays more at Columbus.

May 12th in NYC the opening band Jack Miz is playing, they're really awesome. Check them out at myspace.com/jackmizmusic - great stuff.

[wheresadalia]

i figured it was a coheadliner, since i've seen it listed as ML headlining and TCC headlining at different venues. ML better be playing more than 7 songs, i haven't seen them since warped (where they also played like 6-7 songs) and they aren't going to be touring for a while to write new stuff. i hope for some reason that show was not the norm for this tour. i hate it when the "headliner" only plays 10 or less songs, especially when there's only 3 bands on the tour :|
anyway, i'll be at the akron and columbus shows for ML.

[Somefriday]

wow how id ML not last... im DEFINITELY not going now. and those are pathetic set times for 3 band tour. not worth the money at all

[lauren1234]

The Dallas Bar? I think they mean The Prophet Bar.

[A7XXX]

Sorry about that. I just edited the place.

Found the setlist for Madina Lake: (look like the close for May 1st)

Never Take Us Alive
One Last Kiss
House of Cards
Let's Get Outta Here
Statistics
Welcome to Oblivion
True Love
Not For This World
Legends
Here I Stand

Encore:
Me vs. The World

Also I heard that Justin (the guitarist) from TCC has to fly home to be with his wife so Matt has to play his guitar part for the last two days.

it might have been (at least at the Wisconsin show) because of the venue, since there were also 2 local bands opening. i think it's common at The Loft for bands to not play as long. unless that's still happening at the other shows.

[andyball2311]

was at the show tonight. madina lake headlined and i left before they finished

ivoryline sounded really good and im excited for the new album
they played:
hearts and minds
be still and breathe
we both know
remind me i'm alive
days end
all you ever hear
vessels
the last words

went mainly for the classic crime and they sounded good even though matt is losing is his voice. i wish they were headlining tho and i can't believe they dropped the fight from their set, its easily their best song.

they played
blisters and coffee
abracadavers
say the word
cheap shots
four chords
the coldest heart
solar powered life
salt in the snow

[wheresadalia]

it's a coheadliner. madina lake and the classic crime switch spots every night. i don't think the set lengths vary much though, except the last band plays an encore song.
anyway, this tour is so great. saw it in akron, and ended up going to pittsbugh too even though i didn't plan on it, thanks to ML guestlisting us.
and i'll be at the columbus show next wednesday.
i don't know ivoryline or the classic crime well enough, but i don't think they are mixing up their setlists much, so it's probably what was already posted
in akron ML played (not exactly in order)
Never Take Us Alive
House Of Cards
Statistics
Let's Get Outta Here
Da Limp (if you've seen them before, it's an instrumental song)
Here I Stand
True Love
Legends
Welcome To Oblivion

and in pittsburgh they took out da limp and played one last kiss. and pandora as an encore.
oh, and ivoryline are the sweetest guys ever. it was freezing in akron, and we were out there way earlier than we needed to be, and eventually they brought us their sleeping bags and a blanket to keep warm. southern gentlemen :]

[wheresadalia]

I really hope Madina's headlining, but I like all the bands. I need to get into Classic Crime more. Hitting up Columbus date for sure.

i know this is late, but if they do switch back and forth each night with no changes, madina is playing last in columbus.

[rising_tied]

Well after seeing the setlist, im not as pissed about missing Madina Lake again .

[wheresadalia]

yeah, i wish they were mixing it up more, but i am happy they are playing statistics since it's pretty much my fave off attics, and this tour is the first time i've seen them play it. and i'm always happy to see them, whatever they play :]

[cscwell107]

Terrible TCC and ML setlist. Im completely ok with missing the show in Akron now.

[camman007]

Was getting pumped for the show in Columbus tomorrow and was on Madina's myspace and saw that the rest of the shows on the tour have been cancelled! Wtf happened?

[A7XXX]

I thought it was weird too that Madina Lake haven't really announce their dropping off from the tour. The only reason I know of it is due to facebook status from TCC which said Madina has some medical reason

[camman007]

Yea I'm glad I checked their myspace last night or I would've been PO'd at the concert. Ugh they were the reason I was going and Idk if it's worth the drive for Classic Crime now.

[wheresadalia]

madina lake did announce it

along with posting it on their twitter i believe
i'm still going, ivoryline are some of the best guys ever, and the classic crime is great. of course, i am also only a ten minute walk from the venue, so with the crappy weather, it's understandable if you don't come

[camman007]

Classic Crime and Ivoryline are great, but I don't know enough of their material for the 2 hour drive to be worth it i think, maybe if it was closer I'd still go, oh well I'm in talks with Ticketweb about getting a refund.
