More Playbacks!
An announcement was made on the official message board this morning that there would be more Kid A playbacks! Here’s what was posted:
Here’s an idea that may please some people. The very nice chaps at the record company are letting people listen to KID A before it is released…..in fact on the 4th or 7th of sept, depending on where you live.
here’s how.
You will need to go to your local indie record shop (see list below) to queue for your
ticket early on 2 September (probably earlier than opening time, yikes!!) – there
should be posters up instore about the playbacks.
– Tickets will be handed out on a first come, first served basis – strictly
1 ticket per person.
– The playbacks on either 4th or 7th September (depending on city) will
start at 7pm and finishing around 9pm at each venue.

All of our 40 phone lines have been jammed all morning and we have one of the biggest box offices in London. There is still a huge amount of traffic on our website, but people are just getting turned away!”
The concert in set for July 1, 2000, and as reported earlier is part of Scott Walker’s Meltdown 2000 Festival.
