Well, the one good thing about this is that the venues may be interesting. If I do not hear the album on the 22nd then I’m battening down the hatches and staying offline until after the 29th.

Oh it’s a lottery? A bit awkward for those who are planning to travel from afar

[Jinjur]

Agreed. I will have to hang fire on flights and not assume anything in this case.

yeah, for'real. 22-29 will be the hardest.

[atavist]

The closest to me is 1000 miles away... Guess I'll be listening alone

[Jinjur]

It will be online for sure with a cut off as with Tomorrows Harvest giving attendees a bit more I would expect

That will be the longest week... Hard to believe it's been just six days since album announcement! I'm with you. I'm not positive but I think my first listen will be sometime the night of release, playing digital on my home system, and I want it to be a "blind" experience, as much as possible. But I already asked a retailer via email in my city who are on the Warp Stockist list, hoping they're hosting something.
***The promo poster says "early exclusive listening session on May 22nd and a[?] retail partner listening sessions [plural] on May 28th."***
I told the shop I'll be there if I have the option!

Sadly wont be able to make any of these. Still neat they are doing this. My guess this the only reason for the early access link on their page. Guess we will see if the link disappears in the coming weeks after tickets have been distributed. I am hoping there will be some promo items handed out to those who attend.

From the black promo poster: "a bag of exclusive giveaway items will be provided to shops participating in the retail listening session" ... which makes the 3rd singular/plural disagreement on this Warp poster ... is it even real, haha?

It does not say "Listening Parties" anywhere on these promos.

It says "Inferno Sessions" and the word "Premiere" is used, as in there may be an associated film. There will be tickets and what I assume will be indoor venues...

Brace yourselves for the possibility of a 70 minute BOC audio-visual experience!

This has been in the back of my head too. I reckon the Glasgow venue will be the GFT.

I'm in the same situation. I'm in Mexico and would like to enter the lottery for LA. If I'm selected, the price of the plane ticket might be beyond my means by then.

Also, I'm guessing you have to register under your own name to participate, so the tickets probably won't be transferable.

I’m thinking about how different everything online is now compared to 2013. There were only a small group of people at the Lake Delores listening session, now it’s going to be a lot harder to avoid social media noise unless you shield yourself completely.

Also, even if I’m able to get a ticket, depending on the venue, I may opt to not go if it feels like there’s any risk of being next to some wanker on their phone.

None in France is such a bummer. I was really expecting one in Paris.

Now if anyone manages to grab some spare merch or goodies please send me a PM. Would love to have an Inferno poster.

Is this the first ticketed BoC event since ATP in 2001 ?

The Geogaddi listening parties also had tickets. Though according to BOCpages those were just given away

[StryCratyBya]

That's swell, I happen to be in Scotland on the 22nd. Fingers crossed.

[Wildfire]

7 locations is interesting, 7 hexagons. But the way they are calling it the "Inferno sessions" - it sure does sound live somehow, which would be impossible given it's all on the same day, but something tells me there's more surprises to come.

[Cupz]

Can't make the Berlin one because I already booked the train for the 23rd. Some great trolling, guys. If only it was a day later. But no biggie, I'd much rather have the first time be by myself anyway. Very awesome to see these parties popping up! I guess the Berlin twoism meeting will also be an after-party of sorts?
