    Heard that the Rokerij is closed, my fave coffee shop has to be Popeyes in Jordaan and Blue Velvet though that wasn't open last time. Coming from Chicago most likely arriving Saturday. Thinking of going to Belgium to check WWI trenches on sat or sun rent a car n check out Belgium

    They probably will play Sirens, mind your manners, lightning bolt, alive, and DTE both nights. Which would be unfortunate for people attending both nights. Who would want to see repeats of songs that make up roughly 20% of the total songs played?

    They didn't play Alive and Do the evolution twice last time.
    I wouldn't mind Lightning bolt and Mind your manners twice.
    Sirens? Well once is enough.

    I hope they play different openers because I have had a different opener every show untill now.
    But if I have to choose between no Pendulum and both nights, I'd pick both nights.
    I love that song.

    Was lucky enough to see them in Oklahoma City Oct 16,2013. They opened with Wash & Sometimes. Two pretty rare openers.
    With two shows back to back in AMS, I would love to hear a couple rarities mixed in to the setlist....
    BU$HLEAGUER would probably be too much to ask for...haha.. They haven't played it since 2007.

    I was so lucky to catch Bushleaguer in 2006 at my very first show. Silver jacket, Bush mask and winebottle and all.
    That song just is an absolute pleasure. His little talk after leading in to Leash is great as well. A very nice combo.

    I guess you are right it would a little too much to hope for. :P
    Sometimes and Wash would make me happy as well though.

    The biggest part of me is just so appreciative for this band and everything they have done that I get a little irked when I see posts about wishing they wouldn't play some of the most popular songs both nights. If nothing else, not everyone can go both nights! DTE may be the favorite song of someone who is seeing them for the first time and only going to one of the shows.

    But yeah, I also have that entitled & greedy part that wants the best show for me. I would love NOT to hear Alive. But I'm pretty sure they'll have the range of fans in mind and will give us something each night to be really, really happy about!! Would love Tremor Christ!

    I just like to speculate. I think it would be neat/special for them to do like maybe play whole 4 complete albums over the 2 day spectacular. Didn't they ask a fan to create a playlist for an Amsterdam show recently?
