Michael Shannon and Friends

Is Anyone else on here going to the Michael Shannon and Friends gig at New Century Hall in Manchester on the 5th of September? I'm really looking forward to it. Touring my favourite REM LP... there's been some special guests so far on it. I'm not expecting Buck, Mills, Berry or Stipe, but I'd love to see some local legends to join them on stage..(fingers crossed for Johnny Marr!!)
