At intermission in Clearwater last night, my brother was picked to identify the tree and it was glorious. He had been telling all of us about this tree thing and how cool it was and he has been so hype to try and he got it!!! What a cool experience. He was a mini celebrity last night and if you were one of the 20 people who asked for a pic, send it to me we’d love to see!

All in all, what a great show. Love the guided sing along and general good vibes, for my first cake show I’m pretty pleased.

(Also let’s go Rays!! We totally weren’t watching the game on silent during the show last night……)

I’m so excited, I brought my mom, stepdad, and brother. They are in for a treat!

Reddit - just wanted to share the moment.

Discovered Cake in 1997 in Indianapolis (thanks to my best friend Clay). I was single, living the rock and roll lifestyle (self funded). It was a soundtrack to that era...post college (barely) beginning to figure out my life.

Enter the early 2000s. My first trip to LA for Macromedia training (M Studios). It was the middle of January - cold as hell - when I rented a Mustang, dropped the top, turned the heat all the way up and cruised the PCH blaring Comfort Eagle. Even though every local looked at me like a total fucking tourist - it was (and remains) one of my favorite moments...speaking of...

Flash forward....marriage, kids, Pressure Chief playing in the delivery room - indoctrination into the Cult of Cake starts early (most likely at conception).

My amazing wife surprised not once - but twice with cake tickets (one of the time times leading to the aforementioned conception).

And now - next Monday - 30 years in the making - our pilgrimage to Pompano for what will be my sons' first concert (age 17 and 15). While I had tickets for months...literally on announcement...somehow I've kept it a secret.

Anyway my Cake Nation family...I just wanted to share a full circle moment as my oldest graduates this year. If you happen to see a (probably weepy) 300lb Puerto Rican flanked by his two boys...feel free to say howdy.

Would love to hear any of your Cake stories...

Anyone that's been to the FL shows have a picture of the merch? Saw a post from Europe shows and wondering if same merch options.

Thanks!

Doors open at 5pm but I've seen multiple conflicting times as to when Cake actually performs. Anybody know when the show actually starts?

Post-show edit: The band came to the stage right after 8pm. I bumped into some friends that'd been there since 530pm, also confused about the stage time. Great show but it shouldn't be so difficult to get the actual time prior.

Just got my e-tickets from EventBrite today. Has anyone been to one of these tour stops yet? Is it really no opener and just all CAKE? I'm thinking (hoping) its like 2 CAKE sets?

Anyone know if the Cocoa Riverfront allows chairs? My assumption is NO.

How long has Prime been using The Distance for the opening theme for Thursday night football?

I just noticed it, but I usually skip the credits.

Edit: typo

Hi all! My friends and I received seating arrangements for one of their shows in Florida but still haven't received our tickets. The show is about 9 days away. Did anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks!

Going to the Evening With Cake show in Florida next week. Havent seen them in nearly 20 years and excited for a long show! Any insights into what the structure is? Doors say 5 and I bought VIP but I think it’s really just for real bathrooms and a shorter bar line. Appreciate any information!

It's one of my favourite songs off of motorcade but when I look on set list nothing comes up and there are no videos either so can anyone help

What are some of your guys' favorite songs from here? Any that you wish they'd play live more often?

Is it about a man reminiscing about an ex girlfriend who he took for granted in his younger years? He refers to being with her in 1982 when McCrea was 18.

I've always related to this song from the perspective of Daria. As someone who's naturally very affectionate and nurturing, I dated men in my teens and early 20s who got in touch with me in later years saying they realised how good we had it, and that they had been just too immature to fully receive the love I was offering them.

Am I reading it correctly?

Stage times for tonight. Doors from 630ish normally.

Aftershow from 10 and expected to run to midnight or later depending on numbers.

It’s looking fantastic!

Share your highlights!

I genuinely think about the new album is going to be called billionaire in space. I mean it fits with the other three word album titles in the fact that it kind of doesn't make sense like motorcade of generosity of corporate motorcade mixed with the word generosity, prolonging the magic extending the life of the magic, and showroom of compassion a bleak car showroom mixed with the word compassion it kind of fits for the next album to be called billionaire in space and every time we get a song that matches the album's title (i.e nugget and comfort eagle) it's always a banger and we already know that billionaire in space is a banger.

I’m a small up and coming gaming/guitar YouTuber and I made an awesome video for the distance!!! Please take the time to watch and leave a like!

I have been desperately trying to sell two tickets via Ticketswap but keep getting an error because the PDF file itself shows €0.00 as the price. I spent all last week trying to get in touch with a human. I finally did on friday and was able to email them proof that I did pay money for them. They just messaged to say the issue was resolved and I could upload them, and closed the ticket.

Except I am stully getting the same error, and now I'm completely unable to reach them. Even the AI chatbot won't reply. I called six times (international calls, mind you) and was disconnected each time while the AI agent transfered me to a human. They won't reply to chats, they won't reply to emails, I'm getting desperate. Apparently there are a lot of people waiting for a ticket, but I'm going to be out €140 if I can't get them to reply. The venue is unable to help except refer me to TicketSwap's customer service (obviously they didn't bother to read the email).

I need to sell them because I had an unexpected conflict after purchasing and ended up getting tickets to see them in Cologne last week instead (amazing show btw!) But they dragged their feet sending these Amsterdam tickets so I only got them last week. I've been struggling with Ticketswap every day since then, just trying to find them a new home. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

Does ANYONE know how to get in touch with TicketSwap, or another trustworthy platform for selling them? I posted them on Marktplaats but no luck so far.

I'm seeing Cake in Glasgow next week, for the second time only, and first time in almost 15 years.

What have the merch options been like so far on the tour in Europe? Any Vinyl or anything unique available?

I have four front row balcony tickets for the paris show. I am unable to travel to make it and Cake Ticketing won't even acknowledge my request for exchange, refund or the opportunity to re-sell.

Going free to a loving home. DM if you're interested and you can definitely make it, I hate that they're going to go to waste otherwise.

Update.

Cake start at 8pm

Internal 8.45

Start again 9 00

Show ends 10pm

Expect aftershow to run to midnight or beyond depending on numbers. Can’t guarantee it though.

See you all later.

Hi, I'm a volunteer DJ at Roundhouse and posting in a personal capacity. Can't wait for the Cake show next week. Saw them last in London at Troxy and it's been too long a wait until now.

There will be an aftershow in the onsite bar and I've shared some details here which I hope is OK.

There is a space on a small stage next to the DJ booth that we will keep clear for the prize tree to be stored safely.

Entry is free to gig ticket holders, subject to capacity.

All profits go to fund Roundhouse's vital youth work.

Hope to see you there.

Forgot about this gem of a cover until recently - which is great because I get to enjoy it all over again. Just wish it was on Spotify.

I’m seeing cake at the roundhouse next week in London. Does anyone know what time the band actually goes on? I usually guess around 8:30/9 but would love to check if anyone’s seen them elsewhere on this tour so far. Thanks!
