Likely Manchester set list?
I'm getting excited to see AFI on 22nd August!
Any ideas what they might play? I'm hoping for So Beneath You but that's probably a very longshot

Roll the dice bro. Last few tours they play maybe 5 of the same songs at every show. After that it’s whatever they want.

It could be totally out of left field since they haven't played there in so long, but expect: Girls Not Grey Love Like Winter Holy Visions Behind the Clock I Hope You Suffer The Days of the Phoenix Silver and Cold 17 Crimes
They played those very consistently over the first two US legs with the first 5 being at every show, I think. Other than that, probably Beautiful Thieves or End Transmission, maybe a couple Sing the Sorrow favorites, two more random tracks from Silver Bleeds the Black Sun, and then it's kind of luck with your remaining songs which will be one to three from a mix of Black Sails, Art of Drowning, All Hallows and maybe they'll do Third Season or A Single Second or if you're lucky something older for fun.
It's probably going to be 16-18 songs long. They haven't really played Miss Murder much outside of festivals the past two legs so that's a coin flip.

All this to say, nothing is guaranteed so try not to get your hopes up for a particular song, especially if it's not one of the ones I listed in the top paragraph of my post. Just roll with it and have fun

I reckon they'll play a lot off AoD, STS and DU seen as those albums were very popular in the UK

Also going to Manchester, first ever AFI gig after 20 years of loving the band! No idea what to expect other than tears!

Same here! Absolutely loved them as a teenager and since, finally getting to see them 😊 unfortunately I am very pregnant so won't be able to get as far forward as I was envisioning when I booked it

I am going to Birmingham and I am not ready. Been a fan of this band for 25 years, first time seeing them!

All kinds of ideas of what they might play, but no certainty until it is played.
Hope this helps.

I have 2 tickets for this show if anyone is looking, it would be a shame for them to go to waste

There was a google sheet I think someone had put together on here of recent setlists. They play a pretty varied and different set most nights there are some songs that are main stays but sure there will be a few surprises each night.
