It is increasingly common, especially indie and rock acts. They can tie it in with a re-release and tour that album playing it in full. I have seen a handful of bands do it, the Super Furry Animals did their first two albums. Manic Street Preachers did the Holy Bible followed by a greatest hits encore. I saw Boris do one album and I didn't even realise it was a full album set. Fucked Up did one too, the David Comes to Life album. Works well for cult acts with older legendary albums that maybe they don't play many tracks of live in a normal set. Really exciting for the hardcore fans then.

That was the thing, I got into the Manics around 98/99 when they were heading more into mellow chart territory. They never played stuff like that, so seeing the Holy Bible in full was like a dream come true. It was in the grounds of Cardiff Castle too.

I'm so fucking jealous man. The holy bible is one of my straight up favorite albums and one of my biggest inspirations, music-wise
