tweedy42 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I've heard from sources very close to EP that they are 'pretty much' confirmed...though I still find it hard to believe that Wilco will be in Europe in September..Three European tours in as many months?? And it would appear that they are scheduling some kind of US dates around then..Sooooo I wouldnt be getting my hopes up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think, could be wrong, that Electric Picnic is on at the same time as Scotland's Indian Summer festival, and certain bands are playing both. So there's a possibility. I would recommend going to Electric Picnic. I've been twice and its one of the friendliest and diverse festivals over this way. Not too big or crowded either, and with plenty to keep you occupied aside from the music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
larrylove Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Tom Dunne (Today FM) said last year that they were going to be playing, alas, no. It sure would kick ass if they played this year, though, the line up rules already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tweedy42 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 That LA date has put to bed the 'electric picnic' question... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Why can't the band just play a date(s) of their own in Ireland? I am too old and cranky for this festival shit now. Why couldn't the Marquee shower in Cork get them instead of fucking Madness, Status Quo and Elton John? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
