European dates for September??


Recommended Posts

I see Wilco are confirmed for Ireland's Electric Picnic festival on the last weekend in August - has anyone heard rumour of any other European dates around this? Surely they won't come over just for one festival slot? I need to book my Wilco holiday!!

I reckon it's on. I certainly won't be going to picnic this year (great great festival in general but the line up is criminal). Might try and catch them in a small stage in Europe again but avoid repeating the mistakes of Torino

What happened in Torino?

 

I prefer to see bands on the continent as in general the audiences seem to be there for the music, not just to get drunk and shout out at every juncture. I was at the Neil Young gig in Edinburgh last month and the calling out at every quiet moment was verging on the criminal. You could see even Mr Soul was getting pissed with it.

 

Best places I've seen bands are: The Cirque in Brussels (Calexico/Iron & Wine), Wilco in Paris, Ghent and Amsterdam where the place was so high it was impossible not to inhale...

I was in Torino (is my city), do you refer when the power went off during Spider? It was a sublime moment, I remember all the audience singing along the riff for minutes until the power return (with the band on stage with any kind of percussions and Kotche on drums). Talked with Wilco (Nels, John and Glenn) after the show, they told to me they were very satisfied how the concert was so good..

just a little 'bump' in the vague hope that it might make any differece as to whether they come back to the uk, or not... :huh

 

was there ever any official (or unofficial even) reason as to why they cancelled last time?

It would be cool if this was in late September if it happens. I might find myself over there at that point in time.

 

Mid-October is better for me. Somewhere around London, especially.
