Ghost Of Bob Cumming Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Is anyone ITK enough to know if there are likely to be UK dates after that Irish gig that's been announced, or am I just waiting in vain? I'd kind of assumed that in an effort to make up for those cancelled shows last November plus the confirmation that they are coming across the Atlantic that something would have been rumoured/announced by now (after all, I think the November shows became common knowledge by the start of August - though it took a few more weeks for them to appear on Wilcoworld). The real problem is that even if some shows are announced I'm going to struggle to make anything in the first half of September Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 We're indeed hoping that the guys are not coming to the UK/Ireland only for that festival, and trying to keep the first week of September free. I just hope they announce something SOON, because air fares will be unpayable in a minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they will play the UK but it wouldnt be the first time a band has just come to Europe to just play Electric Picnic and nowhere else, so I wouldnt hold my breath.

getchoo Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 jeff tweedy (solo gig) will be playing in Mallorca (Spain) on September 3th. Tickets are now available... I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nels is playing a fest in Los Angeles on 9/1, and Glenn and the Kronos Quartet are playing at Ravinia on September 3rd, so European full-band shows around then seem unlikely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardinggr Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hmmm, if no new shows in the UK anybody know of any cheap flights to Mallorca?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubs101 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I share your pain lads. It's quite ball breaking when your favourite band are playing what is traditionally a great festival (been there once and can confirm) and they fuck it up with a shocking line up which means there's no justification to spend the money. Very very annoyed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DickDarlington Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 So all we neeed now is a Tweedy solo show added to Electric Picnic !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubs101 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Tweedy Oberst and Wilco are not enough to get me to fork over 250 quid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
50footqueenie Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Last I heard, (after Dublin last November) there were no plans for a return to UK or Europe until late 2008. I asked a promoter contact of mine this week if he'd heard anything for that period and he had not, but that of course could just be Scotland. I've been sitting it out to see if there was a chance of euro dates in September and then seeing that Mr Kotche was booked to play with Kronos on the 3rd decided on taking a trip to Germany. Two hours after having booked that, i saw the message re Tweedy's gig in Mallorca - merde and double merde!! Keeping it crossed for the end of the year then... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i just saw on the autumn defense myspace page that john/pat are planning shows in the UK in early september: "Hello friends of the Autumn Defense...just an early warning that we are putting together some shows in the U.K. for the first week of September 2008. More details to follow as we get them...see you soon!" since Jeff is doing solo shows in Spain the same week, there might be a chance of Wilco UK shows announced soon!

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I was just coming over here to post about the Autumn Defense. I'm not sure there will be any more UK dates unfortunately. Nels has a handful of shows in California in September up on his website already, and I know he's playing the Jazzmaster 50th anniversary show in New York September 12th, too, so I'm not sure when there would be time.
