Ringo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 So with the announcement of dates in Spain and Portugal, we must be due some UK dates this time around to make up for the last tour cancellation?? Anybody have any insider info on this, as I'm eager to find out!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeprighton2 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 So with the announcement of dates in Spain and Portugal, we must be due some UK dates this time around to make up for the last tour cancellation?? Anybody have any insider info on this, as I'm eager to find out!! Yep, been in contact with Wilco's press office in Europe and the news is..... 'we'll hopefully be announcing some UK summer dates to coincide with the album release soon' So my guess is if they're in Spain til June 4th it might be in the couple of weeks that follow that. What was it, five/six shows pulled from late 2007? They're certainly due up north after missing out completely last time. Brixton Academy in London possibly after the cancellation there last time, though I would rather they did Shepherds Bush Empire again, or maybe Hammersmith Odeon/Apollo with the sloping floor and seats taken out as they did with Flaming Lips when I saw them there a few years back. Festivals maybe? Glasto? Timing might be right. Anyway, sounds promising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I have to i'll darg myself down to London, but off down there for Blur on July 2nd.Bring on the announcement!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 At least there's some plans... I can see them playing a festival or two (Glasto, Lattitude) but I can't see them playing Brixton after the cancellation last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lovely venue in Cardiff called the Point. Us down West need some love as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raindog Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A show in Bristol would be perfect, although i'd settle for London. I had a ticket for the Brixton gig (still got it!) and I was devastated when they cancelled. Going to Glastonbury too, and if we get The Boss and Wilco, it'll be unbelievable!

50footqueenie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 bump - any update? Can't see it now - not after the Spanish dates anyway - or surely any dates would be on sale. Let's hope for later in the year... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raindog Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think there's a great chance they'll play some more UK festivals. Looks like they'll be in Europe for most of the summer anyway, so take note Michael Eavis! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heyhey Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 maybe they will hook up with uncle neil again, he is touring europe in the summer- including some festivalshttp://www.thrasherswheat.org/2009/03/euro...s-for-neil.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
