Newman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 When concert tickets go on sale so far in advance that you cannot book airfares, train tickets or hotels yet, then something is not quite right. Still, I am hoping to grab a Brussels, Manchester and London ticket today. Hoping that the Netherlands and maybe another Germany gets added to the tour also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
helicopterday Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 2 Manchester tickets nabbed )) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Manchester booked.London booked.I was put off by the pre-sale for Brussels only offering 'will-call' with tickets being available for collection at doors opening time, which is absolutely useless when you want to wait in line and get on the rail.The general sale on Friday has 'print at home' so I will wait for that.

Albert Tatlock Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yup , London. Thank God for GA.Still want a second night though :-)Possibility of Berlin and maybe one other failing that, but that's all too far off to think about that until next summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Brussels GA added to my itinerary.From looking at this great clip from the same venue in 2009, it looks a cool venue and it seems the Belgian crowd really gets it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_t8_p514bw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Would the general consensus be that more Euro dates are forthcoming? There are some big gaps in that schedule (between Brussels and Copenhagen especially) and I would be shocked if the Netherlands and Ireland gets nothing. There also must be more shows in June/July as they wouldn't come over for one festival.Glastonbury will surely figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My contacts on the ground there tell me the sale this morning is almost completely gone, so a second show (like they did last time) is highly likely. I'm hanging out for an Irish show or two too - hopefully two nights at Vicar Street. Scotland? nah it's full o' folk just waiting for a rammy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Newman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Second Brussels show booked. I do love double headers as the chances of deep cuts is always far greater. Now if they want to add a show or two at the Paradiso in Amsterdam right after these then that will be just swell... PS my wife is going to go nuts when she finds out.

Newman Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 So I see the gap between Belgium and Denmark is now filled in:Düsseldorf Oct 29thStuttgart Oct 30thBoth all seated venues and both cities that don't really appeal to me too much.I will hang back for Ireland and/or The Netherlands.

Wise Enough Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Australia dates for Tweedy:Meeniyan town hall mar 20Melbourne recital hall mar 21Sydney the factory mar 22 Very very confused by Meeniyan. There's not much there, it's a small country town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Australia dates for Tweedy:Meeniyan town hall mar 20Melbourne recital hall mar 21Sydney the factory mar 22 Very very confused by Meeniyan. There's not much there, it's a small country town. Meeniyan is a popular place for Love Police to bring their touring artists. You're right it's a very small town, but with a very passionate community who use the event as a place to catch up with Bob the butcher and Fred the farmer and discuss the local gossip. Basically as a result, shows at Meeniyan always sell out regardless of who's playing. I went to a show there a few years back and it was a fun night, but I've noticed the "city folk" tend to get relegated to tables at the back. Not sure how to secure tickets though, you have to send an email to a hotmail address?! Also don't forget there's a show in Auckland on March 27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luminous Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yay. i just saw the Auckland announcement I was waiting for! Too bad only one NZ show but the Power Station is a good venue, I saw most of Wilco play there for Seven worlds collide in '09:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tweedy now has dates in Tokyo and Osaka too. March 30 & 31. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm so happy for you guys halfway around the world. I love the format of the TWEEDY band shows and you just know how happy everyone in the band will be on this tour. They'll be grinning from ear to ear, and so will you all.

Sonic Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 So excited, just bought my Tweedy tickets for Auckland! What do you think, any chance Wilco might come down at the same time? They have a gap in their schedule.... And it's been a while... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a gap in their schedule.... And it's been a while...Can't see it happening unfortunately. The Tweedy tour schedule is very tight with very few days off between first show at Meeniyan and last show in Japan. It doesn't really make sense for Jeff to tour Australia, NZ and Japan then fly back to Australia for a Wilco tour and start again. With Wilco in Europe in November, start hoping for a Wilco 2017 tour down here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
