    Playing Benicassim in July anyway. Website says "First European show" so hopefully there'll be more dates announced!
    Say they're doing it partly for the money so you'd imagine it'd be worth their while to play a good few shows.

    I'd love to see them! I doubt we'll get them over here though. I think they've only signed up for Coachella besides this, and the Mars Volta will be touring in support of their new album. I think it's just a nostalgia trip. Hell, even Omar said they were partially doing it for the money. Once we get TMV over here though I'll be happy!

    The fact that they've signed up for Benicassim though is a good indication that they're going to play more (European) festivals. If they end up playing Reading/Leeds hopefully they'll stick around for a few days and play at EP.

    I really do want to believe that, but the fact that they're playing Coachella in April, and haven't announced any other US dates around that makes me doubtful. I'll gladly eat humble pie though and would love nothing more than to be proven wrong on this! :D

    saw em online at the coachella fastival this year, and his voice sounds way different to ATDI 10 yrs ago. I suppose that happens, but he is not shouting much from the new one I saw, whereas years ago, I thought his voice suited the music more, but I suppose long term, you would do damage...
