    Dates for a big April/May UK tour have been leaking for a couple of weeks now, most of the venues are in places they don't play often.

    Ticketmaster has the Nerve center in Derry up as 1st of May, tickets on sale 18th Jan. Hopefully there's more Irish dates :)

    Probably a Cork or Galway date then if they're playing venues/cities they usually don't play in.

    Great band, didn't really like the last album but would still head if it was somewhere not to far away.

    (Would love a tiny venue in Dublin though!)

    What about Whelans:eek: or if we were lucky enough somewhere like Fibbers ha

    Yeah hopefully there's a Cork or Limerick added. Would love Galway but doubt it.

    Pfft. Might as well just go busking at this stage :p

    Apparently the tour is something special so I wouldn't be suprised if they're playing the entire new album or something.

    dear United Kingdom and Ireland... a little heads up.
    on Wednesday, at around midday, we will announce (and have a special two day pre-sale via our site) some special UK shows for April.
    there will be 24 shows in total. with the exception of one or two of the shows, none of them will be in what would be considered 'major' towns or cities (ie: no Manchester, Birmingham, London etc). Most of the shows are around the 600 capacity mark.. so a little more 'cozy' than recent shows.
    We're focusing on the sort of places that we've either never been, or not been for years, or that don't generally get shows at all. (to give you an idea of the sort of thing; is there anybody reading this who lives on the Wirral? when was the last time you saw a rock show without having to get on a train or in a car and go to Liverpool / Chester / Manchester or whatever? yeah.. its that sort of tour).
    Its taken ages to put together, so only got it finalised this week (we know there's been a couple of dates that were rumours going around... but at least one of those shows isn't happening now. that's not our fault, it was just that they were leaked before they were confirmed).
    So, yes... please spread the word, and tune in on Wednesday around midday (maybe even a little earlier) for the announcement.

    Wonder what places they will do in Ireland? Cork or Limerick or something? Along with the belfast date

    Cork sounds pretty promising since they haven't played here in 5 years.

    They said most of the venues are around 600. So they probably wouldn't bother with the Roisin, but god that'd be great :)

    Id say the 600 venues will be the UK , Sure the last few times they played over here has been in the Academy which is 800? So it wouldnt be that much of a step down . Id say they will have to a dublin date

    I know but the Roisin is 280, which is real small. I'm in Galway, so if they play the Roisin I'll be delighted :p But it seems a bit small when they could just as easily do Limerick where Dolan's is 400.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they skip Dublin. They don't play often, but they do play it every album and the idea is that they're playing places they haven't played in years.
