Yeah good shout, I can see them doing it. Unless there’s a Dublin specific show planned for late summer?

They’d be leaving it quite late in announcing at this stage for a solo summer show?

Well they have not announced any UK dates yet either. All to come with the album announcement I reckon

I don't think that's a big issue for them. They'd sell out within 24 hours of going on-sale I'd imagine.

Flaming Lips playing Galway Arts Fest. Irish exclusive. Another potential off the list.

Lets have Hookworms and Snapped Ankles so.

PinkCamper

Is this the latest (no announcements of any sort) by far? Cheeky b*stards leaving their punters hanging so long

No was 23rd of march last year and March 2nd the year before. But last year we at least got an announcement about the announcement in February.

Interpol accidentally self announced last year as well so at least we got a little taster. Cant believe nobody has made the mistake of adding stradbally to their tour dates even!

Has anyone mentioned Van Morrison yet? He's doing festivals and his last date so far is in England at the end of August

He was mentioned a few pages back and we all had a moan about what a feckin moaner he is and decided that if he does turn up, we all go along, love all the great songs and then moan about him having zero stage presence and being a bit of a moaner.

Pity. I will settle for Snapped Ankles so.

Are they big enough to headline yet?

In fairness to the grumpy bollix, he comes on, does his stuff and does it beautifully and then sods off. No moaning involved

Holy **** if Titus Andronicus play from that End of the Road festival I'd be happy

Jon Hopkins announced a gig in Vicar St for October so probably rules him out..

scruff monkey

That's still possible, lots of acts have stand alone gigs pre and post EP.

I reckon you'll get

St Vincent
Vampire W'end
Tame impala out of your choices.

With N.E.R.D being an outside possibility.

Don't know enough about the tour schedule of the second part of your list to comment.
