Which venue would be closest to Cambridge? I'm definitely willing to fly/take a bus/hitch hike to get there lol

Oh yes! I live just north of Cambridge, so if you want someone to show you round, get in touch.

I usually go see TGA in London, but they have played Norwich, which is near here, and Nottingham, which is not so close. Nor sure why they haven't played Cambridge. Horrible Crowes wise, Ian is Cambridge based, so I'd like to see a home gig.

Soo excited to go to London! I plan on being an obvious tourist and take pictures of everything and fall into tourist traps and it'll be grand.

I've been watching the UK version of Skins in preparation

haha if you watch skins & still want to come to the uk then that's a bonus! you'll love london, this is the best place i've ever lived, and cambridge is dead close! you'll love cambridge too!

Haha this is true Skins is terrible in itself an even worse portray of Brit teen life its really over dramatised or maybe I just had a shit boring time as a teenager who knows.

That's a comforting thought to a certain extent

I'm moving to Cambridge in August! How long are you there till?

Yeah, TGA played Norwich 2 years back with Frank Turner. Missed them, I hadn't discovered them yet! I was gutted when I found out. They won't be back here, too big now

EDIT: Alexander, how far north of Cambridge btw? Would be good for a travelling buddy to any future TGA UK shows

Hamburg sold out yesterday!

Just to let everybody know! Whoever has a spare ticket and doesn't need it anymore: I have a friend who is looking for one!

Bea .... thanks for updating

And another additional date announced today:
June 29th, Capitol / Hannover (Germany)
http://www.fkpscorpio.com/kuenstler.asp?nummer=167018

with what now amounts to a proper German Tour, there will have to be a UK Tour ... surely

nova rock would be great for their austrian fans, still the whole line up this year is not really appealing to me...

just booked Hamburg 6/6 couldnt wait any longer.

And a scandinavian tour please.

Does anybody know what the venue capacity is for both the Dresden and Hanover venues?

What site have people from the uk used to buy tickets for the Dresden and Hannover shows?

eventim.de
one warning lo, the cost of having tix sent to your home is very expensive they use DHL , Hamburg you can print your tix off yourself.

I'm so glad I've decided to go to Hamburg ... so now i'm not dependant of any festival appearance of TGA in Austria. First I really don't like festivals and second the line up for both Novarock and Frequency is not particulary exciting.
But there were clear rumours that they will be playing Novarock but I can't see that fitting in their schedule very well any longer. Maybe they do FQ but that would mean they have to prolong their European tour substantially .... so maybe after the UK and Scandinavian leg

Hamburg 6th, you would be able to do, fly from Stansted on the Sat, gig on the Monday, first flight home on the Tuesday 7th back in UK in plenty of time for you exams, do your revision on the journey .there you go Sorted.

I am starting to get annoyed that these European Tour dates are announed in this piecemeal fashion. Why not announce it once you have it all sorted, so that people can make an informed choice about where and when to go. We can't all afford to jet here, there and everywhere.

Got me thinking about a trip to Hamburg now. But as Steady now says it would be nice to see the full tour list before splashing out the cash to go to Germany especially if there are going to be lots of UK dates.

Does anyone know if there are any age restrictions for the Hamburg show.
Had a look on eventim cant see anything,i will have to take my 14yold daughter if i go.

yep , I fully agree, seems very odd that this tour is coming out in dribs and drabs, I think if there will be any UK shows lo, there wont be many.
Maybe just a couple between the festivals. My son will be at download, he is going to try and score me a cheap day ticket for the Sunday, if he dont get one for me it wont be the end of the world.I decided on Hamburg because i can make a nice long weekend of it, been there before and its a nice city , me and the wife and a couple of our Irish friends are meeting up for four days , Gaslight being the special nights entertainment, by making it into a small holiday it makes the trip worth while.
Feeling more excitted and more relaxed now that I have at least one show booked up for this year.

I don't think they do this on purpose. It somehow looks to me that they decided to play some festival (which I guess are not already announced fully by the organisers) and once they are already over here, they thought it's a good idea to play some clbb gigs in between. Does that make sense to anyone?

No, makes no sense. Why no UK festivals with UK club gigs in between?

I wonder if the UK tour hold up revolves around something special.
