Damn, way too far from me.

Any other info about any other shows?

I'm guessing it'll only be a few in time for the festivals, hope they make it to Bristol.

Makes them a sure bet for Glasto I reckon.

yey i will without doubt be there, for my first proper gaslight show, cant wait.

I could probably get at least two of my friends to go to this and make a trip of it...

That's a week after the American Slang release. Could be their first show with the material? Or do you guys think will they pull out some of the new stuff at the start of festival season, even if its before the AS release / have a release show in new Brunswick before flying out there / simply do some other show between the 16th and 24th?

Definitely going to this. Hot Water Music on the day before too, so what a week!

first headline show maybe, other than a release show, but note the following post-release/pre-Academy appearances:

19 Jun 2010
SOUTHSIDE FESTIVAL Neuhausen ob Eck

20 Jun 2010
HURRICANE FESTIVAL Scheessel

Good news. That means Gaslight on Thursday and then off to London for Pearl Jam on the Friday. Great way to spend my 10th wedding anniversary!

Shows the band's progress from the Academy 3 show in Dec 08 to Academy 2 in Feb 09 and now the full Academy in June 10.

Tickets on sale 9 am on Friday. I'll try to add London to Manchester I think. Oxford and Glasgow are maybe too far and Birmingham is a no go because of HWM.

Gah the one date I could go to (London) is my Dads birthday could always get him tickets he enjoyed them before Springsteen at Hyde Park hhhmmm.

It's one of those "Homer" bowling ball situations isn't it? I say do it.

Will the new album be out by then? That would make the choice easy enouch I have seen Gaslight so many times before though hmmm. Might see if the Girlfriend can get time of work and make it to a Gaslight show this time (last time she got sent tickets to the wrong venue).

I've heard that it will be. But where I've heard it and how people know, I can't recall. Maybe somebody on here who is better informed and has a better memory than me can help?

Oxford...now thats MUCH easier.

Shame it won't be Bristol but was born in Oxford and never actually been on a night/gig there, what better way to start. Looks like I'll be on my own but it'll be worth it.
