Was going to suggest a similar thread.

Definatly going to try get to Oxford, have no one to go with though (only 2 people I know like them and one of them has work on tuesdays).

Only problem is the Oxford academy is in the middle of nowhere, going to be a pain getting there and even worse getting back looking at the bus times.

I'll be getting tickets for the Birmingham dates, exams should have finished by then as well so that'll be good

if anyone wants to try and do a london meet up again then i'm up for it? hopefully will go a bit better than the last one *ahem* stalls standing *ahem* woop woop can't wait! this has made my week and it's been a pretty good one already!

London is the only possible for me. Gonna persuade the girlfriend to get tickets to the right show this time so she can finally see the guys live plus gives her a break form her work placement and gets a day out in London win win!

I'll be at Glastonbury.

May try and get Birmingham in on the way to it.

I will probably an European tour.
July 01 - Amsterdam, Melkweg.

This time they will play the Max.

Assuming they don't add an Irish show I'll be looking at going to the London show. Does the HMV Forum have a big capacity??

2100-2300 according to a few sites.

Not too big.

wow, are all the venues that big?

Most of the academies will be around the 1000 mark I think, Oxford is apparently only 600 big or so.

Maybe not:

Birmingham: 3000
Manchester/Glasgow - 2300
Oxford - 1000

Might make me go to Oxford even more, by far the smallest venue.

I was gonna say, I knew they were big in the UK...but thats huge. I always have more fun at the smaller venues personally.

After the show, maybe; it's a Saturday after all?

I am thinking of going to Birmigham, London and Oxford.

Great to see that the guys are touring, they better be at Glstonbury though 'cause otherwise I'm not going to see them. I have tickets for Pearl Jam in Dublin and Belfast and that will be epic!

damn you brits! what's this business about titling the record "american slang" and then announcing tour dates for england?

We'll get our fill sooner or later, there is a ton of TGA to go around

Very intimate but big enough that I think I'd be able to get a few tickets. I#d be up for meeting up for a few drinks pre or post show.

Have a big summer planned, the 2 Irish Pearl Jam shows, Glastonbury, trying to see if I can fit in Oxford and Amsterdam either side of another PJ show in Berlin.

HMV forum is big yeah but doesn't feel huge. i think it just feels wider rather than longer.

Yeah the layout is kinda weird to with the raised bits at the back. However its a convenient venue due to its location but not my fave.

Birmingham, Manchester and London for me...

For all you football fans, the London show may coincide with England's Quarter Final match if they qualify as winners of their group

not the Quarter Finals, but the Round of 16

we need some US tour dates

You just had a massive tour!

Anyway the first show is on the 22nd. However Hot Water Music are playing in London on the 21st and the two bands have played together before so am I just being over optimistic about the possibility of Gaslight supporting HWM? The fact the first release of these dates had headline shows in brackets makes me a tad more hopeful as well.

Yes you're right...I'm not surprised I was wrong...Wolverhampton people know very little about football
