Thanks. No worries though, got a few standing this morning. There had been a presale option on Ticketmaster on Wednesday but there was nothing from Ticketmaster/MCD about it so thought maybe it was a 45 club thing. Haven't seen anyone on the web with any info on what it was about, so if it was 45, either A) people are (rightly) keeping details to themselves or B) there's very few Irish members.

Also, I always thought there Irish date this year would be a slot supporting Bon Jovi at Slane, which is only two days before this. Wouldn't be surprised to see them play there still.

The second Dublin date is on sale!

And I really really hope they will not support Bon Jovi! That would be the worst they could do but I think they will not. I guess they will be playing more festivals the weekend before the Dublin dates. Still hope they will play Pink Pop.

Supporting Bon Jovi would be a huge exposure for them, if offered it they'd be mad to turn it down. Festivals would be better, can't imagine they'd want to watch Bon Jovi stink a stadium out every night either!

Brian is not a massive fan of JBJ .

Is there a story there?

I'm just speculating based on the fact it would be a good fit, get huge exposure, in Ireland anyway, and they're obviously sticking around for a few days (a second show was announced yesterday when the first show sold well)

heard im say it more than once at shows .

I also heard him say that in some interviews.

Yes it would be a big exposure for them but I'm not sure this exposure woudl help them. BJ are not what they used to be and BJ fans are not the most open minded people. Also the last tours BJ didnt have a decent support act so actually I think Gaslight are too big already to support BJ.

Hope so too! I've also heard a rumour about them supporting Bruce Springsteen in Nijmegen at June 22nd.

I don't think that this rumour will come true. Bruce never has support bands. Altho it would be pretty amazing if it was true! Nijmegen is just aroudn the corner from where I live and I wanna go to see Bruce there anyway.

I haven't bought a ticket to the Springsteen show yet. But apperantly the tickets say Bruce Spring & The E Street Band + special guests. So... Since there might be a support act, and since the guys are in the "neighbourhood" (playing Southside and Hurricane that same weekend), strange but awesome things might happen!

Wow, that would be amazing. Crossing all my fingers!!!

Has anyone got their Bristol tickets yet?
Got my Leeds ages ago but no Bristol ..

Thanks

I've not got my Leeds ones yet. I got an email about 2 weeks ago saying they might not turn up until about 2 weeks before the gig.

I guess it's down to who you book with.

I really hope they'll be playing Pinkpop next year! They've been there 2009 and 2011, so next might be possible!
I would even only buy a day ticket, cause it's just around the corner for me and then do Hurricane the weekend after!

Bruce will definitely have support bands in Belgium - he plays TW Classic, which is sort of a one-day festival, with one headliner and four or five bands before the headliner (most of the times a little bit similar to the main band). So yeah, that also crossed my mind already, would be very great

But if they wouldn't come: already got my tickets for London on March 30, should be pretty great already.

any word on supports yet then? I'd assume they'll be announced soon enough with the tour being just over two months away.

I just checked The Menzingers tour dates and they stop touring at the end of February. They're getting a little more exposure now so I think they could fit into the second slot, with a band like Sharks (or that size) getting the third. Just depends whether or not they've finished their touring cycle for OTIP.
