I dunno,this thread is enough.

Yeah but you're missing out on all the excitement of the Manics fans in America/Canada/South America! Bless them! Hope this tour does go ahead for them and that there aren't any hitches. Nicky has a bad stomach at the moment so get well soon Wire!

VIBRANT!!! The Manics are playing a gig in Vancouver as part of their North American tour which appears to be actually happening! Dates popping up everywhere. Thought you might be interested!

Hehe you must be a huge fan!!

21/09/09 - Neumos, Seattle, WA, US.

22/09/09 - Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

30/09/09 - Varsity Theatre, Minneapolis, MN, US.

02/10/09 - Majestic Theatre, Detroit, MI, US.

08/10/09 - Paradise Club Boston, MA, US.

 

These are the dates so far, will put up any more as when they come up!

So, anyone gonna be heading stateside to go and see them? Any North American fans on here going?

I'll be seeing them in about 1 1/2 weeks.

 

Damn, it's been ages since I last saw them. I think it was 2001 or something.

Will that be for one of the European festivals then RadioMad? I keep losing track of what they've done and what they haven't done at the minute. They've just done a festival in Serbia, I know that!

They are due to do a proper UK tour at some point for the new album.

I take it your a fan then david?

They're doing a tour of North America in October so don't know when the next UK tour will be, after the new album is released I expect.

Yep :)

Early next year maybe?

Hopefully! Still, us UK fans have had a tour whilst the ones across the pond have been waiting for ten years so we shouldn't be greedy! Anyone seen Vibrant Oxymoron about? Dunno if she knows they're playing Canada yet.

Has it really been 10 years since the manics played America?

Vibrant isn't on much lately, but I told her your message and she is super excited, but wishing they'd do more of Canada because even though it's the same country, it would still be about a 2300 km drive.

Yep, it was way back in 1999 when the Manics last played in the US. Thanks for passing on the message to Vibrant for me Tonii. Lots of fans are praying for them to add a date in Toronto so I will put up any new information as soon as I get it. They've never played in South America (Cuba doesn't count!) so think of those fans in Chile/Brazil etc who keep hoping!

New Canadian date -

 

10/10/09 - Phoenix Centre, Toronto, ON, Canada.

NME have confirmed the tour on their website. It's REALLY gonna happen! Woohoo!

Any NZ dates?

No mention of any dates for the Southern hemisphere I'm afraid. They did do the Big Day Out in Austrailia one year but that was a while back. You heading off to New Zealand at some point then Rick?
