My Official prediction

[Uncle Liam]

Following last years entirely correct prediction that The Police would be headlining, after some conversations last night, my prediction for sunday night is...

Depeche Mode.

press announcement on Monday, concerning album and possibly tour. Doing the cricket ground

I might be finished by then, so if its true i might go.

I've probably but 2+2 together and got five. But there you go.

Doubt they will play Glasto then, only day free is the 28th (Sunday)

[darrenbha]

Have to catch them somewhere think isle of wight would be the most likely were they to do a festival.

[Uncle Liam]

Do you know when they're playing the cricket ground? Think I might get myself along

These are their reported tour dates

10/05 - Tel Aviv, Israel

12/05 - Athens, Greece

14/05 - Istanbul, Turkey

04/06 - Düsseldorf, Germany

10/06 - Berlin, Germany

12/06 - Frankfurt, Germany

13/06 - Munich, Germany

22/06 - Bratislava, Slovakia

25/06 - Prague, Czech Republic

27/06 - Paris, France

02/07 - Bergen, Norway

Shows will also, apparently include; Tallin, Brussels, Lyon, Sofia, Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest, London, Manchester and Warsaw.

Not sure if they will play IOW from those dates. But I imagine that Rock Werchter in Belgium is a good bet.

IOW still a possibily, as is Glastonbury. No Scottish dates so possibly an appearance at T in the Park or Connect. I'm looking at London, but I probably wont be able to make it, Berlin might be a better option.

[Uncle Liam]

Telling you, Sunday IOW headline slot, UK exclusive.

No Spanish date, which means Summercase or Benicassim after Portugal. Never been to Portugal, and could do that festival, then head to Barca for Summercase.

London for me. Seocnd night will be added as well. Registered for pre sale. Up in the morning!

I remember reading an article with the band, with them stating that they loved Benicassim, so if they're choosing some dates then maybe Benicassim is more likely. Depends whose paying more money I suppose. When do IOW headliners get announced, around December/January isn't it?

And why only London, thought you might be going around with the band?

No Dublin date either, so maybe a show at Marlay Park in the summer.

[twenty_foot_chickens]

No, i'll do a few but i'm trying to save up for Arcade Fire in Canada at some point.

There's also the matter that I will still doing my PGCE then. Should be finished by July 11th though so thats why i'm planning on going there. IOW is pretty much a no no, unless AF or Interpol do it, which they wont, so its a moot point...

[Uncle Liam]

Excellent, I've got exams until June 3rd so that's why I'm not going to be able to get to London; planning on going to Berlin and Hamburg this summer anyway, with a festival in Belgium (Rock Werchter or Pukkelpop) as well. Which festival do you plan to go to instead of IOW then?

[Andrew_iow]

I had to go and google them but I know their songs and you know I personal wouldn't mind them for sunday.

All I ever wanted is here. lol

[pc18568]

They're total crap compared to what they used to be like, still wouldn't mind them on Sunday night. They've got to be better than the Police.

[Wellydancer]

I don't think there's any way logistically they could do the IOW sunday unless they're a two-rig (or whatever you want to call it) tour and the way the other dates are spaced it makes me think not...
