I know that someone says this everytime

but no Scotland? I think they're playing the Saturday of T in between the Leeds and Gateshead dates, but is a standalone Glasgow or Edinburgh date really too much to ask for?

- I got so excited when I saw UK tour dates
  
  Why is it not just English tour dates? I see no Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland here? It's too late for this kind of disappointment (I work nightshift).

  - It just doesn't really make sense on any level
    
    They're already up playing in Scotland that weekend, so they can't argue it's an expensive detour, and surely they'd get a crowd at least as big as the one they;d get in Gateshead?
    
    The only thing i can think of is the bastards at T have gotten them as an exclusive Scottish show, that or they're just being a bit mean :(

    - they'll have signed a thing saying they can't play elsewhere in Scotland
      
      because they're playing T

      - Thought that would be the case
        
        Thanks for confirming though. Looks like I need to get myself a ticket to T, then... though it's not uncommon that once a festival sells out they start to relax the exclusivity clause for most bands regarding small, warm-up gigs, is it?
        
        Having said that, their schedule is full at the time, so I doubt that's likely :/

    - Gutted that it's T weekend they're playing Gateshead
      
      A trip down there would totally be worthwhile to see them but it's almost impossible to get time off work that weekend.

    Good gig and they played some of the older stuff too, but somewhat marred by the starstruck fan who kept shouting "It's Johnny Marr" throughout the gig (pun intended naturally).

I wonder

if they'll be headlining Truck?

It's the 19th/20th

Probably not

But that would be SWEET

Also surely a schedule like this indicates that the new album will be out this year

surely? right? they never tour the UK unless they're promoting stuff.

  - Yup
    
    the problem is Concorde 2 is only a 600 capacity venue.... after that you make a huge leap to the Dome/Brighton Centre which are way bigger... after seeing them at The Royal Albert Hall I think they'll always suit a smaller venue then anything close to that.

Brighton tickets got

So excited for this and a new album. Saw them in the Concorde 2 in 2004, and then few years later at Koko (albeit during the Johnny Marr years) and Concorde was so much better, make the trip down, it will be worth it!

Really hope they don't upgrade, especially to somewhere like the Corn Exchange. Can't see it going to the Brighton Centre from the Concorde 2 though, fingers crossed.

- I always forget Corn Exchange exists ha
  
  yeah that'd be more likely, but I really don't like the Corn Exchange, it feels like a school hall

  - It really does feel like a school hall
    
    Terrible venue, and one of the very few we have of that size.
    
    Either way though, pretty excited to see them. Have no idea what any new material will sound like, but as long as they keep playing some classics it will be awesome!

Pondering the Birmingham gig

Same travel time from Oxford and it's close to the station. And it's not sold out already..! Plus maybe I can go see Nils Frahm on the day of the london show instead.

Might do Leeds as well if it doesn't sell out.. Cockpit's a bit rubbish though

Anyone see them when they weren't that big? I remember excellent

gigs of theirs at The Garage years ago, perhaps late 90s. There was a brilliant gig at The Scala in 2004 where The Shins supported them too.

went to see bright eyes at shepherds bush

specifically to see them support in I think 2004, but the show at troxy a few years ago was a lot better
