Coo-oo-oonqueest: White Stripes UK tour
- Artists:
- The White Stripes »
The White Stripes will return to the UK again later this year for an arena-sized tour.
The band - who I thought were one of the world's biggest, only for the office to shoot that theory down in flames - will play the following dates this winter:
October
24 Glasgow SECC
25 Manchester MEN Arena
26 Newcastle Metro Arena
28 Birmingham NEC
29 Cardiff International Arena
31 Sheffield Hallam Arena
November
1 Nottingham Arena
2 London O2 Arena
Tickets will go on sale this Friday the 13th of July at 12pm. You'll find them here, except if you're unlucky enough to live in Glasgow - yours are here.

I'd back you up on that
These dates (in big places) will sell out in no time. People probably only associate crap bands like u2 and the chilli bobbins as being big. They are not that massive but I would say they are in the next level of big bands.
Bring on Birmingham, nottingham and the dome.
i have no money
but im going one way or another!
i thought this
title hinted that raco-oo-oon were supporting the white stripes. never mind
These days
everything sells out in no time at all. Actually, there's got to be a forum discussion topic in this somewhere... why is it that as demand for gigs has increased, more and more venues are closing down. I was at the Scala last night, and it was completely sold out - there were even touts, which you don't often see at venues of that size.
ticketmaster shows
cardiff being £27.50.
Others are probably the same apart from the dome which will prob be about £30.
Me too
it's the only reason I read this.
"unlucky enough to live in Glasgow"
what a cunt.
Shall I leave it?
Yeah, I'll leave it.
MEN!
What a hole. I'll be there regardless.
How big is the Nottingham Arena?
I say it's about the same size
as the NEC. Get standing though.
standing
it's the only way I know how.
I think it holds
about 7500, about half of which are standing room.
...
it is a shit venue though
