Gravel-thoated Lothario Tom Waits has announced the initial batch of European dates to his Glitter and Doom tour this summer, taking in Czech plains and Catalunyan climbs on his way, it all kicking off in Barcelona on July 14.
The dates are due to mark the Eridanus constellation, we've no idea whether more dates are planned.
July
14-15 Barcelona Auditorium Forum
17-19 Milan Teatro Degli Arcimboldi
21-22 Prague KCP
24-25 Paris Grand Rex
27-28 Edinburgh Playhouse
30-31 Dublin The Ratcellar at Phoenix Park
August
1 Dublin The Ratcellar at Phoenix Park
That’s right. No London dates yet.
Speaking to Pitchfork yesterday, Waits said his backing band (Larry Taylor, Patrick Warren, Omar Torrez, Vincent Henry, Casey Waits) “play with racecar precision and they are all true conjurers. I'm doing songs with them I've never attempted outside the studio. They are all multi-instrumentalists and they polka like real men.”

Share on FacebookMmmmmmm Prague on my birthday or a trip to Edinburgh?
Time to price up trips methinks
I'm kinda hoping that there isn't a London date
So I can enjoy people complaining about having to travel.
how
I am supposed to get to any of these? Waits you naughty man.
I will go anywhere in Europe to see him.....
but obviously edinburgh would do nicely.
All you london people can stop complainging:
£75QUID
For fucks sake :(
go - it'll be worth it.
i'd happily spend £75 to see him play. i don't know if i can justify spending £100 for flights and a hotel for the night though.
i paid near enough £100 to see neil young
but then again, neil young has actual songs...
tricky.
There are trains and buses in the UK
which is pretty good
£75 a ticket?
Yeah, nice one.
He really needs to...
...leave the megaphone and assorted shit at home, put on his old suit and hat and start playing fucking proper music again.
'Nighthawks at the Diner' was amazing. That's Tom Waits proper.
He's gone mental.
this is going to be phenomenomenomenomenal
I don't care what he plays, i have written the review in my head already, "ace-o!!"
any idea when these go on sale?
Day after boyfriend's birthday = perfect gift. Cheers Mr Waits.
on the real gone
tour, my mate and i shelled out for the amsterdam gig.
tickets, hotel, flights, spends.. mustve been over £300 all in. always said we'd go anywhere to see him given the chance. worth every penny.
now that i've done it once it seems a bit much to justify £75/£95 a ticket. on the other hand im 10 minutes from the playhouse...
decisions decisions
Tuesday 28th
tickets on sale.
from ticketmaster website, I thinks.
last year i saw prince on my birthday
this year, i will have the heartbreak of not getting to see tom waits.
but seriously- why the hell are the tickets to the european shows 3 times that of the US shows....bad form tom, bad form.
clearly they are getting around ticket touting by charging tout prices themselves, meaning only the 'real' fans can get in...(or alternatively for 'real' read 'rich'
I could have sworn...
somebody earlier tried to suggest Neil Young is superior to tom waits. nah, I must be, as they say, trippin'.
