This was the 2008 tour! Was really excited as well. They're only doing 1 UK festival date (Rewind 80s shite festival) in Aug. Let's hope they stick around for a few other proper dates.

I don't remember much of the 80's so it'd be difficult to relive them. :grin:

Not a change of date...just a new date.

The dates in the first post are from 2008. :lol:

Playing Glesgae too :smile:

probably wait til nearer to the time as it's in the middle of the Summer Holidays and we could be on vacation.

Noticed they're playing the smaller O2 ABC this time, the Academy was very busy the last time they played Scotchland. :?

Dates are actually..

Monday 12th August - Glasgow, O2 ABC
Tuesday 13th August - Manchester Academy
Thursday 15th August - Birmingham O2 Academy
Friday 16th August - London, IndigO2

I have information on one of the possible support bands for all but the Glasgow date but I'm not allowed to mention them 'cause I'm their driver and they haven't signed the contracts yet.
However, it looks like I'll be at three of these dates and getting paid as well. :)
