I'm in a facebook group where an individual claimed we would hear the first leg of tour dates later this week? Any truth to this? Sorry, I'm foaming at the mouth; I will literally take anything at this point.

Let's go Philly! 3 nights at the Mann! :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

if the tour was to be announced and tickets went on sale this friday, i think we would have seen a Roll Call email by now? assuming?

i'm betting on next week for the announcement

millerjustin

several sources (including band members) at OBH consistently confirmed that we would get tour announcement by the end of February and new album on 5/5. 

Given the holiday week, I'd be shocked if they announce with week and tickets go on sale by 2/20....would seem more likely that we get an announce next Monday and roll call on sale by 2/27. just my opinion though

Hoping for double Mann and Triple RR!

I think next week based on the Alabama Shakes announcement.

I wonder when they will release a single.  Shortly after tour/album announcement?

the shows at the MANN have been incredibly successful night but neither have sold out. you gotta sell out 1 before you book a double-header

i love the mann. i kinda hope they play the Forest Hill Stadium in Queens. Such a cool venue

no one seems to sell out at the mann.. mid level bands always play there that haven't quite got the fanbase to play wells fargo... good atmosphere either way.

Add War on Drugs or Dr Dog and I think you'll get the sell out.

I would ABSOLUTELY be down for War on Drugs as a tour leg opener.  ABSOLUTELY. 

The dude fit in so well on stage with the jacket as well.  His style of playing is so different from what Jim or Carl do that he has his own musical space to work with and I could easily see him sitting in for significant amounts of time like at OBH.  Although, i'm guessing that was just a "special" thing. 

Also, let's keep Jim in that weird new trench coat thing and the knuckle length golden gloves.  I'm diggin whatever vibe that is.

Justin, I know a girl named Jennifer in your neck of the woods that would probably go out on a date with you. I can't promise anything, but who knows  :evil:

based on nothing but a hunch, I'd bet we see dates and/or record info on Monday...and they are doing a special on them on World Cafe right now, national NPR radio show...seems like perfect preface to news!

David Dye ended the interview saying "new record in April"
