So this means they won't be playing in the US when I'm there  :'(

I could always cancel my trip & go home...

Le National in Montreal is a small and intimate venue. The Kool Haus in Toronto is a cavernous and dreary place. I'm sad that they are booked in Kool Haus, although I'll be at the show.

Tough luck, DB. Ask the band's management about the possibility of Japan dates???

But this completely backs up the band's comment about an August tour. And congrats to all you lucky souls in Louisville, as the band will surely give you a performance to remember!

Also: Glastonbury!  :D

Thanks Dark  :)

Yeah Glastonbury could win them a lot of UK fans.

Apparently ticket sales are the worst in years & many believe it's due to Jay-Z headlining. I read that he may pull out...

Too bad!

In the meanwhile, I'm considering Amsterdam.

Not making the mistake of getting too excited again though :)

I'm up for Nottingham (it's a Friday!) and London.  Can't make the others for a variety of reasons (mainly work).

Id seriously like to hit up the MTL show, see them in a small intimate venue. I just dont know if i can drive fast enough back from 'Roo. What is it 2500 miles from tennesee and 2 days??   its do-able, but i wonder what condition ill be in while driving home.


Maybe i can get a flight with the band??!?!?!?!?

This just might be the best summer EVER!! (at least the month of june anyway!)

driving from the bon to montreal is pretty heavy.  let's see...  i would estimate you're dealing with at least a 13 hour drive from tenn to toronto (nashville is about 12, i think).  toronto to montreal, depending on traffic, it's safe to give yourself about 7 hours, sometimes more.  yeah.  that's a lot of driving.  give yourself time for the border, too.

google maps says manchester to montreal is 18 1/2 hours.
that's a long haul...

Does anybody know when tickets to the toronto show go on sale?
Thanks

Can't help with Canadian tickets, but UK dates go on sale Friday 18th April at 9am, on Seetickets.  Gigantic.com has Nottingham and Bristol tickets for sale from midnight...

So close, yet so far.  Surely a Western Canadian date can be added somewhere.   :-/

Now all they have to do is announce Aus dates... It's awesome that they're playing Europe and Canada though.

i just bought a ticket for the show in cologne. it says it isn't at gebäude 9 (as the official mmj home page says) but in a club called luxor.
http://www.luxor-koeln.de/

the luxor homepage also says that mmj will play there, so for every one who's interested in the cologne concert: it might be at the luxor!

I think MMJ just got added to a festival in Ireland called the Oxegen Festival.  It says they are playing on July 12th, 2008.
