Summer Shows, 2010

ANY NEWS ON SUPPORT ACTS ??

Personally, I'd be crazy enough to consider flying to Norway if Greenland Whalefishers were to open for Pogues there.

Quite frankly, I think it would be even crazier to NOT go, even if the GWF aren't opening. I just can't believe that I get to see them!
Besides, I think GWF are touring the US now? Not sure... It would indeed be great if they were to open, though.

After attending Pogues-gigs in Münster and Amsterdam,
I feel I need the little extra incentive to travel to Drammen

ANY NEWS ON SUPPORT ACTS ??

Is there any news on which bands support Pogues where ??
Mr. Irish Bastard to in their home town Münster, but what about other cities/bands ??

Personally, I'd be crazy enough to consider flying to Norway if Greenland Whalefishers were to open for Pogues there.

on a more general note: would it not be a nice gesture if Pogues would give local folkbands the opportunity to open for them ??

Only a few weeks and then finally begins, the summer tour. I can not wait even after all these years finally concerts in Germany. Would visit on any event, the concerts in Hamburg and Munster. Is there a chance to hear FONY?

It may well be true there's a Rumour. What there isn't is a Show.

Because of a change in my own schedule, I will now, after all, be performing with the band in both Drammen and Moscow.

That's great news! I know a lot of people (myself included) was sad to hear you wouldn't be performing in Drammen, but now I can tell them that you will after all.

Expect yet another sold-out gig in Drammen. The local paper "Drammen's Tidende" reported on the 24th of June that Union Scene had already sold over 3/4 of the tickets. I will be there, front and center!

Hamburg is max. 4000
Berlin is variable from 3000 - 10000
Leipzig is max. 3000
Luxemburg is max. 6500
Amsterdam is max. 1500
Drammen is ca. 1000

I found no information for Münster and Moscow.

[MacPaddy]

Drammen fits more like 1300-1400. But still, not a very big venue.
