    I don't see a mention on the Gomez page.

    Either way, so great to see this finally happening. Really hope they do this in the states as well. It would make my year!!

    Fucking awesome! I haven't listened to Gomez in a while, and I don't know why. Going to have to start listening again before the tour.

    Great news

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    the 1st two are always good... just listen to them on Spotify... rather than buy all their albums. 8-)

    Not overly impressed with this to be honest, but as long as they give it a good go then thats all that matters.

    Dammnit why did Kings of Leon have to explode and become huge in their own right -would have loved to see them support again and break out a bit of Slow Night, So Long with Eddie Mr Tambourine Man.

    Oh well...

    Seen Gomez a good few times and they're excellent live...this is the best support I'll have seen with PJ (any other shows the supports has been pretty shit (bar idlewild)...hope I'll be able to drag meself out of the bar to watch :lol: Mrs Al loves Gomez...so its a happy household 8-)
    I need a coffee!

    My mate used to live next door to one of the bandmembers in Southport.

    I'm not a big fan of theirs to be honest.

    Definitely 'Bring It On' and 'Liquid Skin'. Their second last album 'How We Operate' was a clear return to form for the boys. I have the new album but have not given it a good listen yet. They had a few albums in the middle where they experimented around a litte with electronica etc which I still enjoy but those 3 albums are super. But that's just my opinion. You don't win the Mercury Music Prize with your first album unless you a packing something special so go straight to 'Bring It On'. In reflection, some Albums have a cetain time/place feeling to them so it may not resonate as well these days if you are just getting into them but go ahead for sure and broaden your musical horizons. Love me a bit of 'Mez.
