Does anyone else think it seems strange that they've announced the dates one by one so far?!
Most of them are festivals, so they can't announce until the festivals are ready to do so.
Good point, I was thinking about why they're doing it this way, but this makes perfect sense. I'd say they're dead certs for Download in the UK followed by a show or 2 at Brixton to be announced nearer the time. I hope so anyway!

they should play at Nova Rock festival in Austria beside Metallica, Machine Head and Slayer

I fully support this notion.
Metallica will play the whole black album, really need to see this.
Probably getting tickets to the Soundgarden show in Milan, though I'd really prefer an Austrian/German date (non-festival)...the venue's bad, the people there are super badly organized (I went to rock in idrho festival at the same place last year, it was super hot and they were out of water by 6 pm), and the accoustics suck (huge concrete building right next to it causing echoes)...but better than not seeing them at all!

Was thinking of splashing the cash and going to the Milan show, but just seen it's an outdoor venue... don't fancy running the risk of spending £££s and getting rained on all day. Hunkering down for some UK shows... come on Soundgarden don't let us down!
There's no way they'll leave the UK out, it just depends on whether they go solely for a festival.
I'd be amazed if it was anything other than a festival. At least it wont clash with the PJ show at the IOW!

they're 20€ cheaper than those for Milan, which is probably some kind of mini-festival anyway, and the location looks awesome...need to see how much this would cost me in total.

It's annoying they're drip feeding the dates. I'm tempted by both Berlin and Milan, I have friends in Milan, but I don't want to commit to those until UK dates are announced. From what I read though people who've been to these venues say the sound isn't that loud or too great, still I'm sure it will be fine and probably depends where you are.

It is very irritating that they are gradually releasing dates.
The whole reunion has been slow.
It's incredibly annoying - Soundgarden and Radiohead are doing my head in at the moment.
I don't mind waiting for something, but this drip... drip... ... ...drip... of dates is getting frustrating. Just announce a "Euro" tour or a "World" tour or a "UK" tour already!
It's really hard to keep up with date announcements when they're like this, and I know I'm inevitably going to miss "the one" that I will want to go to. Plus, it really can't be any good for them, can it? They're not going to make much of an impact publicity-wise, just randomly announcing a date every couple of weeks. GAH!!

Indeed. Makes it impossible to plan! Milan is just a 4 hour drive from my hometown, but as you mentioned, the sound at the venue isn't that great, neither is the organization. I don't see that show selling out anytime soon though, they had a festival last June with Foo Fighters who are bigger in Italy than Soundgarden, and that never even got close to selling out. I'm personally still hoping for a Munich, or even better, a Vienna date.
Getting tired of this wait that started over two years ago.
Can't believe it's been over 2 years... that is pretty ridiculous to have only come out with a greatest hits, a live album that was compiled in 97, and some US shows to date. Bit of a damp squib of a reunion, at least it's starting to pick up with the impending Oz tour and Euro dates getting announced. Then things should hopefully click into gear when the new album gets released this year.
Disgusting to think SG don't headline a festival like WTF, Prodigy omfg, um what happened to people who played instruments.
Prodigy will pack that field out as well, the laughable bit is that they've been essentially playing the very same set for the last 4 years. Download must be their last festival for a while.
Sucks for the UK SG fans who would've been hoping for a proper show, but unlikely that it'll happen this time. The day ticket price for this one will be in the region of £70 I expect... for the same money I expect you could get a sleazyjet/Ryanair flight and tickets to see a full show? I've not looked at ticket prices for the shows so may be way off the mark with that!
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

Yeah I know it's all about demand etc but it's so sad, the announcement Download Festival announcement said it was SPECIAL but didn't give them headline pfft...
I don't know too much about them, but they have been playing the same set?
They will play a proper show, Faith No More and tonnes of other bands have announced UK dates despite saying it's exclusive. A flight to Amsterdam from East Midlands is £20!

Pretty much the same set, yeah. Friends have seen them at multiple festivals and won't bother any more.
That's ridiculously cheap for a flight! The "special" in the announcement I think is probably putting a limit on what they can announce, i.e. once day tickets are sold above a certain percentage they can announce a night at Hammersmith, Brixton or Wembley (can't see it being anywhere other than those three). So not exclusivity but keeping it to seeming like a one-off type thing. If that makes any sense!

Will they definitely be doing day tickets? I'm not really that fussed about the first two days, but Soundgarden and Sabbath is a pretty good proposition.
they just don't go on sale until they judge how many weekend tickets they've sold
i'll be hoping to get a sunday day ticket now

So before Sabbath is interesting. Looks like it will just be a bonus seeing them then as I'm going to hit them at a real show.
