I thought it was great when PJ toured Canada in '05, but in '07 I'd like to see them go south... all the way. I want them to tour Antarctica, and in lieu of profit from ticket sales promote the hell out of the official bootlegs for the shows. Let's see Ticketmaster try and set that up.

20+ some landing strips and heli-pads... I'm sure they could find four to eight stations to play. Now I know most stations aren't ideal venues for gigs, so expect most of these shows to be very limited in scale but very distinguished in scope. If they've got all these extra songs laying about, this would be a wild place to premiere them...

With the dispute of the continent's territorial borders and the fact it's a global-warming hotbed, I see it as an ideal task for the boys and think they should give it a go. Protest something there, fuck, anything.

They've done the UK... it's time to tour where no band has dared tour before. The deep-Southern-south, The Five-Against-Mother Nature Tour 2007', on the world's biggest party island (or so I hear)...

8 dates is about right although i would be over the moon with 8 in scotland alone!

ok... could be £700 quid for a week... travelodge is £15/£26 per room... 7 x 25 = 175..

this means instead of £700, i could stay in a lodge all week for 525 quid less...

beer money, t-shirts, etc!!


VW camper can get tae fuck :(

Lol, I think we might be needing them all

How much are they?

I think a more realistic expectation would be:

Wembley x2
Cardiff
Manchester
Glasgow
possibly Belfast

then
Germany
Norway
Sweden
Finland
St. Petersburg..Moscow?
Riga (Latvia)
Poland

Something was mentioned on the Euro tour I do believe Can't remember who, what, how or why though

Yeah, I mean I've heard about the 2007 rumours too, but that was for Europe in general. As much as I'd love for them to play 8 shows in the UK I really don't think that's realistic. They're not Razorlight ffs. I'm sort of hoping that they don't come back in February as was rumoured. For one, I need more time to rebuild my drained bank account and for another I really, really wouldn't look forward to waiting outside for 8 hours per show in the winter.

This is of course after they play a couple of dozen shows in southern states.....

No it was mentioned at one of the Europe shows. Ed said something backstage to someone, can't remember who. Might be bs but hey, gotta keep thinking positively

Wembley was mentionned backstage in Reading apparently...considering Ed's reaction there, that makes sense.
if they play Wembley they will play some other UK dates.

The Swedes and the Polish were out in force along the Eurotrail so can't see them being ignored..they certainly were acknowledged at several shows..

Burtschips said something in Zagreb about getting a very clear nod from Jeff about further shows next year...sorry can't remember exactly the details..was in a bit of a haze..he'll be back today so he'll clarify.
