No idea why it didn’t embed

 

UK FIRST UP, SEE YOU IN LONDON BAYBEEEE

 

Can’t believe they’re not going to Stoke-on-Trent. Cowards

 

This re-release feels like it's taking an age. When are we expecting it?

 

my tin hat theory is that they weren't expecting the buzz for this anniversary to be so big that they've now had to pivot to bigger plans which is why it's taking so long. makes me wonder how long the US tour will end up being.

 

Wasn't the re-release just announced this month?

 

yeah but it's kinda been the world's worst kept secret lmao

 

I think it'll now be out late this year or January ahead of those dates. It makes no sense at all to play 3500 miles away without new vinyl or merch to sling at the shows.

 

I would not be surprised if the US tour is only a short tour hitting select major markets.

 

I believe it is a full-ass tour.

 

4 philly dates on the USA tour lol

 

I am irrationally worried that I'm going to accidentally plan something I can't move on the day they're in Chicago. Need those dates ASAP.

 

Sweet! Could see the UK version being shorter due to the cost of touring. Interested to see who they bring out for this!

 

Cost of touring is for sure a factor but at the same time I would say they could sell out a 10 date UK & Ireland tour with smart venue booking etc.

 

they skipped orlando on the greatest gen tour so i'm praying they come through here. i would be crushed if i had to miss another "formative album to my existence played in full by the wonder years"

 

Brexit has fucked the touring landscape for bands like this. I remember talking to Dan after their 2022 Glasgow show and he was like 'we need to go where we're both wanted and know we won't make an overall loss on the tour'. They sold out Dublin in 2018 but can't justify coming back with all the red tape.

 

Insert joke about about cold, rainy Wednesday nights

 

Thankfully they are doing it on invariably cold and rainy nights in four other cities!

 

Sadly not mine, but I'll go London for sure.

Every time I see them, I think "I've probably seen them enough." And then they announce a tour and I immediately decide I'm going. 24th time is the charm, I guess.

 

The likelihood of them ever coming to me again is so slim I just think 'fuck it' when I see this happen, they only gave me one of the best shows I've ever fucking seen last time!

 

Four??

 

They going to do a vinyl pre order too?

 

Yeah, I guess I just didn't expect anything similar to a new album roll-out for a re-release. I had hoped/ imagined this would have been a quick drop.
