      Hell yes!!

      Playing at Festering Hall is interesting, the place is a dump and looks like a big factory, but it does have a larger capacity than all non stadium venues in Melbourne so there shoul be a big crowd, sound won't be as good as The Forum, but fuck, I don't care really!

      I won't be able to totally relax until I actually see him walk out on stage, we all remember 1991 (although I was only 7 at the time, I was still on my way to that gig before the radio broadcast in the car on the way there!)

      "Milky" is gonna be well cheesed off at the thought of fitting his front of house sound gizzmo's and i-pads into two budget suitecases for these dates!!!!!
      If I was you "Milky" here is my advice swap the i-pads for i-phones cause they are a lot smaller also take cotton wool instead of ear defenders for that deja vu set-list!!!!
      Cheer up "Milky and think ert cash"

      how the hell would that stop him play australia. bands who have kids still tour the whole world, unless of course he used it as a excuse.

      NO!

      This is not good, I cannot relax.

      There is no Brisbane show ... and it is so close to Xmas. I already have holidays booked in Tasmania

      I am miserable

      I thought there were going to be 4 shows in Oz!?
      Is he maybe playing Falls Festival?

      Says there are 3 shows still to be announced, I'm guessing 1 NZ and 2 Aus.

      I'm starting to get a bit angry about this tour

      Did the organisers of this tour realise that flights interstate are 200%-300% the usual cost because it's so close to Xmas!?
      I just checked.
      If it was mid Dec or mid Jan it wouldn't be so bad.

      I'm going to be shattered if there is no Brisbane show

      This is pretty exciting for New Zealand audiences, who haven't had a visit since the Kill Uncle tour of 1991 - 21 years is a long time. I note that Saturday 15th December is the same night as the Devo/Simple Minds/The Church show in Auckland, which kinda cuts into the people-in-their-late-thirties/early-forties-recapturing-their-youth demographic. (Personally, I have no interest in seeing Simple Minds, but am a big Church fan, so was considering that show ... until now, obviously.)

      Librarian on Fire - guess I'll see you there?

      I echo the feelings of another forum poster.
      Brisbane show would be excellent, the Tivoli would be the perfect venue.
      Why should Sydney and Melbourne get all the good tours?
