Ooh Mezz.
I am there

Thanks!

[Bumblebee]

Probably a SXSW confirmation if you look at the handful of days off between both Texas performances.

On their forum one of th eband mebers mentions this tour won't make a penny, but they hope for more shows later this year if there is demand.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

Ahh fuck I'm going to be out of town that day I want to see them bad.

[keeshonjohnson]

Just bought my tickets for the Toronto show, can't wait!

[chiapet]

Ooh Mezz.
I am there

Thanks!

FUCK YES

The History of Modern tour is now officially heading stateside this March with North American stops including Boston, NY, LA, SF, Toronto and playing select shows at this year’s SXSW. It will be the group’s first US outing with the original line up since their 1988 stadium tour with Depeche Mode. After three years of critically acclaimed sold- out concerts in the UK and Europe these dates will feature the band mixing their most celebrated and classic hits; ‘Enola Gay’, ‘So In Love’ and ‘Souvenir’ with new songs, creating a distinctly contemporary live show. The tour is back to basics - OMD just really wanted to get to North America and start playing so it will be like the old days... band, audience and songs!

[SEEDYMIG420]

Too bad, though. OMD would have been great at Coachella.

[chiapet]

What the fuck, people! Finally the tour is announced and we have had nothing to say about this since?

Ordered my ticket today... I think I am more excited for OMD than I am for Coachella, at this point.

[summerkid]

My Girlfriend's 21st birthday is the same day as the LA show so unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it. ) :

[HandBanana]

I am very psyched.
Cant afford to pop tickets til feb 1 tho.

From OMD's site:

Listen to Simon Mayo's show on Radio 2 next Monday to hear some very exciting OMD news! 17:20...That's all we can say for now...!

Simon Mayo's is this one.

Hrm... Monday morning, 9:20AM PST, I am pretending that this will be a Coachella appearance announcement. Now I am going to go celebrate until Monday, when it turns out to be something lame and disappointing.


ps I just became a scooper/dorkfish/supre type person, didn't I? sorry guys. I can't stop speculating.

[jazzz]

got my ticket for the music box gig. I was talked into the meet n' greet bullshit.

but yeah that would be great if they did end up playing Coachella

[concertgoer]

Fucking sucks that the closest OMD is coming to me is Atlanta
I was really hoping for a Coachella set

[heart cooks brain]

Same. Chicago or Toronto for me.

[dorkfish]

ps I just became a scooper/dorkfish/supre type person, didn't I? sorry guys. I can't stop speculating.

I'm mildly insulted.

[jazzz]

oh yeah I'm sure most people in this thread will be happy to know that Blancmange has new record dropping next month. I doubt they will show up on the line up but that would be a great surprise.

[concertgoer]

Same. Chicago or Toronto for me.

Both are much closer for you than Atlanta is for me
Are you going to see them?

[chiapet]

I'm mildly insulted.

Sorry, I put you in a bad class there, didn't I? was kidding...

[heart cooks brain]

I might be going to Chicago around then anyway. If I end up making the trip I'll probably get a ticket.

[concertgoer]

I might be tempted to fly up for the Chicago show since it's on a Saturday and I know a couple of people who are going.
I probably wont go though

[heart cooks brain]

I just realized that's the same day as Bright Eyes in Royal Oak. Looks like it's not happening.

[concertgoer]

I already have my Bright Eyes ticket for their show here

[RockinChief21]

probz be seeing these guys at SXSW....should be fun

[gaypalmsprings]

I'll be seeing them in LA.

[gaypalmsprings]

Sold out in L.A. already. That was fast!

[chiapet]

Wow! They announced today that they moved the SF show from the Mezzanine to the Fox Theater. Wondering if it's due to ticket sales / capacity - the fox holds at least 2x, maybe 3x as many people.

[SEEDYMIG420]

I can't wait. I knew it would sell out in L.A.. Glad I got my ticket.
