Underworld to play Australia - We Love Winter Sounds June 2010

[Badger]

Great news this!

After just following Orbital all around Australia a week ago I get to see my other favourite band over here within a few months of each other!

What I really want to know though is WILL THERE BE A SOLO SHOW THIS TIME????? Loved seeing them over here on Bondi Beach for Shore Thing NYE 2008 (and at the Gold Coast Summerdayze festival a couple of days later) but they didn't do any side solo shows on that trip and really would love to see them play somewhere like The Hordern in Sydney again.

I suppose there will be no solo show announcements until We Love sells out but I bloody hope there is one.

If anyone happens to know anything....? :D Please tell.

Thanks for the news Matt. Been a long time since Underworld played any non-festival shows in Oz. Kinda means you get almost the same crowd pleasing setlist with maybe a few different songs but its never stopped me before...

[unwound floors]

Oh, so excited for this - my two favourite bands (Massive Attack, Underworld) within months of each other?

Crossing my fingers for sideshows..!

[spacejunk]

WOOOO HOOOO! Back in Oz for 3 weeks in June and now I hear this! I will back in the hometown (Melbourne) for the June 13 session. STOKED! Did you hear me? STOKED I SAID! :D:D:D

[ThingInABook]

great news!!! i wonder if they'll stop around here... *wishful thinking*

[finnas]

so i see they are going to play every major city in australia except brisbane. nothing new there for a massive international band i suppose....

can anybody here confirm or contradict this statement???

underworld if you can read this, come to brisbane, itll be massive - play at the riverstage at sunset it will be amazing!!!! ill be heartbroken if i have to miss you just for living up north.

[Champiness]

Woo! First Underworld show of the new year!
Is this the beginning of... *gasp* a summer tour?

I think Badger will be doing something like that. But every city you say? Perth too? Wheres Mike Long?

Agreed that they should definitely come to Brisbane, perhaps a mid-week gig just like Orbital did afew weeks ago

Lucky flights are cheap from brisbane down to sydney , will be great to see the lads again. Went to the Summadayse show in Melb last year which wasnt the best due to the technical difficulties and the guidos.

Whats the welovesounds vibe like ? I've always loved the Horden as a venue although the quality of sound can be hit and miss

[unwound floors]

I read something about people being idiots at their last show in Melbourne - what happened, exactly? Rude :|

Maybe if we pray hard enough, some sideshows will be announced... anyone care to join me?

[luminary]

I am definitely hoping and praying for sideshows ... however I am not sure how realistic that is.

Going to book my flights to Sydney, and possibly melbourne too

Melbourne was a a mix of technical issues with a guido crowd.. all steriods and spraytans that had no idea who UW were.

hmmm, that sounds like a typical sydney festival crowd....? :confused::rolleyes:

[Badger]

Yeah that sounds EXACTLY like a Sydney Festival crowd and will more than likely be what is at We Love this year too, that's why I'm praying for a sideshow too.

I will be going to the festival anyways because you can't turn down a chance to see Underworld Live just coz of a few vain meathead roid boys.

[luminary]

Tickets booked for We love Sounds in Sydney!

very excited!

[misc.]

thanks for coming back to Australia guys! we don't want to be forgotten :p

i believe i will be attending both Perth and Melbourne shows...

can we please get Peach Tree, You Do Scribble, Bamboo and Strumpet? :o

(and if i'm going to be demanding, 8 Ball, Luetin, Best Mamgu Ever and Glam Bucket?)

[unwound floors]

Add Banstyle to that list and this little Melbourne girl would die happily...

PS: are any Australians up for a dirty-forum meetup before the festivls start? Just throwin' it out there...
