Are Underworld playing <insert city/fest here> this year? Please read before asking!

[stimpee]

Welcome, new dirty.org member!

Before you go ahead and ask what many have asked before, which is "When are Underworld gonna play ?" or "Are Underworld gonna play this year/any time soon?", please take into consideration, that ANY TOUR DATES WILL BE POSTED AT THE TOP OF THIS FORUM IN A STICKY THREAD (a bit like this one).

As of right now, Underworld have announced summer tour dates for 2008. Please keep coming back to check, as this is the most likely place to find them!

Meanwhile, stick around and check out the rest of the forums and contribute words somewhere. Why not start in the noise (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17) forum and introduce yourselves (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showthread.php?t=50)?

Thank you for your patience,

Underworld are playing at my house............my house;)

[potatobroth]

Underworld just confirmed that they are in fact, playing at Dirty0900's house but that not even he will be allowed to attend as the entire show will be webcast solely to a video-to-text description service.

> 10:29:54:13pm GMT : Twist : Hyde strums G, prepares to change chord.
> 10:29:55:58pm GMT : Twist : Smith moves slider of "Deep Kick" to position 4.

An official transcript of the performance will be available through Teletext afterwards.

I think you guys are just jealous that Teletext have their finger on the pulse ;)

Technically, I should lock this thread as it is basically an announcement thread but you seem to be having fun so I won't. If anyone wants to announce that Underworld are playing at my house dressed as the two halves of a pantomime horse then help yourselves.

where did you read that... it wasn't on Teletext down this way ?!?!?



anyway I think the next post or thread that does ask when 'underworld are gonna play my house / arse...' we should flame them to bits for being lazy, as that's what most of these 1 post newbies tend to be (no offence, like)...

all of the info on this kinda thing is fairly easily found...especially as we now have this sticky thread...

not wanting to condone flaming but really lazy people deserve a flaming

Someone on Ebay is selling tickets to a one-night event at a small club called, "Stimpee's". Tickets say:

Pantomine Equine That May-Or-May-Not-Be Underworld: Live Event
Door Opens at 9pm
Free Rides For Kids Under 10 Years Of Age

[Lounger]

i predict UW will play in any part of north america in 2007. im being realistic
in my prediction.

[rabbitweed]

Have got wind of Underworld Live @ a secret party in London 28/05/06. Anyone know where this is & how to obtain tickets? Thanks

[//\/\/]

well, seen as you're the only person to have wind of this, i'd say there's probably a bit of a big 'no' on that one...

[joethelion]

yea - I just heard about this 'secret' gig over on another MB

it also included UNKLEsounds in the list of performers

the head of the UKNLE MB confirmed that they're not involved in the show whatsoever, and that other people on the list are playing in different places that night

...so yea - it's fake

[rabbitweed]

Cheers for the responses. :)

Did some surfing, might be interesting for Dutch Dirties;

Apparently, you can get from Arnhem to Frankfurt and back for 78 euros

Still a lot of money, but the full price is 169,20 euros


Dit actietarief kunt u alleen boeken vanaf het opstapstation van de internationale trein. Een aanvullende binnenlandse reis kunt u kopen bij de kaartautomaat op ieder NS station.

Im guessing a UK/US tour next year with an album. Though US dirts, im not trying to be nasty, but how many gigs would UW do in the States? Im not sure at all how big they are over there compared to in Japan/Uk etc, but if they have no market they wont really tour anywhere [imo] apart from the main places like NYC,LA etc.

[TheBang]

Well, I was looking over the history of U/W tour dates in the USA the other day, and each time they come through (only about 3 times, IIRC), they only played about 5-10 gigs. So yeah, not many.

If they do come, though, I'll probably fly to the Mainland to see them. Hell, I'd probably even fly out to Japan to catch one there. If I'd known about Electraglide last year, I probably would've gone.

[ndrwrld]

thankfully i live in Toronto, where theyve always visited.:o
even tho with the $ exchange, they must take a bit of a beating on the final take.

[big screen satellite]

i'm gonna be in Frankfurt Tomorrow

i was wondering if anyone knew when Underworld will be playing there next???
















































:p;)

[bearbrick1]

Erm, to cut a long story short and not wishing to brag I am in Rio at the moment and want to go and see Underworld in Sao Paulo. I know that they are playing in Rio but I will not be here for that. I am by myself so if anybody is up for it a reply would be great so I could meet up with someone. Afterall its a bit crap a 6 hour bus journey each way so I can see Underworld by myself.

[sanakan]

oh, if it's just for the bus journey: believe me, it's worth it!! :D

[samralh]

Are Underworld playing Coachella this year?? (heard a rumour)

[Sean]

So are Underworld playing the Hollywood Bowl or no?

[stimpee]

its not confirmed yet.

[kicken18]

Does anyone know if they are actually going to play in England this year? With the new album out this year I would of thought they would. They hanv't been at creamfields, for about..what..2-3 years now, so I think they are due for another visit. Hope they are, I want to go creafields this year but I also really want to see underworld, whether that means a road trip though europe of not :D

Uk dates are happening this year as said by Karl on a recent radio broadcast:)

Last UK date was the dire Global Gathering festival with a soundsystem that was worse then my PC speakers.

[kicken18]

Ok thats cool...but I didnt hear the radio cast...so I still dont know them, anyone shed any light?

Thanks

:p

Wouldn't that be the International Space Station then? The Russian Space Station got burnt up a few years ago, that'd be a disaster of a gig, you fly up there, and then find out the venue's been torched :eek:

........Sorry, random posting - I should go to bed and get some sleep!

Are they playing in Australia?

They are in Japan in Nov and i am tempted to go over there, but they need to come back to Oz and hang out again. End the year is perfect to escape the Northern winter ... and they can catch up with John in 3D instead of down the wire :)

[TomTom]

weeeee I got my ticket for the November Cocoon gig today. :D Weekend starts great. I already feared I wouldn't get a ticket anymore because I read that the gig is sold out but 3 days ago I got an info mail from Cocoon saying that extra tickets are now available and was able to purchase 6 for my mates and myself. I look soooooo forward to it. I also managed to get the friday off so this will be a memorable evening. :cool:

God, I hope so. You know, I get the feeling people sometimes write off Australia for shows because the population is so small and it's pretty far from everywhere, so getting the show there is expensive, and there's some doubt as to whether it'll make money. But there is a very important fact to be considered: Australians will pay any amount of money to see an international band.

Example? Coldplay sold out three concerts in Sydney (and other cities, but we'll focus on Sydney), each of which had 12,000 people paying $120 for their ticket (actually the seats at the very back were $87, so, conservative estimate, $100 per person.) Don't bother trying to do the math in your head because I'm going to tell you now - that's 3.6 MILLION DOLLARS. In THREE NIGHTS.

I honestly don't get how you could put on a show that cost more than that without making a new one from scratch. And I'm not counting the equivalent dough from the other capitals.

I honestly don't get how you could put on a show that cost more than that without making a new one from scratch.

here's a hint to get you started: do you know
- how much a 3-day the rent (probably 4, to allow for installation) is for a venue that holds 12'000 people?
- how much security/ambulance/helpers cost are for said venue?
- how much it costs to haul a live show (read: PA, lights, music equipment, and not to forget the crew) across the planet? in your case: flights from england to australia?


think about stuff like that, and you'll have to deduct quite some dollars from your 3.6 mio.

What a bummer...European gigs have been cancelled due to illness which of course also affects the show in Frankfurt I have my tickets for already. This is so sad because I looked forward to it a lot. :( Hope he feels better soon and they announce another date soon.
