Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Was a performance really confirmed or are you just speculating?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

not necessarily a performance, per se.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

So anyone have any info on this Spring Fling Underwear Party in San Francisco on 14/04/2012??? Tix are on sale and apparently Underworld are headlining... I just saw the link on the underworldlive.com site... :confused:

For $20 - I may be able to make the treck - SF is only 8hrs away from LA - but there is no way I'm showing up in my skivvies!!! :eek:

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

whoa, wtf. They must be being paid a mint to travel just for one show, and in the middle of Olympic preparations, to boot.

Looking at the website, I just don't even know what to think:

This is the weirdest thing I've seen since that burlesque show right before Underworld at Subsonic Spookfest. What's up, San Fran?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

and the site has malware on it

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Well that's strange to say the least... time to send a Dirt scout to the show to collect info?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

And now it's no longer listed on underworldlive.com.....

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

back alley entrance.
haha i bet.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Perhaps the underworldlive site was hacked... :rolleyes:

It would certainly make more sense than uw flying all the way out to the states for some back alley show with a $20 entrance fee...

or maybe it was supposed to be linked on 01 April as a joke and was accidentally made live. Sorry for exposing your prank underworldlive site administrator! :D

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

can anyone actually confirm this... crazy.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

But the site has malware, and from looking at a few photos... Erm.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

got an email from HQ... the show is a mistake. No UW show in SF.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Any idea how such a mistake come about?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

I'm interested in getting an explanation as well - I mean, I understand this... performance might have made a claim they couldn't back up, but how does that misinformation make it all the way up to Underworld's official website?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Dear U/W friends, have you heard about Karl@Toolroom?

btw... I love the idea with the live performances because that silly "big crowd staring at one man behind a laptop" experience is really annoying.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

...that's not a tour.

It's not even a gig, much as their involvement is an exciting prospect.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Karl is barely on camera. They talk to eveyone they mentioned except him, also didn't show a clip of his set. I didn't mind the music otherwise, but don't watch this expecting to see/hear what he's singing.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

First date of 2012 :)

edit: uh, wait, delfin quispe is there. prepare for the 1hr mix of that twin towers song D: also, locomia! HAHAHAHA suddenly it has turned into de best-worst gig ever.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Rick astley???

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Samwell has been added. O_O This is a peculiar festival.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

So maybe it's ignorance on my part but where does Underworld fit into a festival for the 'YouTube generation'?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Are you saying they're old?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

I just think its peculiar. I guess they are part of a 'YouTube generation' but it's not something I'd ever have used to describe them.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

It's kind of a stretch, but they have been very big on digital distribution for a very long time, and they kind of helped to trigger the idea of web videos as actual content from an artist. I hope that this festival does something like a live web stream or something, as part of their 'celebration of the youtube generation.' If they were to, it'd make a fair bit more sense why Underworld would want to be a part of it (and maybe just some wishful thinking on my part).

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

On the SonicTalk (see other thread in "Underworld"), Pricey said he's doing live rehearsels now with Karl cos' they got "gigs coming up in September" !

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

oh, you, pricey, bringer of good news. and suddenly my day became brighter :D

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Yup, the "play" button can be tricky to work on the day :D

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

In the first issue of Electronic Magazine, there's an Underworld interview. At the end of the interview, they ask about post-Olympics plans:

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

And you all thought I was kidding.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

The ambient one maybe?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

You think they'll be wheeling out an ambient show at a festival explicitly for the "Youtube Generation"?

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

Just bought my full-weekend pass and Madrid flights. Bring on the strangeness!

So this has them playing a gig on 7th of September in Ibiza, Spain. Not sure if it's a trustworthy source, though, as I can't find ANY other info to back it up.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

http://shop.spaceibiza.com/beat-and-...september.html

This has no mention of them, songkick appears to be mis-informed.

Re: Underworld 2012 Tour Info
 

OK, I think I found out what's up. It looks like that they were initially or tentatively scheduled for Sept. 7 at Space Ibiza, back in early July. Here are a couple posts from back in July:

Given that we're so close to the date, and it doesn't show up on either Space Ibiza or uwlive, I think it's safe to say that it's off, for whatever reason.
