Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Does anybody know who will be the support act for these gigs?
Guess it won't be SMD, looking at their MySpace... :(

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

I hope you make a special post when they come to the United States.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Well, the US did get a short tour in the autumn before the UK, even. And it looks like the Ultra festival gig in Miami in March is official (saw it on the Uw facebook page..would they lie?!)

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Miami is listed on MySpace too now, so it MUST be true!

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

oh yes there is.
rumored radiohead opener a coinkidink?

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

playing at creamfields ;) august 24th
http://www.creamfields.com/lineup.aspx

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Thank fuck! Ian Brown and Kasabian didn't fit the idea of a dance festival imo. I might be tempted to go down for this now...

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Woohoo!! If this is true then I'll be there. Last year was faaab with groove armada and the chems, and the new site is just so lush. Rolling countryside with a fab view of the rolling hills (hmmm.. too many rollings there:eek: )

First u/w live moment was at creamfields 2002 so should be a gd anniversary

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Are we ever going to get the chance to see the mighty machinistas here in Toronto, or at least in Montreal, again?

I simply can't afford to go to Miami this year, and found notice a bit short pull it off like I did the last time they wowed the Ultra crowd.

Cheers.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

rumor is that UW are opening for Radiohead, who are playing here in Toronto augustish 2008.

i am not a fan of the amalgamation of these 2 bands, especially if this is the only way i am to see Underworld in Toronto any time before 2010( yes, still remembering Oct 19th, 2007 ), because tickets for this will be extremely hard to get, not because of the allure of Underworld, but the insane draw that Radiohead will pull to the ticket sales.
i also cannot afford Ultra.
i thought Underworld liked Toronto...

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Ah, and Korea finally gets another chance to see Underworld after being cancelled on last year:

27-july-08 pentaport rock festival seoul korea

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Perhaps the best possible thing to do would be to integrate Karl, Rick and the rest of the lads in Tomato into Nuit Blanche in September. This would be the absolute perfect fusion of all of the combined talents, and the energy on this night in Toronto would lend itself oh so sweetly to the typical glory that is Underworld live. Also, this would provide a new audience with an open mind on a night where all are looking to experience art in all its forms.

Just a thought.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

hurrah - uw confirmed for electric picnic, ireland !!

http://www.electricpicnic.ie/

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

What about German festivals this summer? UW never come to Germany! :mad:

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

They are also playing at the o2 Wireless Festival at Hyde Park, London on 5th July.

http://www.o2wirelessfestival.co.uk/...ex.aspx?day=05

They are supporting Fat Boy Slim.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Yeah, the official site seems to be kept a little more up to date than this thread.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Haha i like it hoe Escape In The Park is listed as Wales, not the UK;)

Bestival needs adding.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Looks like the rumors of UW supporting Radiohead are true:
Out of the mouth of Karl Hynde, anyway::p
http://www.virtualfestivals.co.uk/latest/features/4541

KH: “Yeah, we’re off to America tomorrow. We’re heading to Atlanta and then the Ultra Festival in Miami and then we are going down to Chile and Argentina, then supporting Radiohead a couple of times in America and then back to Europe.”


Or did we know this already? Couldn't find any real concensus in the other threads, and this isn't yet up on UWLive.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

I thought Grizzly Bear were supporting radiohead on there 2nd USA tour and Liars on the first part

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Dirty0900 is right. Every non-festival tour date on the RH website has openers listed as Grizzly Bear or Liars.

And we can confirm by the festival websites that UW is only playing the first night of All Points West.

Seeing as Karl mentioned it in the article, UW opening for RH must have been an idea that was never realized.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

How can i get the letter Karl wrote for Santiago de Chile city, he read it at the begining of the show ( 3-apr-08 arena santiago santiago chile) ?

Thanks !

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Virgin Festival August 9-10 in Baltimore has pretty good line-up. Underworld headlines dance tent on Saturday night along w/ Steve Lawler, Soulwax, DJ Dan & Donald Glaude. NIN headlines main stage Sun night along w/ Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Dylan & has Rabbit in the Moon, Richie Hawtin in dance tent.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Does anyone know if there are shows in the works for the US besides New York and Baltimore? A weekend trip to either of those cities is not in my budget and there are quite a few open dates where they could potentially be in the US (midwest plz).

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

it's really beautiful in Toronto in August.:p

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Last year was definitely one of the best Creamfields, I took my sister who hadn't been before, not sure which site was used when UW played a few years back but I kept falling down holes in fields on last years occasion, darn those hills!:)

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Right this is really starting to concern me. They have been to Japan twice now in the last year as well as the states so it would seem they are winding there Tour up but still no Australian Dates. Anyone know of any Rumours or ANYTHING at all???? I am EXTREMELY concerned they are not coming...

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

They've hinted that there will be more Underworld-only shows after the summer festivals wrap up. If I were to guess, I would bet on more Japan dates at the end of the year, with that being the best chance for a stop down under also.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

hmmm ... very interesting.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

UW to play in OZ
http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust..._for_New_Years

not confirmed by UW yet tho.
I don't see them on the bill of the Melbourne event...

Brixton - Saturday 1st November
 

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Any rumours as to whether the November Brixton gig might turn into a UK tour...?

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

WHY WHY WHY Does it have to be summerdayze??? I cant stand the wankers that go to that. I'll have to deal with it i guess. Maybe they will do a side show? One can only dream

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Maybe! New date:

24-oct-08 brighton city festival brighton uk

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

more news of UW in OZ

http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust...Summafieldayze

- Rick, Karl and the crew ... Australian festivals are great but there are many of us who would love a side show, or perhaps an invite to another Blue mountains Jam

:)

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

Hi,

Can I also add a heartfelt desperate request for a Melbourne sideshow?

Summerdayze festival has a notorious reputation in Australia, and draws a crowd that's more interested in their fluro clothes and designer drugs than the lineup or act on stage.

There are many hardcore underworld fans that would not want to be caught dead in that place.

Is there any way we can get word of whether there will be a sideshow at all? Future Entertainment arn't giving away any clues, and this event normally sells out very quickly. A lot of people are holding out for the sideshow announcement, but may find themselves missing out completely if none get announced and summerdayze sells out.

Please please please.... sideshow!!!!

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

I really do hope they do an Aus sideshow somewhere. It's brilliant that they're coming back to Aus, but the Summadaze festival really isn't my thing at all so I'm going to give it a miss.

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

I know i have been whinging for a while about wanting Underworld to finally come back to Austrlaia and now they are here i am whinging about them playing at SummerDayze but seriously PLEASE DO A SIDE SHOW and announce it soon. I have bought a ticket to summerdayze but desperatly do not want to go and would love nothing more then to sell the disgustingly overpriced ticket to some buffed, coked up, shirtless, Fluro wearing wog who is actually going to enjoy it rather then me go for only the duration of Underworlds set then get the fuck out of dodge.

I strongly belive that nearly all of Underworlds true fans would not want them playing at such a shithouse festival without announcing a side show. Unfortunatly i also know that when big acts play at shows such as this they are paid large amounts of money and their contract stipulates that they are not allowed to do any other shows except the summerdayze festivals.... I hope this is not the case with Underworld but it would not surprise me. If any dirty's are still going to Summerdaze to see them let me know because all my mates would like to see Underworld but there is no way they will go to a summerdayze to see them.
Cheers
~end rant~

Re: 2008 Tour details
 

I second Damper's rant. Summadayze is not a music festival for music fans. It's a messy gathering of drunken and drugged up teenagers which just happens to include a few music acts. Underworld really should do a sideshow in Melbourne. I'd come over from Perth to see it...but I'm not holding my breath.
