GOT TICKETS!!! YEEAAAHHH!!!

Finally got my ticket. See you in Amsterdam!

Hey Sidelake,
are you up for a meeting up in Amsterdam??
I am flying the same day, but I'll stay until the 15th, with a couple of friends!!!
It's gonna rock!! Cause that's... WHAT WE DO!!

More confirmed dates:
Tue 19 - Denmark - Copenhagen - Vega
Sun 24 - UK - London - O2 Academy - Brixton
Mon 25 - UK - Manchester - Manchester Academy
Wed 27 - Ireland - Dublin - Vicar Street

Nice to see Dublin up, They deserve it!

Too bad the Paradiso gig is on a monday and I can´t have any holiday before July 25th! Great venue, I always enjoyed concerts there.

Still waiting for at least one appearance close to me...

London pre sale tickets are on sale NOW via the link from Brian's website. A couple of days before they go on sale to general public ...

Good to see a Dublin date too...Vicar street is a great venue - much smaller and intimate than Brixton - but after the carry on last time round (when Dublin date was cancelled after they played Brixton) I'll try to get to both!

Anybody know who is in the band? Is Slim Jim just guesting or playing all night?

Should be fun...

You probably all seen it already but Brian is on the new Jeff Beck DVD ..

Easy greasy..

Yep, same with me. Only one date fits, July, 9th in Weert...but 75,-EUR...plus car driving, hotel.
That`s a lot.
But Ringo and Gregg Allman are playing as well...maybe i go there.

I think there'll be 3-4 more dates... with the show at the Helsinki Ice Hall on the 22nd, I bet there's going to be a show either in Sweden or Norway after the day in Copenhagen, and there's also room for a few more dates after the Italian gig in Vigevano (Milan)...

Just got tickets for Brixton, look forward to seeing you there!

phew i managed to get tickets, brixton here we come, gotta admit i chickened out and got seated tickets so that i can watch the great man in action without worrying about trying to push my way to a better vantage point.

Now Mr. Setzer in the mean time keep those precious fingers nice and safe, in tip top condition to melt the walls of the academy

July 7th Zurich, Switzerland. This time's venue is the Hallenstadion, fits 13'000 people. This is quite an upgrade, in the past Brian always played the Zurich' Volkshaus which holds about 1'500 persons. Wish you all the best Brian!

don't wory, the venue will be in configuration for 1 500. we had the same situation in France at Nantes Zénith, the capacity was for
8 000 peoples and for the Stray Cats the Zénith was in configuration for only 2 000 Peoples.

I like the way you think, you must be in your 40s!

Hey what´s this? I am in my 40s and still enjoy pushing myself to the front rows. I can´t stand seated concerts if the music´s good and rocking (although it hurts sometimes).

I´m getting a bit nervous, no german dates yet

I cool with it when I go to shows like Rev Horton and I'm by myself, but man it
gets me when I'm with my wife and we're crammed in some group of sweaty
drunk assholes clamouring to get under the singers nose.

I am in my 40`s, and i did get tickets for the seated balcony at Brixton. I do the same every time, get there early, near front of queue, straight upstairs to a seat in the front row. Excellent view, and no pushing and shoving. Best to go with someone who can save your seat whilst you nip down to the merchandise sale....

EXACTLY!! this is occuring at the palm springs show next month for me and the mrs!

i'm 26 lol, but am taking my mum who is 50, its been a long time coming that we have both gotta see Mr. Setzer. she got to see him when he 1st came to england and was playing little sweaty social clubs, so i dont know who is more excited me or her.

Tavo, i know exactly what you mean, i took my sister and wife to see Green day at wembley stadium and they had the bright idea of getting there early and planting themselves on the front barrier. I spent the whole 3 hour set trying to stop them being crushed against the barrier

Hey Dave UK,
I understand what you mean but I am completely the opposite!!

I love being at the front, queueing for 3h... it's a bore having to wait for 2-3h prior to the show to be at the front, but the excitement is not the same, specially if you like the artist and. I remember seeing the Stray Cats in Manchester back in 2004, my goodness! Lots of pushing and shoving, a real fat bloke behing me, pushing me agains the barrier and I could hardly breath for the first 2 or 3 songs, but it was worth doing that, honestly! Hope the guys in Amsterdam are not that pushy!! heheh

Fingers aren't the only worry, make sure you protect your feet too!!!

was that the right or the left?

The middle foot, Tavo ;-)

Just kidding man! Hope everything is OK on the other end!

Oh it all sounds familiar....

Aged 44,I too booked Brixton for the seated upper circle even though Manchester is less than half the distance (and ball ache) of Brixton.Alas after back surgery I just can't stand for long periods so it's the seats for me.
One slight worry is when booking the tickets the lady advised being early as the seats are limited and there is standing room as well.That will really p*ss me off if I go all that way to get a seat and then don't!

Cheers

Steve

Wowh! Another French date... and no German dates so far... hmmm... quite strange!
