God I hope so.

From what I know they have a reasonable following in NZ. YLAINE was number one on the download charts and got absolutely thrashed on TV/radio. Don't know about in Aus though.

If I go to this, I can't afford to get married.

This is a tough one...

Think of the amazing sushi/sashimi you'd get over there!

It would be an absolute dream to go to Japan and watch the Manics. An impossible dream, but a dream none the less.

Fuck it, I'm saving up. For what I don't know, but with all the names being thrown about; USA, Japan, Australia...I know I'm gonna need the money for something!

Man, even a lovely European tour. I wanna see them in Italy!

I'd only do Oz if it coincided with Australian Open tennis, if it was all paid for me and they agreed to turn down the temperature for that week.

I'm pretty sure they'll come this way - now that I've just bought a ticket to come see them in the UK. Sod's law.

OMG IF THEY COME TO AUSTRALIA I MIGHT JUST ACTUALLY DIE OF HAPPINESS. /melbourneshowmelbourneshowmelbourneshow/

However I doubt they will cos there's not really much of a fanbase (that I know of) here. In fact I only know of about 4 people who actually know of their existence, let alone like them, and they're all from the internet. /facepalm/

It's not fair, they went to the USA after 10 years but it has been longer since they last came here.

EDIT: also the manics are never played on the radio, you can't buy half of their albums unless you special order and the only time I've seen them on telly was 2am on a Monday morning. So I'm going with no Aus dates.
