I suspect it might be more than that even. Between re-issues and album releases (including even in exile), the band have released an album every calendar year. I suspect that the album release date / tour date is to ensure a steady cash flow over financial years (suspect the tour will be in April for this reason to reduce utilise tax fee allowances that they've used during the Suede co-tour).
This raises a question though about the following year, as the re-release material has nearly been used up. Not sure how much nostalgia there is for a PFAYM, RTF and F re-release, we on the forum would buy for access to those vinyl b-sides but what else is there that isn't widely available? I suspect we could see another best-of or perhaps a live compilation but that's wishful thinking on my part. Or perhaps they'll start churning albums out more regularly now that Nick's children have both finished school.
