[Death_by_Disco]

They're going to do five gigs in Australia this November, so any chance they're coming to NZ???

[handsome_devil]

Australian dates:

13/11/10 Brisbane The Hi Fi (www.thehifi.com.au)
15/11/10 Sydney The Metro (www.ticketek.com.au)
18/11/10 Adelaide Governor Hindmarsh (www.venuetix.com.au)
20/11/10 Melbourne The Forum (www.ticketmaster.com.au)

Maybe we should start a petition for them to do at least one or two gigs in Aotearoa, eh??

[handsome_devil]

I think we should!

I'll sign it! So that's, er, 3 then

I have a theory that they're saving NZ for the Rugby World Cup next year, then we'll get a Manics tour of all the venues the Welsh team are playing - Hamilton, Rotorua, New Plymouth, all the hotspots!

I think we could do is this: Start a thread here or a new one to see how many NZ fans we got and at the same time we start this petition.

Any suggestions just spit it out. Also, I'm not a computer-savvy, so someone else might wanna set a petition thread up, and i'll try to contribute in some ways.

Seriously though, their last gig in the UK is on Nov 1, and the first Aus gig isn't until the 13th. They could definitely squeeze Auckland in there if they wanted to.

Hmmm...i think if they gonna tour NZ, it would be after the Aussie dates 'cos it looks like that Nov 1st-13th gap is just enough time for them to bring themselves,their crew and gears to the other side of the globe.

But it would great if they can squeeze in date though (*wishful thinking*) =)

Btw, pls refer to my reply to handsome_devil concerning the petition.

Spam their twitter account till we drive Sean mental and they give in?

I saw Helen Clark at the shops this afternoon - if I was a quicker thinker I would have drawn up a quick 'petition' and got her to be the first signee!

Been forever since I posted and I thought this thread was the perfect place to start up again.

I'l deffo sign a petition if someone sorts it out, I already tweeted the Manics twitter with the suggestion .

I suppose it could be done, there was a similar thing recently when there was a petition to bring Metallica to Christchurch. Slight difference, their facebook group had a 27,000 members, I think there is about five of us so far.

I sharnt worry. The dedicated fanbase and the fact their albums still chart relatively well in New Zealand should see them there just before/after Australia.

[autumngirl]

Australian shows are confirmed on the website!

No mention of New Zealand
