If you really want to make a big night of it or have to travel far, take the next day off.
Aye I know they have to play some of the dates on weekdays, it just seems weird there's not *any* Saturday dates. They've even got a Friday followed by the Sunday, with nothing on the Saturday (Nicky giving his knees a rest probably!)

I was just hoping there'd be at least one Saturday gig - I'd have had no problem having a jaunt down to Manchester or London or whatever to see them on a Saturday. Mind you, most years I have loads of days left to take off at this time of year, so would actually be glad to have an excuse to use some up!

Mind you, it also seems a bit weird that the gigs are only in two months - bands tend to book tours so far in advance these days that by the time the tickets arrive, you've forgotten what they're for!

Maybe they will add more dates on the days in-between.

I think this is exactly why there are no saturday dates.

I was led to believe that the publicly available links are for "fans only", whereas those who hate the band buy theirs on Friday

Hahah
Sometimes pre-sales should come with a test of knowledge about the band. If you fail no tickets!

I can see the tour being a mix of National Treasures hits and maybe 2 tracks of the new album. I've seen the band many, many times and they rarely ever completely surprise me but they entertain. That's what I want. I think The Everlasting should definately be dropped now.

There are some big gaps but I wouldn't expect much more in the way of dates.

It would be unusual to announce dates that turn out to be only a small proportion of the entire tour.

Since they've got their next, supposedly heavier album out early next year (which might be more suited to being played live) I imagine they'd just wait til then, and do a bigger tour.

I'm booking Newport and Bristol. Am already going to Hyde Park and No. 6 festival, so I think these will have to do for now...trouble is, once I've seen them, I get addicted and, like Oliver, PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE....
