R.E.M. Sets First North American Tour In Four Years




R.E.M. has confirmed a 26-date fall North American tour, its first such undertaking since 1999. The trek begins Sept. 1 at Seattle's annual Bumbershoot festival and will wrap Oct. 11 in Atlanta, about 70 miles west of the group's Athens, Ga., homebase. The tour will play a mix of arenas and outdoor amphitheaters, including an Oct. 3-4 stand at New Jersey's Liberty State Park in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.

Tickets for some shows begin going on-sale as soon as April 12. A number of support acts are set for various portions of the tour, including Wilco, Ed Harcourt, and Sparklehorse, with others to be announced. Visit the band's official Web site for more information and special pre-sale ticket opportunities.

As previously reported, R.E.M. will kick off a European tour June 27 at the U.K.'s Glastonbury Festival. The group is working on its next Warner Bros. studio album, due early next year. A new anti-war song, "The Last Straw," was posted on the band's Web site earlier this week. The fall tour is expected to coincide with the release of a career retrospective, featuring a handful of brand new songs.

meeee!

I'm gonna go to either the Chicago or Cuyahoga/Cleveland one, depending on when my sis can go

I got my pre-sale Fan Club postcard mounted in a silver frame on my desk Some people threw theirs away and lost their fan club identification # for the pre-sale! I've never seen R.E.M. live despite the fact that I've loved them almost as long as U2. I can't wait

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

april 19th

come to chicago.

yeah



the plan is to get as many hot interference women there to turn Michael Stipe straight

I'm gonna be in New York when that show goes on sale. So, hopefully if this pans out someone will buy my ticket.

 

[HeartlandSoul]

Does anyone have an idea what price range the tickets will be?

POPAngel are you doing the ticket swapping thing?

What's that?


I think that a few of us may be going, but cause I'll be out of town that weekend I'm hoping someone will get my ticket for me, lol.

 

[Elvis Presley]

I bet tix will be in the 60-80 dollar range if I had to guess, i gotta go though and chi-town is closest, is the party for females only or can jimmy and I come along......

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yeah, I figured they'd be up there.



I guess males are invited.

 

[HeartlandSoul]

At Murmurs.com they were talking about buying more tickets than they needed and swapping them with each other.

I'm trying to figure out the price range so I know if my bro. will go with me. He has a price limit

 

[HeartlandSoul]

Re: just don't bring yer mom

I guess males are invited.

Oh that's good, my bro can attend?but alas, he's too cheap to pay $60-80

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

LOL!


Hell, all the males who can attend should. I'm still in a major dry spell.


That's another thread for another time, though.
