UK Dates in 2010?
Isn't it about time this part of the forum stopped saying 2008 Tours, Tourdates & Reviews?
Anyway, has anyone analysed the summer tour calendar?
Switzerland on June 9th
Belfast on June 28th
Nothing inbetween these two dates.
Looks like a good place for a UK tour to fit in.

Re: UK Dates in 2010?
Except that any new album won't be released by then and we'll end up with a tour similar to that in 2003, which seemed to be a few shows just for the sake of them (although Skynyrd were excellent)
There's nothing at the beginning of October, which would then lead into the Poland dates. In fact there are three weeks in which to fit in a decent UK tour

So you'd be expecting them to tour for 11 weeks without a break? I think you'll find there'll be a break between those two dates, as they'll already have done over 6 weeks and if you look back that is about the norm.

I thought that would be a short stretch by their standards! But I'll defer to your greater knowledge of tour history.
Still, that would tend to rule out the October gap for the same reason. So no UK shows this year? Or maybe a festival or special event squeezed in like 2008?
Actually a one-off gig playing half the new album in a small venue, like the Astoria in 2006, would make me happy

Re: UK Dates in 2010?
How many dates are there on there? 40-50?
Wish I could work 50 days a year and get their kind of money!
...and yes, LS were superb in '03. Can't believe it was that long ago!

I keep getting told that Purple will be Special Guests to Aerosmith on the Sunday night of Download (13th June)

Technically and pedantically Belfast is the UK.

Maybe one day, but I suspect they'll have retired before I need to .
