Splendid stuff.

Ban "low hanging fruit" and you'll just get hit by "easy wins". We really need to take this offline and touch base Quark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 All hail The Thingy! I reckon it should be upgraded to The Mighty Thingy....anyway, judging by the history we most likely have to wait until February before anything of significance.

I can't see Foos holding off that long, unless they are going to play another UK date. I'd be surprised if the drip feeding of festivals comes to a stop without either Glastonbury or their own UK stadium show. Arcade Fire is the only previous December announcement though, and if I remember correctly, that was because there was a leaked photo of a white board that had all their dates on? Of course, anything could happen. #ThereIsNoPattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just announced all their dates at once via a picture they posted online. iirc the shows were written using scrabble letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
