[beast from the east]

OMG, I think I just creamed a little. This is like an early Christmas present, two of the best bands in the world together. T'would be even sweeter if they came to Philly, but I'll be @ the first show in Sayreville, NY on 5/1. YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

 

[ufomagnet]

Told you so
And it might not be the end of it...

 

[angelofdeath9308]

HOLY EFFIN SHIT, i'm so there, nyc.
wow, so dreams do come true after all! :Smokin:

 

[The Poona of Peshwa]

Fuck, Enslaved had a date here in Regina on their headlining tour that was cancelled and now the nearest show on this one is in freakin' Idaho.

 

[Mr Samsara]

And it might not be the end of it...

This says the tickets go on sale July 8th (http://www.bandstores.co.uk/shop/omerch/omerch_ticketing.php). That seems to be after the may concerts. What's up with that?

That's 2008. The above info may not be confirmed yet, but you know how it goes with these announcements...


Oh, and Mike & Gang, it would be awesome if you skipped Worcester this time around. Come up to Lowell, MA or even Manchester, NH. I won't even bother asking about Maine, though...

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

I just came.

 

[sadistik necrofiend]

So I decided I am gonna have to make the Enslave/Opeth show in NY on 5/26. Never been to NYC, but man I am gonna be getting crazy for this trek. I am going to be in town in Maryland from Utah for the MDF fest that week.

Anyone by chance willing to help me with a ride to New York on the way back up north from the MDF 09 fest?
I aint missing Opeth and Enslaved. This is going to be one crazy fucking week.

 

[Lateralus14]

I was bummed because I thought it might be in the fall when I'm off in some small college town, then I was excited when I saw it was in the spring, then more excited when I saw enslaved....then bummed again because there's no Dallas show
