Porcupine Tree tour North America with Opeth 05-15-2003

PT are pleased to announce their next tour of North America will be takie place this Summer as a co-headline with Opeth. There will also be a short run of warm up dates by Porcupine Tree alone. Opeth have been touring North America extensively recently to promote their 2002 album Deliverance, but on their tour with PT for the first time they will be focusing on their non-metal material, in particular the recently issued Damnation album which was produced by Steven Wilson.

I want to see this tour so bad. They better come to Europe too...

 

[opethpainter]

they MUST come to europe....

wtf, opeth are swedish, PT are english, but they always go touring north america first... that's not right... oh, yeah, except for the tour promoters [i would have said for the music industry, but this would be a mistake]

 

[threak]

This is nuts,so basically this is Opeths THIRD tour of the USA in support of the last two albums.

They should have done another tour of europe first,and then another tour of america,and then another tour of europe to finish it off and even it out fairly.

 

[S4R]

I'm speechless. I could see Opeth possibly 5 or 6 times this year!

 

[threak]

I feel betrayed.Its blatantly OUR(europe) turn to have opeth again.

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

yeah... they better get here quickly after that tour!

 

[Reanna]

i hope Pittsburgh gets a tour but from the looks of those dates they arent.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

god, i really hope i don't have to go to Philly or Cleveland again....

 

[ddicosmo]

I can't wait to see them in Boston!

 

[ddicosmo]

Steven Wilson is awesome! I think he's done a lot of good things with Opeth. He's opened up their music more and they have become more mature musician's as a result. I've seen Opeth several times but I haven't seen Porcupine Tree yet. Should be a great show at Berklee

 

[Demonspell]

Opeth and Porcupine Tree performing at Irving together...I can die restfully after seeing that show.

 

[Astrochicken]

Come to Texas. please. anywhere in Texas will do

 

[twilightsrobe]

I can't wait to see them in Boston!

Finally! They're playing somewhere other than the Palladium. I can't wait!

 

[IanDork107]

I'll be at the Irving Plaza show. \m/

 

[deathbearer]

I'll be at the Irving Plaza show as well..I hope they mix the heavy with the mellow songs, or at least play some of Opeth's mellower material from past releases..This should be good..NYC here I come!

 

[SentencedToBurn]

finally!! PT comes to Chicago and doesnt play a 21 and over club. I need to see PT badly.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

i hope Pittsburgh gets a tour but from the looks of those dates they arent.

yes... i agree... i can't believe it's so tough to ever get a show in Pittsburgh! I hate making these 4/5 hour drives to Philly, Cleveland or D.C.!

 

[ddicosmo]

What's wrong with the Palladium? That place rocks!

 

[benny]

Now I know what I will be doing August 3rd and 4th!!

Irving Plaza baby!
