Looks good... I'd hit that, but hopefully there's a room for a US tour by the end of the year

 

[Siren]

There's a rumour for a greek date in the end of September, but it doesn't seem confirmed at all. And there's also a rumour for elections around that date as well, let's hope that filthy politicians don't ruin it for me. They do have a knack for arranging their elections whenever i want to watch a gig (Opeth 2004).

 

[Killermik]

How many more copy of Fiction must i buy for you to stop doing first part and headline???

I am sad

 

[snuffcarl]

Im really happy they are doing their own headling mini-tour in sweden so that i dont have to pay money 1) for a shorter concert 2) to a band i really dont like that much...

Honestly, i cant understand why they are doing a support tour? Is iced earth that famous?`pls enlight me. I heard romours that they were doing one with Dimmu Borgir, now THAT would have been something!

 

[Matse]

I..........want............them..........to........headline.

 

[solefald]

well I just found out the Iced eath thing some minutes ago. It seems they are in munich in cotober. sounds great, but Iced Earth??? Power Metal and Melodeath, hm I dont know if this is a good combination.

 

[Matse]

I agree with everything you said. I will probably see them in Munich as well.

 

[Dark_Silence]

that sucks... when they get in Hamburg, i wont be living in Bremen anymore, but when they are in Köln, i wont probabily be living in Aachen yet...

 

[loveMikael]

i think IE invite dark tranquillity to surpport them.maybe that is the music Business works.
well,go to USA do surpport tour is not a bad idea,the member think it is a good opportunity to let more people know about dt and make a bigger market in US,which means they coud sell more CDs.so whatever ,all we want is headline!!!!!!!!!!

and i also think where is the DVD that Mikael metioned in a earlier interview??

 

[Killermik]

There are RUMORS that DT is going to take the HEADLINER place of Chimaira during the Eastpak tour. Please please please, make it not a rumor anymore!!

 

[marduk1507]

Yes, Ill probably be there (in Brno (CZ)), although I know shit about Iced Earth, and DT played only ONE song from an album older than Haven at Brutal Assault.

 

[loveMikael]

only one song...

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

well I just found out the Iced eath thing some minutes ago. It seems they are in munich in cotober. sounds great, but Iced Earth??? Power Metal and Melodeath, hm I dont know if this is a good combination.

Well IE is not Power, it's Heavy with a bit of Thrash . Dunno why some may think it's Power, it doesn't sound like Manowar at all hehehe .

Anyway, I agree with you, I was like WTF?

I mean, both are great bands, but still they're not very related to each other, are they?

Still, I would love to see them, so no complaints in that sense!

But i dont see any info about the fact DT would headline. And it's still not confirmed by DT.

 

[Caotico]

Confirmed now. Just updated the homepage with the text below.

It's a rotating bill, and the playing order is determined by the relative sales figures of the bands in each country (which is the most fair way of doing things). We'll headline in Italy and Spain as far as I know.

We're excited to announce that we'll embark on the EASTPAK ANTIDOTE tour that will take us through Europe together with the fine metal merchants of Soilwork, Caliban and Sonic Syndicate.

Note that for contractual reasons we won't be appearing on the Scandinavian dates of the tour, so the only way for people in Sweden, Denmark and Norway to see us this autumn is to attend our own headline shows in early September.

To avoid any speculation or gossip, we remind you that this is the first European tour that actually is officially confirmed by us, so the claim by certain news sites that we've "cancelled" other obligations in order to be part of this tour therefore aren't valid.

Well IE is not Power, it's Heavy with a bit of Thrash . Dunno why some may think it's Power, it doesn't sound like Manowar at all hehehe

Iced Earth is american power metal. Of course I would classify them as pointless
shit, but thats just me.

I really wonder how it's even possible that crap like that can headline over DT,
it just goes beyond my comprehension, they can't have more fans, I mean they
totally suck ass. Oh well, maybe one day.

 

[Killermik]

Thanks for the update Niklas!

By the way, it seems they gave you an old venue list because on their website the venues in France are different (Paris in a better place - Marseille has now a place confirmed).

2 Dark Tranquillity shows in 2 days! I am happy!!!

 

[Magrathean]

Yes, Ill probably be there (in Brno (CZ)), although I know shit about Iced Earth, and DT played only ONE song from an album older than Haven at Brutal Assault.

Let me guess: Punish my Heaven? Do you happen to remember the show's setlist?

 

[marduk1507]

Hehe, I knew youd ask. And youre damn right about PMH. I still have to come to my senses, and Ill write a short report on BA in the concerts thread, with DT setlist, if Ill be able to remember the order.
