I bought mine yesterday through www.ticketmaster.nl

At this moment tickets are still available. Hurry !!!

Oh I was there too, I found the place awesome! (not to mention Polly's performance)
Surely totally posh but undeniably beautiful, and quite a change from Hay-On-Wye's mud and tents

I know, to be honest, it's a grand house - as concert houses go. Have only been there once, though (5 hours of Carmen... ).
But speaking of mythology (in some sense or other): Not long ago, Harry Potter's mum whatshername-GRowling-something received a new award named after said H.C.Harvey(-something) - maybe Polly'll be next There's been some bewilderment as to who could follow after her (do we have any in mind )
See u then, then, I guess

I just discovered that a second show in Amsterdam is somewhat less likely since the Paradiso is already booked for 1st June. (but not for 30th May, so they could stage another show the day before the first one.)

Pollyphoniac you are right with your 2nd Amsterdam show.Any ideas for city x yet?:-)

it is very significant that they chose the later date (31st May) for the 1st show in Amsterdam, rather than the earlier date (30th May). this reverse chronological order clearly goes to show that if there hadn't been sufficient demand for two gigs in Amsterdam, they would have preferred the single concert there to be held on the later date. and why? obviously because they would have liked a day extra to move the show from city x to Amsterdam. could this mean that city x is closer geographically to Lisbon than it is to Amsterdam? or maybe it's closer to Amsterdam and that's why they were willing to take the risk of having no spare day before playing there? in either case, why haven't the shows in city x been announced yet? perhaps they've been waiting to set the dates (or even the exact location) only after knowing if they need to be in Amsterdam on 30th May.

it seems rather safe to assume that there'll be a gig or two in Spain, either immediately before or after those in Lisbon. let's say they should play in Spain before Portugal, then what country is located geographically between Portugal and Holland? France is the obvious one, but maybe too obvious. and perhaps they wouldn't repeat going to Paris again so soon (having done it in February), but maybe they'll play some other city in France? or in Belgium? but if they should play in Spain after Portugal, they would pass over France (and Belgium) to travel all the way to Holland. doesn't that seem like a rather big jump in a touring schedule?

but travelling distances within Europe are fairly short after all, so maybe it's foolish to think like this. there's no compelling practical need for city x to be geographically in-between Portugal and Holland or on a direct route between Lisbon and Amsterdam. it might as well be Milan or Zurich or Frankfurt.

anyway it is certain they won't play a gig at the geographical halfway point between Lisbon and Amsterdam.

Polly said that the band would be back to play on festivals.

Spain is near Portugal and the Primavera Sound will take place from 26 to 28 of May so, who knows?
