I wouldnt hold out for UK shows. If you do it might mean you miss out altogether.

I'm gonna hold back from the France show for a few weeks and wait for UK dates. Still gonna go to Belgium coz its more of a concert than a festival(?) and just don't see the point in rushing to buy the France ones now imo.

I'm the same..... i think i'm gonna hold out and see if any UK dates are announced. It did say "european tour" on dr funkenberry so hopefully the UK will be added soon as 3 dates dont really make for a european tour.... i hope!

I wouldn't hold my breath for any additional dates ... but I wish something else might happen. Like some one-off gigs in smaller venues, a bit like Koko's in 2007 or La Cigalle last year: 24 hour notice and a small place packed.

This is, however, PURE wishful thinking.

But if you **really** want to see him this year I'd advice you to arrange something for any of the three already announced dates, ...just in case!

Koko was fantastic - and what a rush (literally and metaphorically) trying to get there in time...- over a 100 mile drive one way for us!! A small venue would be brill, its true...

I think every fan around the world including myself wants to see him at small gigs, we all want him on our doorsteps all the time but sometimes its just not feasible. Look at the Americans they are worse off than us on this side of the world there not getting anything! and places like Australia etc they've got it real bad lol

I've decided not to take the risk. I just bought a gold circle ticket.

Besides...I can get there from Cambridge in less than 4 hours door to door. It can take me 2 hours just to get to the 02.

Its a 90 minute drive to the tunnel, 35 minutes in the tunnel and about 40 minutes drive at the other end.

I am going and coming back on the same day.
