Dead Can Dance 2005 North American Tour info...

This is info I lifted from a DCD discussion board at http://www.lisagerrard.co...s.php?Cat=

I'll try to offer updates as I see/hear/etc. them.


As of 5/28/05, the (final) dates and sales for the North American tour are:

SEPTEMBER:

17 - United States SEATTLE - Paramount Theater - 100% (2500 - SOLD OUT)
18 - United States SEATTLE - Paramount Theater - 66% (1700)
21 - United States OAKLAND - Paramount Theater - 83% (2300)
22 - United States OAKLAND - Paramount Theater - 87% (2500)
25 - United States LOS ANGELES - Hollywood Bowl - 31% (5000)
27 - United States SAN DIEGO - Humphreys - (?)
29 - Mexico MEXICO CITY - Auditorio Nacional - 16% (1500)

OCTOBER:

1 - Canada TORONTO - Massey Hall - 70% (1900)
2 - Canada MONTREAL - St Denis Theater - 88% (2000)
4 - Canada MONTREAL - St Denis Theater - 56% (1200)
5 - United States BOSTON - Orpheum - 25% (700)
8 - United States NEW YORK - Radio City Music Hall - 36% (2200)
10 - United States WASHINGTON DC - Strathmore Symphony Hall - (?)
12 - United States CHICAGO - Auditorium Theater - (?)

* At the Hollywood Bowl DCD is performing with a full string section behind it, so if any of you are travel long distances to the concert, make it this one! - it will be glorious and with 5000 tickets already sold it will be the biggest DCD concerts ever, the prediction is that it will go well over 10.000 and maybe sale out. This is truly the concert to be @.

* The Chicago onsale is scheduled for Sat. June 18 at noon!!!

* As of 6/10/05, the Washington D.C. show is still being negotiated.

* There are rumors of an Oct. 7 Philadelphia show being added, but I can't confirm anything yet.

...Also on the North American tour John Bonnar (keyboards) will joining DCD.


Love & Light![

hmmm On second thought, maybe I'll try for better seats at the Chicago or D.C. shows.

Nikki (bratchild) has been trying to get info about this forever. We'll probably be going together to 1 or 2 of the shows, probably Chicago and/or Toronto. But she missed out on the Toronto ticket sale. Do you know how to get good seats to that show?

Argh! I'd love to go, but that's right about the time I'm packing up to move overseas! MIGHT be able to make Oakland (I live outside the SF Bay area), but it's too far in advance for me to say for sure! omfg That Hollywood Bowl show sounds like it will be fantastic, hope we get a DVD of it. nod

I just sent Brat an orgnote.

I've looked into 2 tix for the Toronto show. At this point, there are spatterings of available seats throughout Massey Hall, but many of them are obstructed view seats or have bad sound, according to Ticketmaster. If you're willing to sit alone, you may have much better luck.

Also, I'm sure there are agents, scalpers, etc. that will hold tix for this show, releasing them only shortly before the event date. Likely, those seats will be decent, but they'll cost you an arm and a leg.

Yeah... I'm seriously thinking about robbing a bank so I can afford the Hollywood show. lol

This is a show not to be missed by anyone who loves their music. I've been watching several sites for Toronto tickets and even the scalper seats are terrible (not to mention very expensive). Toronto is such an amazing city ~ I'd love to see them there. Chicago is great too ~ but a much longer drive for us. Isn't noon an odd time for tickets to go on sale? This is what the post on ticketmaster says ~ just seems like an unusual time. Lammastide ~ have you had a chance to hear Immortal Memory yet? Absolutely stunningly beautiful and I believe I provided the wrong collaborater when I mentioned it to you before ~ it is Patrick Cassidy. Thank you for the updated information!!! I hope you are successful in acquiring great seats (front row right next to TRON and me!!!!)

I agree this isn't a show to be missed. And this is a rare second chance in a lifetime for me. They were here in Cleveland when their final group album was released, and for some stupid reason, I decided not to go. I've regretted it ever since!

INTO THE LABYRINTH was the first music my baby daughter ever heard. We played it during her birth!

...I haven't heard IMMORTAL MEMORY yet. Perhaps I'll orgnote you my address. wink

...And I'd love to see you and TRON at one of the shows!!

I was introduced to them late ~ in 2000 ~ by a friend from California. From the first note, I was mesmerized. I would love to send the Immortal Memory to you. The song closest to the sound that I can think of is maybe Sanvean but with a more joyous flavor ~ what a beautiful choice of music to celebrate the entering of a new life. You gave her a wonderful introduction to this world!
