Fuck.

I am there.

Biggest entertainment news of the year by far. This is unreal.
Christ.
I literally don't know what to do with myself.
All eyes on Kate.

it's going to be so hard to get tickets.

In times like these I wish I had money to travel to Europe.

Oh...my...god.

My whole body is shaking. This is surreal.

I'm SO there..

Accommodation booked. I'm staying 26th - 30th August and then on the last date, 19th September.

I'd better get some flippin' tickets!!

Actually cannot believe it. I am so there.

F.u.c.k.i.n.g.h.e.l.l.

Will she be performing The Ninth Wave?

That photo is definitely going to get people wondering isn't it!

Getting a ticket is going to stress me out, such a small venue for what is going to be extreme demand. The requirement for ID means there are going to be alot of very disappointed people who can't even pay over the odds if they wanted to. Those tickets would have gone for huge prices.

Wow, never thought I would see this day.

Big Boi will be canceling Outkast shows to be there.

There is a pre-sale arrangement

(I have my access code )

Wait she hasn't toured since 1979? whaaaaa! why? all those classic albums and no tours?

She has a fear of flying, she doesn't like the notion of not having total control dueing a live performance and her lighting director died in an accident in her first tour. That really affected her for some reason.

Wow, so that story Big Boi said is true. That she's pretty much a recluse in a large awesome castle

I think touring is important. But if you can make classic albums, have a lot of money, and not tour. More power too ya. She did write and producer her own stuff. So she probably got some good money out of it.

She has to be like really neurotic not to tour. Her fans would pay extreme amounts to have seen her through out the years. Seriously this concert is gonna be insane.

Truly incredible news. Honestly, I thought that a live Kate comeback was as unlikely as a gig at the lost city of Atlantis by David Bowie, backed by Pete Green and Richey Manic on guitar, Sly Stone on drums and John Deacon on bass, with Lord Lucan as compere!

... and Shergar as groupie.

Does anyone know how much tickets are going to cost? Haven't made up my mind yet if I'd want to cross the North Sea for it.

Nothing on price yet

This has just been posted on her website.

A message from Kate...

Hallo everyone,

I was working all day yesterday and so was totally unaware of the reaction, apart from friends who'd told me it had all gone bonkers....I am completely overwhelmed and genuinely shocked by the incredibly positive response from everyone. Thank you!

I am however rather concerned at some comments that have been passed on to me and I feel I should clarify my position.... The image that was chosen to advertise the shows originates from a conceptual piece called The Ninth Wave that was released in 1985. It is about a woman who is lost at sea but is rescued in the end. Months ago I thought that, as part of the show centres around this musical piece, it would hopefully make a dramatic shot. The timing is really unfortunate. There is absolutely no connection with the current tragedy that is heading the news and I apologise from the bottom of my heart if this has in any way upset or at all offended anyone.

Thank you again to everyone who has responded so warmly to the announcement of the shows.
With best wishes,
Kate
