have i got this right??

touring within the UK

2010 - residency at the 02
2011 - possibly manchester, coventry, etc......?

or is the only UK dates for both 2010 and 2011 the 02 residency?

Yes Mr. Troublemaker.

so, is it a certantity or is it just a possibility that they will re-tour in the UK in 2011

because i aint wasting money for the 02 when a year later the tickets will be more 'value for money' at the stadiums

Meh, I'm doing one 02 show this year, I won't miss the £50 but I would be annoyed if it turned out those were the only UK shows on the tour.

It's not official, but pretty much confirmed in interviews

bloody hope so!!!!

Of course they will. Just as they had the decent sized Crush Tour in 2000 and followed it with the One Wild Night tour in 2001. Jon's said Germany & Scotland for summer 2011. So the UK tour will probably Glasgow, Manchester & another English city - though probably not London again! And since Jon wants to be Irish they will 100 % do a Dublin night.

As it stands, the first part of announced shows ends on 30th July. Asia may get a string of dates in August/September. I would guess Australia can expect 4 or 5 outdoor shows in November/December 2010. .... then a break..... then May - July 2011 the whole of Europe (except London).
