James, if you read the previous page on this topic you will see that the SECC REM date, has been confirmed for Tuesday 22nd Febuary :wink:

The video for leaving New York btw, if fantastic!!! One of my favourites for REM :D

Well isn't it obvious that i didn't then KEVIN?

still dunno why they're playing the secc then coming back to balado. they might as well just do balado twice.

none of which are ladylike at all, though ;)

Hope you all have a fab time if you get tickets - I saw them live in 95 on the Monster tour supported by Terrorvision - OUTSTANDING!

Excellent show all round and confirmed to me what a loon Michael Stipe is!

ENJOY!

I think we're goign to try n get tickets for balloch and just camp up there on the shores.

wouldnt go n see them anywhere else to be honest.

Rotterdam... not Amsterdam...

I completely missed this one, just saw there were tickets on sale a few minutes ago. But it seems to be too late - all standing / arena tickets are sold out already & I don't feel like buying seating tickets. I enjoyed the concert last year, so I wouldn't mind another one, and this one is practically in my backyard... It's sad I missed the announcements completely :(.

Maybe some people will cancel their reservation & they push some tickets back for sale... Have to check it out the upcoming days!

Follow up to ATS already a third complete!

Although "Around The Sun" hasn't been released yet, it seems that the next R.E.M. record is not too far away. R.E.M. have currently penned in some recording sessions to take place during early/mid 2005. A third of the 14th studio record is already complete with 4 songs scheduled to be included and another 6 which would be considered a possibility. Obviously no date has been set but with a combination of the rockers from the "Around The Sun" sessions and new recording sessions in 2005, we could see the 14th record as soon as March 2006.

During today's press conference, the band declared that the follow up to "Around The Sun" will be a rock record. Mike Mills said that after three beautiful but sad albums they want to return to the studio to do some fast tracks.

the album is awsome :)

just got it...listening to it now....

:multi:

Got the new album, and after first listen... horribly boring stuff!!! Very disappointed. 'Reveal' was much better, and that was also quite a crappy album IMO. Oh well, waiting for the next one.
