Underworld @ Road Fest, Serbia in June *not happening*

[GoatSucker]

Daft Punk is on the lineup as well. Underworld, Daft Punk & Prodigy all for 60 EUR is definitely tempting...

[joethelion]

yea - except for those of us living here in the US

ok - i know this is an Underworld forum and we have a couple of thousand members (and a lot in the US), but seriously how big are UW still in the US????

i don't doubt their popularity personally but seriously could they afford to do a US tour???

festivals is one thing but sustanining a tour in the US is it a serious idea..??

i don't know - i am genuinely asking the question - could they really play in 20 venues for example (to make it worth their while)

i mean they have not played a serious tour here in the UK for a while, where the fan base is probably still strong but probably has wained since the last album...

i just think they might have to see how well the next album is recieved before even considering a US tour...

[joethelion]

well... I guess it all depends on what you'd think of as a 'proper' tour

and I don't think that you would have to do 20 shows just to "make it worth their while"

Now a tour consisting of say... New York, Detroit, Chicago, LA... and maybe a show or two in addition -> now that would absolutely work

I mean come ON... at least give us one show or two! It's crazy that the last time they were here was back for AHDO....

im so jealous of you dirts across the pond.
yet you whine...remember cocoon ?
and Toronto waits since 2002.
and Toronto will always sell out...always.
so...bring on a major US tour.

All I can tell you is that every time I saw them in the late 90's and early 00's (basically the last time they were here) every venue was packed to capacity and beyond.

its not that i don't doubt Underworld's hardcore fans - (whom post here)... or even a largish number in the US who don't post and want UW to tour again, but 99-00's was over seven years ago and things have changed and i know how hard it is for Brit bands to come and play stand alone gigs in the states...

not only that but it costs a heck of a lot of money to tour and now without major label funding - i'm just wondering whether they would ever do the states on their own again....

hey, i even think that their overall support in the UK may have dropped since the last time they played a proper tour here (and released an album) ... music has moved on and so have Underworld

we'll have to wait and see, but i dont seriously expect anything tour wise to be announced until at least the album is wrapped (festivals like this one, Roadfest - do announce line ups well in advance - and i think its likely that UW are on this - especially with some further proof and the other acts listed)

good post, bbs!

but all the same: could some mod please delete/move to a new thread all the whining "when-do-they-come-to-my-place" posts? this thread should be about the "Road Fest, Serbia" festival, and nothing else. thanks.

This Serbia show is news to us! I think therefore this is someone trying it on....

That said, we are looking into Live opportunites in all corners of the globe (almost!) through 2007.

More soon....
