Possible European leg of HB tour

Sorry for /perhaps/ a bit hysteric thread name.
I just want to ask: does anyone know if there is a possibility of some or at least one european gig (Germany) next year?
I'm thiking about going to Southampton or Cardiff, but it is a pain in the ass to get there for me.

thank you!!!

I'd be pretty confident there will be European dates. Gigs = money, after all.

I would also be fairly confident, as they have mentioned it and even mentioned quite a firm plan to play the US, which has to be less likely than Europe

Did they mention Canada as well by any chance? (fingers crossed for Vancouver)

I need more details about these "quite firm plans to play the US." I mean, they did say several times back in 2009 they were going to come back in about two years, and that never materialized.

They said in NME recently they were firming up plans for a US leg or words to that effect. So it may never happen, but at least they are still talking about it.

Last summer Nicky promised they'll bring THB tour to Finland, and James mentioned it as well so I'm pretty confident it'll happen. Just waiting for the official announcement, which will hopefully be made soon

From what I've seen, and heard more importantly, there's no kinks to work out in their performance to not be able to repeat night after night for the next 12 years.
I think again the problem is how they band would feel about doing that night after night.
There's no way we'd get last years shows from 1996 onwards. I think they would have split up for good if that was the only option.
They seemed a lot more comfortable playing it. But I've not read any interviews of them saying how they've felt about the shows (After they'd played them, I've read the ones from before the tour, but I think it's possible.
THB live is perfect retirement fund, but I don't want to see them saving it for their retirement and playing a lot of non-UK shows to show this!

It's gotta happen. Maybe in the gap between US and UK?
