On a total selfish note, I hope they're not touring with Bon Jovi. Not because of the band, well it would be nicer if it was a band I liked it, but because that band is playing here in the summer, in a open air venue with a +50 000 capacity and the cheapest tickets are 55 euros (plus trips+accommodation etc), and its one of those gigs with golden circles and diamond tickets, so not only I'd have to pay a lot to see them play a 45m/1h support slot, I wouldn't get nowhere near the stage.

Me too, but when would that be if they're doing these gigs? Gah. It seems they at least could swing by Los Angeles and/or San Francisco and New York. Then again, I think PFAYM is still only available as an import here but I could be mistaken. This should definitely count for that "one last shot at mass-communication"!

Their official website says nothing about any other tours coming up, and the only one I know that's confirmed is Isle of Wight, and it isn't listed here, so I don't know if this site is 100% accurate or not. If not, they could be coming here! You're right about it not being worth it is PFAYM is only available here as an import (I got mine from Amazon UK because the availability for music near me sucks, so I knew I wouldn't be able to find it heh).

Though you're also right about their "one last shot at mass communication." That means come here and do some shows!

Where did the rumor come from that they're supporting Bon Jovi?

I saw Bon Jovi at Live Earth and they were pretty good, I'm just sick of all their songs XD

The official website is always way behind though. When the North American tour happened we had the dates before them, from finding them from venue adverts. Just because it's not mentioned officially means nothing

Opening acts from wikipedia...

Bon Jovi held a contest, called SuperBAND Tonight, for north-American bands to compete to get a chance to perform as their opening act for some major concerts.[5] They recently announced the winners of the contest in a press release. A list of the winners, their show dates, and more information about the contest can be found at: Bon Jovi's The Circle Tour Announces Winners of Contest.
Dashboard Confessional will be supporting the February, March and some of the April dates.
Fuel will be supporting the Hersheypark Stadium show on May 19
Kid Rock will be supporting the O2 Arena shows on 22–23 and 25–26 June.[6][7]
One Republic will be supporting the O2 Arena shows on 16 (FRANCE Paris Bercy), 17, and 19–20 June.[7]
Kid Rock will be supporting on July 9, 15, 17, 20, 21, 24, 28, and 30–31.[6]
Train will be special guest on the first night at the Meadowlands Stadium. Gavin DeGraw will be special guest for the second night, and One Republic will be special guest on the third.[8]

Hmmm, 'trust' and 'Wikipedia' don't mix with me

I just hope wiki is right. I'll be a very sad panda if they come here and I cannot see them.

They've supported Bon Jovi once, no need to do it again!
