At Jeff Tweedys solo gig he said Wilco would be back to Ireland.

Even if Sonic Youth do play theres no way of predicting beforehand, they play such random dates in Europe that you never can tell.

Would love to see Wilco, to think, they played Whelans years ago.

Mr Marenghi · 23-02-2007 05:23PM

Wilco have just been confirmed for ATP vs the fans in England in May

Mushy · 23-02-2007 05:25PM

Would love to see Sonic youth at some small gig here. Hoping its a convenient date/price IF they come over.

DadaKopf · 23-02-2007 05:28PM

Wilco are playing ATP events, including Primavera festival in Spain. Sonic Youth are playing an ATP 'Don't Look Back' gig in August, so it's possible they could come over here around then, if someone books them.

I'm thinking a possibility for Electric Picnic meself.

Wilco are playing Bonaroo festival in Tenesse in Jun after that barca date so i doubt they'll come back across again. Which is complete ****.

JC 2K3 · 23-02-2007 07:18PM

SY would still be on their Rather Ripped tour though wouldn't they?

Not that I didn't like RR. It was all right. But I'd love if they toured playing their old songs. Preferably off DN, Sister and Evol.

They played plenty of old stuff when I saw them in England last December, though I heard it was not a typical setlist.

If Wilco are playing the ATP thing then the chances of them crossing the pond for show here are quite high, I would reckon, since there's nearly a two week gap between the ATP and Primavera Sound dates.

lordgoat · 01-03-2007 01:49PM

the only gap is May 21 and 22 and Shepards bush have no gigs for those nights up so i'd put money on 3 wilco gigs or at least 2 so i doubt they'll be in Ireland. Aw well...

That sucks, they're doin a fest in USA at the end of June so they'l hardly come back to Europe for a few months after that.

lordgoat · 02-03-2007 01:38AM

Jun 14, Bonaroo in TN, so no they won't be back and yes it sucks...

calex71 · 02-03-2007 06:24PM

saw sonic youth play their own show here in 1997/8? was the time of a thousand leaves, was great to see them in that kind of setting, at the festivals ive seen them do here since ( 2 times its been more 4 or 5 old hits and the rest off the recent album) . the problem i have with sonic youth live is that they have so may albums and so many songs that there is no way in hell you'll see them do a show where they play all your favorites or even a set of 50% of favorites so i always felt that while they kicked ass live, i left the shows feeling a little dissapointed - not by the performance but by the set lists, - but thats my problem not theirs :-)

Eh...they're playing Hurricane Festival in Europe in June 23rd & 24th, and then a festival in Poland on the 29th. So there's still a chance.

News: Sonic Youth have been added to the Primavera lineup. Part of the ATP 'Don't Look Back' gigs, when they'll be playing Daydream Nation from start to finish!!!

Sooo glad I booked tickets to Primavera!!!

pig on the wing · 04-03-2007 12:12PM

big fan of sonic, never heard wilco, but yankee hotel is a legend of an album. either way, two good bands, so i doubt they'll ever play together. especially in the backass of europe.

Both of them are playing Primavera this May, it's in Barcelona, which is in Spain, which is in the backass of europe.

Helix · 02-04-2007 12:56AM

JC 2K3 · 02-04-2007 11:30AM

^Where did you hear Sonic Youth confirmed.

If SY and Iggy Pop/The Stooges are on the same day I might consider a day ticket - although I'll have seen SY in London the Thursday beforehand...

Helix · 02-04-2007 11:52AM

there are no day tickets for ep, full weekend only

lineup is officially announced at 6pm, so no real point in telling you where i heard it. its a dead cert, signed sealed and delivered
