Blink have confirmed some dates for later in the summer over here in Europe, none of which are currently in the UK.

If I was to guess, I'd say they'd do Leeds/Reading, and not do a proper tour. They won't have their album out until Christmas 2010, or even into 2011 where they'll probably do a "stadium," tour.

I mean this is all my opinion, apart from the couple of confirmed dates. For future reference, Mark (the bassist) has his own website;

And ofcourse his twitter,

Hope this helped you

Went to see the Courteeners last night at Rock City. They were great. Had only heard of two of their songs before yesterday and the only reason I went was because a friend's brother couldn't come and she wanted to sell the ticket. They played a pretty long set but I thoroughly enjoyed. The support band, Detroit Social Club, were also really good. Overall well worth ?20 for ticket, bus and a bottle of coke.

Quality band and great live too. Saw them on Saturday at Liverpool uni and last December in Manchester, check out the albums, both class.

Yeah I thought Detroit Social Club were decent as well, never heard of them before but wouldn't be surprised if they made it.

Meh, prefer AvA tbh. Love Marks voice, don't massively like Tom's but music-wise AvA are better.

Lets be honest, Blink over +44 and AvA anyday.

If I get enough money I may go and see Green Day again this year . They are defo one of the top live bands in the world, incredible show and Billie Joe is a wonderful frontman.

Ryan Adams came back from hiatus recently, says he's gonna do a metal album. Been waiting for this for 7 years. His Alternative Rock album "Rock n Roll" was always my favourite. Will piss off most of his fans though as they only like his acoustic rock and alternative country.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I think this thread needs bumping tbh.

Got the new Arcade Fire and Klaxons albums. The Suburbs is a quality album, love every song, my fave is probs Modern Man.

Surfing the Void is a bit hit and miss though. I like a few songs, but I think there are quite a few shite ones in there too though.

Foals- Total life forever Genius imo.

Foals are quality. Their first album is just amazing. Not as much a fan of their new songs; they're too long for my liking.
