NEW NOVEMBER DATES | Comments :
19/05/2008 by WOMBATS
The WOMBATS have announced three new headline live dates for November 2008, seeing them play Glasgow Academy on 13 November, London Matter (Fabric's new venue within the o2 Arena) on 15 November and an unusually intimate show at London's Coronet on 16 November. The dates go alongside The WOMBATS' massive headline show at the new Liverpool Echo Arena on 22 November, at which they will become one of the first indie bands to play the 10,000 capacity venue amidst a sea of more established pop acts like Duran Duran and Elton John.
Tickets for the three newly announced dates will go on pre-sale this Wednesday 21st May from http://www.artistticket.com/artist/?s=the+wombats.
The announcement of the these new November dates follows on from a year of characteristically heavy touring for The WOMBATS. The band recently completed a huge sell-out tour of the UK, which included a triumphant show at Brixton Academy on 3 May and will also being playing a unique one-off headline show at London's Royal Albert Hall on 23 May where they will be the first band to take part in the Albert Hall's new initiative, 'The Albert Sessions'.
The hectic festival season ahead will also allow The WOMBATS plenty of opportunity to establish new single 'Kill The Director' as the surefire festival hit of 2008. Released 7 July, it is taken from their Gold-selling debut album 'The WOMBATS Proudly Present.A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation'. The band will co-headline the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading and Leeds and play the Other Stage at Glastonbury (with a
guest performance from Peter Hook) as well as performances at T In The Park, Isle of Wight and Oxegen. Meanwhile in Europe they will play at no fewer than 17 festivals, including Ibiza Rocks and Pukkelpop - not forgetting quick trips to Japan to play Summer Sonic and Australia for
Splendour.

we were looking forward to tonight, (belfast, mandella hall) but we didn't get in cause of the age restrictions, and we saw so many other people get turned away.
we think that many of your fans are of a younger age group, and it would be amazing if you thought of doing an underage tour...
thanks a lot.
