Sorry, a bit late here, but last Thursday there was a blog update about performing in Italy!

There’s also various videos on YouTube if you fancy seeing some video footage!

Turin Brakes head to Bologna Botanique Festival

Stefan — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:35:37 +0000

Turin Brakes will be playing a set as part of the Botanique Festival in Bologna on 23 July 2010. Support is the band Joycut. The gig starts at 21:30, doors open at 20:00. Best of all: it’s FREEEEE!

This Italian festival appearance is the second date in Italy this Summer… Previously, TB were announced for a festival in Turin.

Turin Brakes finally play Turin (sPAZIO211)

Stefan — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:34:28 +0000

Turin Brakes are set to make a festival appearance in Turin (Torino), the city which makes up 50% of their name. This might be weird, but their set at the sPAZIO211 Festival will be their debut appearance in Turin, 11 years after The Door EP. The festival takes place from 19 – 25 July. Turin Brakes are playing a set on the 24th, sharing the stage with The Field, A Place To Bury Strangers and Drink To Me (amongst others, maybe).

Other acts performing at the festival are Coco Rosie, Micah P. Hinson and Kaki King. Headliners have yet to be announced, apparently.

Tickets will be available from here at some point.

Dutch leg of tour announced + first 2010 festival appearance

Stefan — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:20:30 +0000

Some Dutch dates have been posted here the last few days and I guess these may have been confusing to some, including yours truly. However, the Dutch promoter has posted the gigs on his website now (including the now cancelled Rotown, which I’m for now going to presume as the ONLY cancelled one). Here’s the list according to the booking agent. It also features the first Dutch festival appearance since 2003.

11.04.10 Amersfoort / De Kelder
13.04.10 Amsterdam / Paradiso
17.04.10 Den Haag / Paard van Troje
18.04.10 Nijmegen / Doornroosje

FESTIVALS:
04.07.10 Wish Outdoor

The festival WiSH Outdoor is a two-day-event with one day of electronic music and one day of pop / alternative music. The festival is connected to the Dutch Make A Wish Foundation.

Tickets for Nijmegen and The Hague are on sale, but Amersfoort and Amsterdam aren’t yet listed on the venue website. Presuming none of these are cancelled, the full EU tour so far now looks like THIS:

11.04.10 Amersfoort / De Kelder *
12.04.10 Hamburg / Knust
13.04.10 Amsterdam / Paradiso *
15.04.10 Berlin / Magnet

23.04.10 Milan / Tunnel
24.04.10 Rome / Circolo Degli Artisti
25.04.10 Madonna Dell’Albero (Ravenna) / Bronson
