I've just received an email from the SECC saying that Purple are playing the Clyde Auditorium on the 11th of November.



Is that the "armadillo"? I remember that being an ok venue -- better than the SECC shed next door, anyway.

Re: 2009 tour dates

If it's true and they are only playing four dates, I assume one will be London, so that leaves one more...JUST ANNOUNCE IT OFFICIALLY, PLEASE.

Re: 2009 tour dates

Just ordered my tickets for Birmingham NEC. It's now called the LG Arena and the layout seems very different! We'll be in the standing area, but the seating areas are in a sort of semi-circle rather than the rectangular layout I'm used to. Anyone know anything about this?

Re: 2009 tour dates

For the first time in many years (JLT-era in fact), I can't work up any enthusiasm about this tour. Still undecided as to whether I can be bothered going or not. Anyone know who the support band(s) are likely to be?

Re: 2009 tour dates

This is turning to another never-ending-tour. Why not make another album? Would make sense if Rapture of the Deep was their best selling LP since PS...don't kill the momentum Big Ian emoticon

Re: 2009 tour dates

I've looked at the NEC website and it seems that the 'arena' is being restructured. I think they're basically turning the space around through 90 degrees, so that the stage is at the focus of a wide rectangle rather than a long, thin rectangle. And they're increasing the capacity.
