Hmmm...personally I'd rather see DMB w/ one of their previous openers who will be at Bluesfest as well. If Randolph came down (or Gov't Mule or Trey as people are wishing on the Buesfest forum) that would probably be more appealing.

    The ATO theory would also apply to Ben Kweller or Rodrigo y Gabriela...

    I still dream of the day when Dave Gray and DMB tour Down Under together. April 2006 would have been perfect. :angel

    Or Gov't Mule ... (drool)

    Definately!

    My vote is for smaller venues like last time. NO general admission venues (Horden, etc). That'd be a waste of a perfectly good Warehouse membership.

    1) Gomez are on Dave's label - they'll do what he tells 'em dammit (j/k)
    2) We already know they're gonna be at the East/West fests together - why not split the bill on the "rest" of their aussie tour?
    3) Irrespective of split bill/openers, they'll likely need a larger venue than the palais (~2700 capacity). Last tour they sold out 2 nights there in record time. Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see 'em go back there but just can't see it happening. The only 3 other 'usual' venues in Melbourne that are larger are:

    a) Festival hall - capacity of ~8k i think. it is just horrible tho. if they play there I'll genuinely consider not going - which is a big call for me.
    b) Rod Laver - ~ 15,000 I think its too big for DMB. Is particularly horrible when not packed.
    c) Music Bowl - theoretical capacity of up to 30,000 - BUT only ~2000 of those are seated - the rest is lawn. More realistic capacity is 15,000 (as seen at the MPH gig recently). I think on their own they could sell ~6k + Gomez would get them at least another 3k. The venue would hedge their bets - if they do only sell 7-9k everyone on the lawn just gets a bit more space.

    *shrug* that's it. That's all I've got.
    Theres always Vodaphone Arena smaller than Rod Laver and has done shows in the past i.e. Motley Crue

    I also thought of A day on the Green option as well i.e. at Rochford winery in the Yarra Valley for something a little different (I haven't conviced myself fully to this option for full band yet but it'd definately suit a Dave and Tim show or Dve solo)

    But I definately support the Gomez/DMB bill it would be awesome it funny that I have friends who are massive fans of Gomez but have never heard of DMB til I play it but until early last year I'd never gotten into Gomez!!!!!!!!!!

    Nowhere near as bad as it will be for the cricket this summer... I knew Hordern would be the logical choice though.

    Ticketing period opens tomorrow morning at 1am, btw...doing my conversions. First time I'll have done this...does my credit card get charged when the confirmations are posted and not before, because I want to make sure I pay off enough of my plastic to do so. At the moment I'll probably only be able to afford 2 tix to 10/4 for my girlfriend and I and a single for myself for 11/4. Better than nothing though

    From Ticketek's page about the Hordern:

    There are 3 different modes of seating used at the Hordern Pavilion:
    (1) Elevated Reserved Seating and Floor at Front of Stage
    (2) All Reserved Seating
    (3) All General Admission
    Customers are advised to check the event page for more information

    I guess we'll find out soon...hopefully it's all reserved.

    Re: Australian Tour April 07.....

    Hi all.. Just got the email announcing Australian dates !! Woohoo!!

    Saw them at Bluesfest a couple of years back but we won't go to Bluesfest again till they move venues.. Just TOO overcrowded these days.

    Anyhow every show i've been to over the past few years at the Hordern have been General Admission with 'stands' on the side with seating if you want to be seated/elevated.

    My dilemma is whether to join the Warehouse or if i'll be able to just buy tickets through ticketek etc.
    Any Aussie fans members of Warehouse? What are the benefits apart from the buying of tickets? Being that they only tour here every few years and they may be all GA..

    Cannot wait.. Think i have to go Both nights dependant on the price i guess.. nah actually regardless of price.

    Yay Yay Yay! I lurked around here just before their last tour and saw them in Sydney. I'm not sure about their venue this time - Horden Pavillion is definately THE music venue, but I've never been there. Anyone else been to a show at the Horden?
    Stop wondering and start booking flights guys.

    For tickets, keep an eye on ticketek.com and on the venue websites too.

    M.

    I've seen Gomez and Spearhead in past years at the Hordern and it's a great venue.. Not exactly intimate but certainly no Entertainment centre let alone Superdome type size.

    As i said up there ^^ it's always been all General Admission with unreserved seating on stands at the side if you choose which has always been a cool option for a short ass like me ..

    I know

    I just checked the Warehouse site and this is the info:

    General Admission AU$99.90 (Standing or Seated).

    That sucks. Kinda makes a Warehouse membership worthless hey. Unless you're going to hit up Melbourne as well, as I'm pretty sure that Vodafone will be all reserved seats. Maybe they should section off like the centre front area for Warehouse members, kinda like Warehouse preferred Lawn at US Amphitheatre shows. Wishful thinking though I know.
