Basher Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I thought they announced most of their summer dates. This would be fantastic news though.I wonder where they would play in Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 According to Jambase there is a WSP show in Cleveland on FRIDAY July 11th.Road trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 no summer dates except the three big fests they are hitting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wonder where they would play in Toronto?Good question. I wonder what kind of draw they would have? It's not like they've tested the waters here before. Things can be touchy around here. If another band was around everyone wants to see, WSP could get nobody (ie. people bolting for bluesfest).

Basher Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah, just realized that all the dates they announced were in the spring. I am pretty sure that the free shows in Buffalo are normally on Thursdays, right?If so, that means:July 10 - Buffalo, free showJuly 11 - ClevelandMakes sense that Toronto would be on the 8th or 9th. FYI, Molson Amphitheatre is booked on the 8th and 9th, not that I think WSP could book a gig by themselves there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) If another band was around everyone wants to see, WSP could get nobody (ie. people bolting for bluesfest).Rush is playing on the 9th at the amphitheatre.

I'm the one who posted it on the Sandbox in response to the Toronto rumour. They're also supposedly playing Montreal according to that list. What's PT?(and here's a good Jimmy Herring interview) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Maybe they'll "open" for Rush in Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if Live Nation booked them at The Docks and had a bunch of smaller jambands play with them as kind of a mini-fest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woo. Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I was also told that there was going to be a Vancouver date, but then the west coast part of the tour was pushed back till the fall. Hopefully we'll get something then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
