Third Daydream Nation date added in London
 

Sonic Youth will now appear for three nights in London this Summer, as part of the Don't Look Back season of album shows.

The new addition precedes the sold out shows at London's Roundhouse venue on August 31 and September 1. They will now also perform their sixth album, 1988's "Daydream Nation" in it's entirety on August 30 too.

This is the first time Sonic Youth have performed the album through live in 19 years since its release.

The double-album features Sonic Youth classic tracks "Teenage Riot," "Eric's Trip" and "Hey Joni." Being the album that got the band major record label attention from Universal records, "Daydream Nation" still features in 80s albums polls.

A double CD remastered edition of "Daydream Nation" is being planned for release next month. The new version adds bonus tracks and extensive liner notes.

Other Don't Look Back shows include Slint performing "Spiderland" at London's Koko on August 22 and 23, House of Love performing their eponymous debut at the same venue on September 13 and The Cowboy Junkies performing The Trinity Session at the Royal Albert Hall on October 10.

wasn't this announced ages ago? or am I confused?

Are you mad?

Thank you, Porky. I didn't know about that Cowboy Junkies date.

the three gigs were the thursday, friday and saturday then ireland for the sunday... that was announced a while back, i thought they were all sold out by now????

I'm totally confused. The ATP website says that the date for the 30th isn't sold out.

Stargreen have a handful of tickets left: http://www.stargreen.com/find?Q=sonic+youth&SEARCH=Find

we may have a lot of unofficial sources going on. my understanding is that all 3 gigs sold out in matter of days ogf them being announced, the extra third one included. because a mate of mine in ireland tried getting one ticket for the last announced show the day after they were released and couldnt... sold out!!!!!

super blackmarket clash youth!

This went out on Uncut's website today - they have they're finger on the pulse! All dates are sold out according the Roundhouse website.

But Stargreen still has one left for the Thursday show and one for the Saturday.

belgian DDN show please ???

Certainly. Entry will be 60 Euros, and the ticket will be made out of chocolate. Where would you like it?
