SY Summer Shows Being Announced MAY 1

Support of Pearl Jam in Antwerp on August 30th? Although I hate the venue, for its incredible bad sound.

good news.
it's obvious that they'll be touring throughout summmer. i'm wondering if they'll play there and here throughout winter and new year. as jeff wrote thurston and lee are working on their solo stuff + thousands other activities...

I really hope they tour canada!

Woo hoo!

We need two nights in Chicago... at the Metro... just like the Murray st. tour...

excellent. there's a nice 4 day break between philly and bonarroo. come on DC!!!

They will. At least i hope so. But hey, its Canada, there is no reason why they would not play a few shows. Like Toronto. Or I will even travel to Ottawa or Quebec. But they will play Toronto and Vancouver befor any other city in Canada.

God Come To Florida.

Play Another All Ages Show At The Kool Haus!!!! Please!!!!

<--RIGHT HERE

do most people just do one or two shows per tour? I try to travel if I can...

They'd better do there own shows in California...none of this w/Pearl Jam stuff.

I agree. Last time I checked, the show on the 9th at the Forum was sold out and the 10th had shitty seats. I relly want to see SY this summer.

ireland please, and not a crappy festival that i have to pay €4000 for a ticket just to see Sonic Youth play for 45 minutes and then go home in the middle of the day

Yes, i concur...I hope the play a small intimate venue in the olympia or a club..NO STUPID FUCKING ELECTRIC PICNIC SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just a 2 and a half-3 and a half hour gig!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, that'd be amazing. kinda torn though, i bought an electric picnic ticket but the line up's turned out to be shit so far. It'll take someone like sonic youth to stop me from selling it on. but yeah, another olympia gig would rule!

don't get your hopes up, there aren't any plans for europe this summer (said lee after his performance on monday in brussels).

but they might play some euro dates later in the year, although that's not certain yet. i'm not expecting an exensive euro tour though.:(

They are coming to Australia to play Splendour in the Grass in NSWin july I hope they play in Melbourne aswell...........

dont stress - they're coming to melbourne

it's about time. I was really worried that they would not embark on a full tour. But I guess that was just my usual paranoid thinking. I hope they play a show w/ the Flaming Lips near Massachusetts.

Okay nice. I can get to Toronto or Montreal, I just really hope that they come to Ottawa as well. Just anything would be good, I've never seen them live yet

Sonic Youth to Tour Australia
by Andrew Tijs

April 27 2006
Seattle noisemakers Sonic Youth are set to tour Australia in July, right after they release their sixteenth album ‘Rather Ripped’.
They’ve been arbiters of indie noise cool for over two decades now, so it’s a bit of a stretch to claim the ‘Youth’ in their moniker, but posers and indie geeks alike worship these pre-grunge punk tastemakers. On the year of their twenty-fifth anniversary Sonic Youth will release ‘Rather Ripped’ on June 3 and will play three shows in Australia to celebrate.
Over the years, the hugely-influential New York band have made difficult music, combining noise and avante garde beat poetry and outlasting most of the post-punk bands that they emerged alongside in 1981. They were included in the nascent grunge movement during the early-‘90s, which is where they picked up most of their current fanbase.
It’s worth arguing that more people say they listen to Sonic Youth than actually do listen to Sonic Youth, so the proof of the pudding will be at their solo shows in Melbourne at the Palace on July 24 and in Sydney at the Enmore on July 26. Curious punters will also get a chance to see them at Splendour In The Grass.

aj jaj jaj. nice.

I'm getting pretty antsy.......

i really hope so

everyone talking about the US.. but what about Europe? Sonics haven't been there for a long long time! UK at least.. please

i hope they play NYC soon, i need to see them! i hope they play a few nyc shows like maybe one or two in Brooklyn like at Southpaw, Northsix, or Warsaw. And then a few NYC shows like at Webster Hall, Irving Plaza, Roseland. That would be amazing!
