Best ever news. 2 dates in my home city!!!

[minton]

Ok, on-sale from now...go get 'em.

that's interesting with one being a completely instrumentals show. my first thought was that it's another 'no voals' signal but then I guess Gratitude etc will make the cut so why not new songs which have vocals too. Cool all the same though.

edit: but thinking, as for the Beasties on the mic rapping...

A Gala Event – Exclusive Instrumental Show

Gala Event sounds really important.

FUCKING GREAT!!! my second home town - hope i can make it. AND up till now it's one of only two showcases of the new disk!

[cj hood]

i dont' like this idea.......i'm sending a letter to Capitol to complain.....

[Tigo]

sounds awesome to me! i wish i could go.

[b-grrrlie]

Why can't they announce all these dates at the same time? Is there even more gigs coming up?
Now I've already book my holiday week of the summer (I totally wish I didn't take gardening as my new career....) and I would've oh so much more liked to see them in Barcelona than Paris!

true
and I am waiting for upcoming news..(y)
but reallydont know if there're any.

this makes me crazy! :mad:

[DandyFop]

I like xavito and m, so I like this news!

[beastiegirl]

I don't know what to do now!

I've got tickets to see them in Paris-never been there before, not bought plane tickets or anything yet. At the time it was the only non-festival gig.

I LOVE Barcelona and it's 2 gigs in 2 days:D but i'm going to another gig (a bit closer to home) that weekend and i'm broke having just bought my first flat:confused:

Where are they playing? What's the capacity? Only venue i've been to in barca is razzmataz

I was at Sonar night last year... these two main nights (with the regular beasties-concert) are happening at a fair-venue a bit outside the city (next to the IKEA...). so it's the only time a year that there's music there. loads of people but still smaller than a regular outdoor festival (bigger than the big razzmatazz-floor)
for the other concert i'm not too sure yet....i think it's in some kind of theatre but dunno

Get yourself to Barca, a cool town to see the Beastie Boys play... twice :)

I think I am getting swayed by the prospect of 2 gigs in 2 days, gonna contact the landlady of the appartment where I stayed last year to see if we can stay there again.

I remember there was an IKEA on the way to the airport, is this the region where the regular gig is? What sort of capacity will it be? How's the best way of getting there?

Sorry questions, questions!

My spanish club is going to Spain june 7th-18. I doubt I'll be able to go to the concert, but maybe just by sheer luck I'll run into them somewhere in public and meet them. Chances are slim, but a kid can dream.
