8European Summer Tour

 

Many of the forthcoming European tour dates have been settled for a while but the dates in Spain have taken a while to sort out. Though uncertain as to whether final contracts have been signed in all cases, our Wicked Messenger believes the position to be as follows:

 

26 May, Reykjavik / 28 May, Odense / 30 May, Stavanger / 1 June, Helsinki / 3 June, St. Petersburg / 4 June, Tallinn / 5 June, Vilnius / 7 June, Warsaw / 9 June, Ostrava / 10 June, Vienna / 11 June, Salzburg / 13 June, Varazdin / 15 June, Trento / 16 June, Bergamo / 18 June, Chatillon, near Aosta / 19 June, grenoble / 20 June, Toulouse / 22 June, Andorra / 23 June, Zaragoza / 24 June, Pamplona / 27 June, Vigo / 28 June, Gredos / 1 July, Cuenca / 2 July, Alicante / 4 July, Lorca / 5 July, Jaen / 6 July, Arganda del Rey, near Madrid / 8 July, Jerez de la frontera / 10 July, Merida / 11 July, Oeiras, near Lisbon

 

Compared with our previous listings, some of the dates in Spain have changed and and another city has been added. In Spain and possibly elsewhere, there may have been changes to venues.

8THE NEXT “BOOTLEG SERIES” RELEASE

This was included by Ian Woodward in the paper version of the ISIS Newsletter, sent out on Wednesday 9 April, 2008.

 

For some time now, traces of rumour have been accumulating that, between them, suggest Legacy Records will be releasing another in the “Bootleg Series” later this year. In itself, this may not be too surprising but it seems that, like the very first in the “Bootleg Series”, this will be a “(rare and unreleased)” issue. This forthcoming album has not yet appeared on the Sony schedules but a September release is anticipated, subject only to the usual unforeseen delays. This is expected to be a double–CD of mainly officially-unreleased studio material that, chronologically speaking, will overlap with the original “Volumes 1-3” release.

 

 

8Dylan’s Canadian and European Tour 2008

 

From a variety of sources, I have pieced together the likely itinerary and schedule of Dylan’s forthcoming Canadian and European tour. I must stress that, as far as is known, no contracts have been signed for the European leg, so some details could very well change. Frankly, this list is a mixture of report, rumour and reasoned supposition. Nevertheless, I believe it to be as well-founded as could be at this point in time.
