usually there's a rule of 8 events (extra football of course) per year. till yesterday all the 8 slots were taken (by far the worst season ever i've to say) but today the city council has given an extra license for a 9th .. so they seem to be not so strict this year so ...
lame voices of 2 dates in Turin if San Siro won't be
Isn't PJ big enough to have their "own" show in places like France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy? it wasn't that long ago (2006) that they were able to do so. It seems that they've just been playing festivals in these countries every since. Am I missing something? I guess it is simply "easier" to latch on to a festival than to promote your own gig(????).
every single band, bigger and smaller than PJ passed through Italy since 2006 .. not PJ (and Soundgarden..) .. so i don't blame on local amministration/promoter at all .. Eddie solo tour in 2012 told me a lot .. everything was settled and then .. last minute step back
similar for the other countries you mention i suppose
ps: 2006 5 dates .. all sold out ... Immagine in Cornice seems to be more and more a farewell gift
ppss: here they're much more popular than in 06
In all honesty, I have NO IDEA what these bands/promoters get up to. That said, with the relatively heavy promotion of Lightning Bolt I would be shocked if they didn't do a relatively thorough tour of Europe - which would include at least one gig Italy, if not two.
