I wonder what will go into these gaps They did 2 French shows then Madrid then another French show in October, so thinking that the Spanish show(s) might be scheduled between the Paris and Nize shows isn't a crazy idea after all.

Nothing immediately jumping out at me. Would love to go to the Emirates because its a gorgeous stadium but London is an expensive trip. Manchester is fairly accessible but ive heard tales of United fans spontaneously combusting when setting foot on Etihad turf. Will hold off and remain hopeful about an Aviva date perhaps.
I'm not going to Barcelona, that stadium sucks balls. Paris and/or London might be an option. Aviva should be a priority if it's announced, although they say "Watch this space for more date announcements for Germany, Norway, Finland and Denmark!" on the same announcement page. Not precisely encouraging.
I think that's probably it for the British and Irish dates if i'm honest. Strange that they chose to play Coventry, a city within easy reach of both Manchester and London, instead of a gig in Scotland.
