No Doubt to be in Canada around June, and possibly heading to Europe?
• The Sounds posted on their myspace saying that they might have to skip some of the Canadian dates with ND due to other festival commitments in Europe, and on their page it says they’ll be playing the Hurricane Festival and Southside Festival on June 19th and 20th, which means No Doubt will most likely be doing their Canadian dates mid-June.
“We have to jump off of a few dates in Canada and a few USA cities, as we already have festival and touring commitments back in Europe, but we will be doing most of the tour.”
• According to this article, the band will also be doing a few dates in Europe. I’m still skeptical as to whether or not we should believe it, since the band members themselves have only ever mentioned the US and Canada, and possibly Mexico.
No Doubt have confirmed their 2009 tour. The ska punk band, who have reunited with singer Gwen Stefani, will return to the stage in May, and Stefani admits she can’t wait to hit the road and have fun.
She said: “The whole reason for going on this tour was to have fun, try out our favourite songs again and to get inspired to make new music. It feels good to be together again.”
The band - Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont - are playing shows in Canada and the US before heading to Europe later in the year.
Drummer, Young, 39, said: “Now that five years have passed, the excitement level for us is extremely high. I feel like a kid again when rehearsing these songs.”
It has been reported that Paramore will provide support on the tour, with possible appearances from Grammy-nominated Janelle Monae and Canadian reggae act Bedouin Soundclash.
