Emo Revival Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm a little annoyed they'd go to england brazil and Australia but not the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshiftrigger Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 my thought exactly, its not like the US is closer to CA than those places either with cities large enough they would sell out no problem. And real shitty about the Vancouver thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomfortunepa Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I might consider a Megabus trip from hell for this...but before that I'm going to wait for the possibility of some US dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah I saw em in Philly a few years ago and the show sold out and the venue was shaking everyone was losing their mind. I'm sure a farewell tour would sell out in Philly since every other farewell show I've been to has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justindinealone Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 ALEXISONFIRE REUNITE FOR A 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY FAREWELL TOUR VINYL BOXSET SPANNING BAND’S CAREER COMING THIS FALL (August 9, 2012) – ALEXISONFIRE has always taken pride in keeping promises to fans. Exactly one year after the members of Alexisonfire announced they were going their separate ways, the band has announced a 10th anniversary Farewell tour. Spanning the month of December 2012, beginning in London UK and ending in Toronto ON, the tour touches down on four continents in 24 days, including their first and only performance in South America. Alexisonfire will be hosting a PRESALE for the tour, with a limited number of VIP ticket bundles available for each show that include a Meet & Greet with the band, and other limited items. The PRESALE will begin August 14, with general public on-sale following on August 17. Fans should keep an eye on the band’s website and social media for more information. The band is working on a discography, vinyl box set which will include 12” LPs of each studio release and out of print 7” EPs including, but not limited to, Math Sheet Demos, Crisis b-sides, Insulation Tapes, BBC Sessions. The box set will also feature a photo booklet and other exclusive items. More information will be released in the coming weeks. Hailing from St. Catharines, Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001, to become one of the most successful indie bands in Canada. They released four hugely successful studio albums, Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). Crisis debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Soundscan chart (Canada), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals debuted at #2, and charted at #9 on the US Billboard Independent Album chart. Watch Out helped earn the band New Group of the Year at the 2004 JUNO Awards. Their first 3 albums achieved Platinum certification in Canada while Old Crows / Young Cardinals has reached Gold certification. Alexisonfire’s success reached beyond Canada’s borders. The band topped charts and graced several notable music magazine covers (Kerrang, Blunt, Big Cheese, Exclaim, Canadian Musician). They performed on the main stage of legendary festivals like Reading and Leeds and took over native Toronto, ON for a 6 night stay boasting over 9000 tickets sold, and sold out tours in Canada, US, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. “I think that there was a lot of doom and gloom surrounding the last Alexisonfire tour. Now that the dust has settled, and everyone has gone down their separate paths, I think it's important to get proper closure on 10 years and share it with the our fans. After this we can leave Alexis in our rear view and remember it fondly, not as something we had to escape.” – George Pettit FAREWELL TOUR DATES: 12.03 – London, UK @ O2 Academy Brixton 12.07 – Sao Paulo, Brazil @ Via Funchal 12.11 – Sydney, AUS @ Hordern Pavilion 12.12 – Melbourne, AUS @ Festival Hall 12.19 – Edmonton, AB @ Shaw Conference Centre 12.20 – Calgary, AB @ Big Four Building 12.22 – Montreal, QC @ Metropolis 12.26 – Toronto, ON @ Sound Academy 12.27 – Toronto, ON @ Sound Academy andydrums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serravalle Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 "As promised in 2010 – we’re back for a Farewell Tour. We know that this tour doesn’t reach all of you, and this list is sure to cause some disappointment, but know that we have done our best to fit what we can into this window of time. December 2012 is the only time that all 5 of us aren’t committed to something in our personal or professional lives. An entire month!!!! We couldn’t be more excited to get on the road and travel and hit the stage one last time – most importantly we wanted to keep our promise to you guys. We’re going to be playing till the venues try to kick us off the stage. We’re talking 20+ songs a night. We said we’d return for some proper farewell shows. And here they are."

blanchardoswald Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Box set is going to be a million dollars, but I'll be buying no matter what. This is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshiftrigger Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 really hoping they can keep it like 150 and under, that would be much nicer than........one million dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The box set sounds great. I hope it not like $300 though. Also really excited for the toronto shows. but i'm surprised they're skipping vancouver and i expected at least a few US shows (NYC, LA, Philly, Miami, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Will buy the boxset no matter what, so fucking stoked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshiftrigger Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The box set sounds great.

boobz09 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Between tickets for these shows, the box set and travel + hotel its gonna be over 1000$ for sure. But its totally worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 No Vancouver? Seriously? I hope you can't buy vinyl at these shows cause then I'll be super super pissed. We are still owed a free show from the chaos that was the free show during the Olympics that had to be cancelled. Kinda choked about that too, but I'm going to try and road trip it to Edmonton/Calgary. If there are show-exclusive releases I'll try and bring some back and drop them off for you on the way back? Totally buying the boxset, whatever the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
