Hey hey hey ! How awesome is that ? Sadly something else I will miss I’m afraid. Not really surprised though, as I remember hearing an early 90s (at the time of “Loveless”) interview where Kevin and Belinda expressed their deep love of the Petrols, also being miffed at how unsuccessful you were considering you deserved so much to be. Class, indeed. Anyway, if there’s a comp to be released (as it happens with most ATP events), and you’re to be featured on it, I humbly suggest you give something new
I know, I know… THOSE fans, always asking for more… lol.
Cheers,
Francois.

Excellent News. just booked some tickets. Jesus but this year is turning out great for gigs- NIN and Janes addiction both rocked, spiritualised and primal scream were awesome in Galway and now the pixies and atp to look forward too. Will be good to see the petrols again as the oxegen gig really didnt do you guys justice.

Chaps, maybe a warmup date in Bristol perhaps!? only just up the coast

I second that Steve – any date in the south west would be great – Exeter maybe – Pheonix is a cracking venue…
