And the Midwest sobs deeply and takes out a second mortgage for travel expenses.

Wow... not even Chicago... that's a little disappointing given the large number of fans there.

This can't be complete? They have to still be working things out right. I mean no midwest dates! the press release said they were hitting most major markets...I think not When did salt lake city become a major market? I been there the place is dead!

Wow. No Chicago. That's a huge slap in the face. I kinda don't blame them, though. I've never been able to find true DM fans in Chicago, just people who "kinda like them."

I'm believe there is a gap in the dates for a reason b/w the 3rd and the 10th. Chicago hosts Lollapalooza b/w the 7th-10th of August. Remember this fact. I'm starting to REALLY think they will be at the festival headling one of the night's bills.

I expect more dates. If there isn't any midwest, that's fine I've seen them before anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they'll come back for a second North American leg. They did during the PTA tour, anyway. But OMFG. August 23rd. CANNOT WAIT!!!

I don't know why everytime European or American tour dates are announced,people always whine about missing cities,thinking it will be the only ones for these tour legs whereas the know very well DM will add other shows!One more time,calm down people! There's no show to date for Chicago cause it's just sort of a first impression of the american leg.But as usually,stay tuned,there will be more dates to come! (personal)Jesus!

While I hope that there is a Chicago show, I'll probably head up to the Toronto show since it's the closest to where I live, Columbus, OH.

pssst...Lollapalooza is in the beginning of August and is in Chicago. :) Just my guess

No Detroit? c'mon fellas.

Yes......Dallas is there! .............. Sell-out crowds here in Dallas of all places which is hard to believe. But it keeps 'em coming back.

They have to come to Chicago, they have an pretty large fan base here that I don't think they would want to disappoint.
20 February 09 at 10:13pm

yes dont they sellout Chicago all the time?

I live in Columbus, Ohio as well, so I had been planning on seeing them in Chicago. I am sad that they can't come to Cleveland though. Cleveland and Columbus are both larger cities than Salt Lake City, thats for sure. I suppose I will have to see them in DC. Even if they do Lollopalooza....I would rather see them do one of thier own shows than play a shorter set at a festival.

the only media markets in the US larger than Chicago are New York and Los Angeles. i don't understand why they'd leave it out. especially if they aren't doing ANY shows in the midwest, it makes more sense to do at least 2 in the greater Chicagoland area. it isn't unreasonable to think people will make the drive from places like Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, etc etc.

WTF!!!! No Chicago dates, I been to all their concerts since the VIOLATOR. They say they are hitting all the major markets, Chicago should be on the list instead of Salt Lake City, or Atlanta. And Jennifer who said there are no DM fans in Chicago.. you don't know shit!! Every concert they ever had here has been a sell out.!! Douche!!

Vancouver isn't on there either....HUGE let down for all of us in Western Canada. That means we either go to Seattle or Salt Lake City. So it looks like its SLC for me.

Ummmm . . . . okay. . .. . just waiting to add the Chicago date. Hmmm . . .been to every sold out concert in chicago since The World Amphitheater during Violator. I'll just presume this is incomplete and the gap between August 3rd east coast and August 10th west coast is there for a reason. . .FUCK

\I don’t know why everytime European or American tour dates are announced,people always whine about missing cities\ Im from Argentina i saw the band in `94 for the only and last time, so dont be impacient, you have airplanes and more posibilities to see DM in other cities.

Stop whinging that they aren't coming to your city, I would travel to any city in Australia if they came here. Be thankful they have graced your country with their tour/presence and surely there is a city nearby not too far to travel where they are playing!

Douche? Thanks for the ModeLove, Dave. Figures you are a Chicago Mode fan...that's exactly what I'm talking about. Bands can sell out a show to casual fans. You don't need true devotees to do that. No doubt I'm exaggerating about the lack of true DM fans in Chicago, but I'm only speaking from experience. People try to start DM meetups here and they attract maybe five people and then fizzle out. I'm looking forward to Thursday night at Neo...DM vs. New Order...let's see how many people show up. I'm doing a whirlwind U.S. tour to see them anyway, but I'm hoping the Lolla rumors are correct nevertheless. I mean, it's Chicago...Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters...all the musicians Dave loves (not that this matters; it's all markets and money), but my point is that Chicago is synonymous with music. They'll be here. It's too egregious an omission.

Unbelievable!! CARCASSONNE, south of France, thank you!!

WOW....WTF!!! How about the Mid-West? You guy's used to play Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, Memphis, Indianapolis and more. I have seen every tour to the States except last year and now I guess this year too. I wish I could afford to book you myself to have a Mid-West show for everybody. Good luck on the Coast lines!!!

Quit your bitching about Chicago! All you numb nut ragging on SLC obviously don't have a clue about the huge following DM has here! I have been to every show in SLC since the World Violation Tour and if they weren't sold out, they are very close. I'm glad to see SLC on the list and I really don't give a shit about the rest of you all!
