Matt to tour with Jack Mannequin - karen224 2009-02-12 09:53:08
Matt will be the supporting act for Jack's Mannequin on the U.S. leg of the Jack's Mannequin Farther From Earth World Tour this spring beginning on March 30th in San Francisco through the end of the tour on May 24th in Las Vegas. All of the new Spring tour dates have been added to the shows page.
There will be one of two different opening acts on each of the U.S. leg tour dates. Check them out here: Low vs Diamond - March 30th to April 19th Erin McCarley - April 21st to May 24th It appears as though this whole tour may be canceled for unknown reasons. So far shows in Detroit, Vegas, Boston, Dallas, Minnesota, Houston, Seattle and Indianapolis have all been canceled on Ticketmaster and Live Nation websites. Rumors are spreading that the whole tour is to be canceled. We will keep you updated when we have more information. |

+ Matt to tour with Jack Mannequin The tour hasn't been canceled, but a lot of dates have been pushed back and post-poned and here's the reason why: "It is with sincere disappointment that I announce the partial rescheduling of dates for the upcoming Farther From Earth Tour. Postponing shows is something I hate to do, but when Jack?s received a last minute offer for a summer tour it was agreed that the opportunity justified the rearranging. The new plan will have us playing one month of the already scheduled Farther From Earth dates in April and May, followed by a two-month summer run with The Fray. We will then close out the fall with the rescheduled headlining shows we couldn?t play on the 1st leg. When talk of The Fray tour first surfaced I was very interested but had not wanted to reschedule shows due to the fact that we had already begun a ticket presale for the headlining tour. Still, the gravity of what we would be passing up quickly sunk in when I learned the specifics of what was being offered. I?m sure it is no surprise to anyone here that a large part of what I love about playing live music is the opportunity to reach new people with my songs. Aside from this tour providing such an opportunity, The Fray and their camp have been incredibly generous in offering us a 60 minute set. Knowing our fans would get an hour of music compared to most support slots that tend to offer much less gave me solace in the midst of a difficult decision. Ultimately, I feel this is a best of both world?s scenario for both Jack?s and our fans. We will now have two chances to play in the U.S. and Canada before the year ends. One will place us in some of the most beautiful theatres in North America for our first full-scale headlining run since 07. The other will find us in my favorite of all concert environments; summertime, watching the sun set from the stage. In addition to all of this we will have the pleasure of playing alongside talented musicians like Matt Nathanson, The Fray and Erin McCarley. I understand that there are people who will be upset by the postponed shows and to all of you I am very sorry. I can only ask for your understanding. Those of you who have purchased tickets during the presale for shows that are now postponed, will be refunded in the next 7 ? 10 business days and we are working out a couple of fan appreciation ideas, to try and make up for the confusion and any frustration it has caused. Obvious disappointments aside, I must say I am looking forward to the additional time on the road and am hopeful for an inspiring year of shows. Thank you for listening everyone and we hope to see you out there." -Andrew (Jack's Mannequin) |

+ Matt to tour with Jack Mannequin This is the last official word from Matt -- until we know which dates will be cancelled, we'll leave all of the dates up. Hopefully, it will be more clear by early next week. "fri 2-13-09 Important Spring Tour Information - Please Read! Hey everyone, The Jack's Mannequin tour is being reconfigured, and due to circumstances beyond our control, Matt?s previously announced touring plans with Jack's Mannequin have changed. We have yet to determine what Matt's participation will be in upcoming Jack's Mannequin tour dates. Although you may see ticketing links announcing Matt?s participation on upcoming dates with Jack?s Mannequin, if you are buying tickets solely to see Matt Nathanson, we recommend that you do not purchase tickets until final, confirmed tour dates are officially announced on Matt?s websites early next week. Thanks Team Matt " |
