New live date, and one that rejoices me ! A new festival near Nantes, in France, so I might be able to go.

They will play there the 2nd of July
Ooooo two dates that are close to each other (Portugal and France)
I might be saying... I'll See You There!

Well if you happen to make a long trip across Europe, you should spend a few days in Paris and have a beer with me ;)
Thinking of heading to the 2 French shows, nice weather, nice crowd, nice surroundings, wine, good food, wine....
From the info it looks like one is on 2nd july, the other on 3rd july? thats the days the chems are playing?
What would be the distance between the 2 festivals? I wouldn't mind driving from Cherbourg or Roscoff to the festivals.
There are actually 3 shows in France:
July 1, Festival Beauregard, Hérouville St-Clair, Normandie. Then this festival, Erdre, on the second of July. These two are pretty close to each other compared to the third one on July 9 at Les Deferlantes in Argelès-sur-Mer.

I was looking on google maps, driving from cherbourg to the normandie festival is only a couple of hours, then driving to nantes is only 3.30 hrs so it would easily be done...
That would be a tour.
ive just looked at ferry prices over and they are crazy! €1000! so i would be flying to paris, and getting the train to Normandie and then to Nantes, then back to paris, or go to Nice or Toulous and fly home.

Where do you live? If you fly WestJet, you can fly from Newfoundland (St. John's) to London for ~$200, no joke, starting in May. You can also fly out of Toronto for $250 and Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg for $300. Same price for the flight back, plus fees and such.
Then you can take Megabus or Ryanair to France for a lot cheaper than it would be to fly direct to France, and maybe see a show in London while you're there.

HAHAHAHA you'd think i was coming from outer mongolia for that price, but no, that is the price for a ferry from Ireland!
So what im planning now is fly to paris, and either drive or get the train, train is 5 hrs, drive is less, but the french are pretty crazy drivers! ;)

Flights from Dublin to Paris are between 50 and 150€, it would be a better idea than ferry :P

I had the misguided idea that the ferry and driving your own car was cheaper! lesson learned! I'll drop you a PM and see what plans we can come up with, i presume you are gonna go to both shows?

Yes and no, most festivals have a shit line up, and we can't go to each of them anyway, they're all in a different corner of France :/
the best line up looks to be the one in Biaritz, but the problem is that place is expensive, plus you need to fly to Nice i beleive and in July that is expensive.
I may go to Nantes, as it looks like the best festival out of the other 2, but i still dont know. Might go to manchester, but really not loving another round of festival shows

Yeah, I lookd it up on the map. But you know, I'm simple minded and thought 4xChems in France = awesome. I mean, if you could spend your holidays/money for those 4, it might be feasable to do, wouldn't it?
However, I'm a little bit bummed that they don't seem to play single gigs any time soon and anywhere near my location this year. Festivals might generate some good money and I actually don't really know how the booking process works (I remember Tom saying last year something like "I'd love to go to Australia but they haven't asked us yet" or something along those lines), but I'm fairly sure solo gigs would drag in loads of people as well. At least that's my experience with the gigs I've been to over last 10 years. Sigh, I need another Chems concert and the rush of adrenaline going through every cell of my body just before the show starts.

No, Nice is in the east, Biarritz is in the west. I think there's an airport in Biarritz.
I would go to all 4 or maybe 2 or 3 if I had a car, but I don't :( I'll probably go in Nantes and borrow my mother's car.
So who's actually planning on going ? I'm trying to find somewhere to crash and sleep after the festival
