WHY NO UK TOURS!!

[steverock]

WHY ARE THERE NEVER ANY DECENT TOURS IN THE UK!!!!!

For Example:
Sea Of Faces tour in the US
Tooth and Nail tour in the US

ANY TOUR WITH BANDS I LOVE NEVER COME TO ENGLAND!!

i saw Lifehouse in september and Yfriday with Steve in November i think but they're the nearest things to BIG christian rock tours that i've heard of we have here.

Makes me SOOOOOO annoyed!!!!
might make my own record label in the future to stop this happening

 

[xpunkskaterx]

well most bands dont have that much money to do tours over there (maybe)

 

[Girl_of_God_88]

Third day and Rebecca St James are coming to the UK soon woohoo! They're even coming over here to Northern Ireland which is great!

 

[sunshinejennii]

o yea the revolution tour was good, we need more bands and tours like yfriday and steve around britain (im not that impressed with thebandwithnoname!) while they ARE loadsa great bands around travelling to birmingham and manchester and places isnt easy for me and as far as i know bands i like rarely play nearer leicester o well life goes on!!

Don't feel too bad I want to go to the sea of faces tour but there isn't a concert in Pennsylvania. Closest is in Ohio but I don't think I want to go that far.

 

[blinkgirl]

hey yeh i totally agree with you and we get even less here in ireland!!
the revolution tour was pretty good, last november, yfridays newer stuff is really great and i hadnt heard of steve before and they were brilliant.no comment on thebandwithnoname, thats not really my thing, sorry to any fans....
even tho none of the bands come over here what would we do without toothand nail records or bec recordings? i'd be lost with out their bands!

 

[steverock]

thebandwithnoname aren't THAT bad - one reminds me of chester from Linkin park so it cant be all bad. not my thing either but they do get the crowd goin.

i forgot that American tours are almost like doin a European tour because it's so huge so if its a state too far away thats like travelling over a couple of countries! but still if they came to England i would travel to any city to go see a tour like "tooth and nail" or "sea of faces"!!

btw - speaking of tours - look out for a band called "Dweeb" if they come near any of you. I recently saw them perform when the band i PA for were supporting them and WOW - they put on a show, just them and their instruments!! they just released an EP and are on the same label as "steve" ((NGM) i think? ). goto www.dweebmusic.co.uk to find out more

The Revolution tour was by far the best concert Ive been to. They totally rocked!

I saw thebandwithnoname at spring harvest last week and although normally that type of music i cant stand but they just seemd to be doing something right--twas good.

btw jennii u saw yfri in leics? i live and saw them there at trinty?

England has no christian radio or anything to promote the music. Bottem line, they wouldn't make any money.

 

[Miaka-Chan]

Don't feel too bad, I live in the U.S. and most major tours are 8 hours away, though some are as close as 4.

The way I see it (and this is based only on my own perceptions) is that the entire of Europe (I'm from Belgium and live in Norway) doesn't care enough about their religion and their relationship to God. So they don't care about Christian Music, even though they call themselves christians. A lot of my friends believe that life is more important than what you believe in, or that you should believe in life, and I used to think that way too (I'm still not free of those ideas).
But I think that's the main reason. Kind of sad...

 

[aLx]

Im sure if heard of a British one, Premier? Never listened or even tried to before to be honest and all the satallite 'God' channels are from the US so. I find many people are concerned with trivial ideas like hair cuts, or shoes, or computers, or cars so they have less time to listen to christain music (so ive been todl by some)

 

[jonatan]

I feel that too, and sometimes I catch myself redhanded, fantasizing about a big CD collection or an incredibly expensive guitar, a fast car I could never afford and the likes.
Luckely the pop culture never interested me.
Also something that I feel is that religion comes with age in today's Western world. A lot of young people seemingly don't care but they might wonder but not hold any importance to it. While when growing up starting to believe in something is almost unavoidable.
I'm currently in an exchange student year where I met a lot of interesting people who introduced me to Jesus and I'm kind of scared I won't find them again when I travel back home (to Belgium).

 

[aLx]

Weve gone off-topic, oops!
Yeah, no doubt. Im sure we all do that. Its sometimes so hard to focus on the cross when you get your pay cheque.
There is so much out there for young people that they feel no need for God, when God is there only real need.
If, when you go home, you start looking for christians, and i mean looking, not just going to church every week, but joining a CU orChristian Organisation then there will be people there who can help you. At least I pray there is.

Lets get back on topic:
Yeah there never any UK tours!

 

[jonatan]

hehe thanks... well...
I posted my share and it indeed is sad. If there were more I might even cross the pass and jump into England (where I've never been, can you believe that) and catch a concert.
Luckely I get my concert satisfaction with non-christian (or neutral, currently being discussed in another thread) bands.

England has no christian radio or anything to promote the music. Bottem line, they wouldn't make any money.

We do actually have one, it's the cross rhythms radio station.

We really do need more christian radio sites/stations.

I think that it is a niche market!

(Sorry i had to be smart and show off!)

 

[sunshinejennii]

yes i saw yfriday in leics, i hadnt been to trinity before for a gig i was surprised how well it works for that purpose, id have thourght no1 wouldnt have gone on the balcony but actually offers a place where u can listen 2 t music without being crowded by over enthusiastic teenagers!! as long as you get into t crowd u dont realise its not too packed.

 

[sunshinejennii]

o and while cross-rhythms is very good, living in leicester i can only access it when im online, which isnt 24/7 and sice it'd be quite nice to have the radio on when im else-where in the house it's kinda annoying! still shouldnt complain it does good work and im appreciative!!

 

[aLx]

yeah it did work really well. the screens on the sides were great to, but think it would have been better at de montfort hall but meh, they still rocked!
i got one of the cross-rhytms mags from yfriday but ive never listened to it...hmm ill try it now
