what a huge disappointment for the HOME fans with just one UK date. I have seen the last 5 tours but only playing London so will not be able to see this one. especially with a near sell out on pre release.

I cannot believe they have only announced one date in the UK, but are playing so many dates in Germany. I have seen every tour since the very beginning that this feels like a kick in the teeth to their fans from their homeland.

Sad to hear that they only will play at Arvika festival in Sweden. I had hoped for Stockholm or Gothenburg again.

I have been going to gigs for 36 years and the O2 dome is easily the worst venue for music. The acoustics are awful. DM must do other dates I.E. Manchester,Birmingham etc.I Luv DM but I will not go to O2, sorry lads.

AAARRRGGGHH! We were forced to miss you last time, and now we are GUTTED! Only one date in the UK is like salt on a wound, as we are in Morocco for the Sacred Music Festival, can you PLEASE add more UK dates (NOT in June!!!) and or do a Stockholm gig, the Swedes have ALWAYS done you well, haven't we??? PLEASE!!!! Or how bout making a show at the Essaouira festival...? At the age of 36 you know I've been a faithful devotee, and I have now spent an entire day trying to see if we can bankrupt ourselves by getting to one of the dates that have been listed, and it just isn't possible. PLEASE, I beg of you, don't make these your only European dates...
