Dinosaur Jr May tour dates

May 8th – 18th 2010

"…you're either blown into submission by their grunge-encrusted riffs, the jet roar volume at which they play, their crucial pivot-on-a-penny pauses, and Mascis's curiously affected slacker whine – or you're a lily livered wuss" Time Out.

"Dinosaur Jr's earbleeding country shines tonight……spotlighting an ear-cleaving guitar solo that's the bastard son of Neil Young's 'Down By The River' and Sabbath's 'Into The Void'….the sheer noise that Dinosaur Jr churn out at will is fierce enough to kill all known germs dead" Mojo

Yes they're back! Dinosaur Jr head to the UK and Europe in May, in support of their last album "Farm" – their ninth studio album proper, and the second since their infamous reunion in '05. Ranking very high on many critics end-of-year round ups, the actual CD pressing caused some confusion upon its release. The first batch of CD's were mastered incorrectly and ended up being 3 decibels LOUDER than planned – even better! On this outing the band are taking out Built To Spill as their very special guests, and the tour dates in full are:

May 2010
Saturday 8th 02 Academy Oxford
Sunday 9th 02 Academy Liverpool
Monday 10th Black Box, Galway, IRE
Tuesday 11th Vicar Street, Dublin, IRE
Wednesday 13th 02 ABC Glasgow
Friday 14th 02 Academy Newcastle
Saturday 15th 02 Academy Leeds
Sunday 16th 02 Academy Birmingham
Monday 17th Cambridge Junction
Tuesday 18th 02 Shepherds Bush Empire, London

Ticket prices are £18 except for London which is £20. Door times are: 6.30 p.m.
