then why bother posting in a thread about tour dates about someone youve no interest in ? The title should make it pretty easy to avoid. Roll Eyes

That would be the easy thing to do, but easy is to hard for some people.

Hotpress.com can now confirm that Tom Waits will play two Irish dates this summer, in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.

As forecast in the last issue of Hot Press, Tom Waits is playing July 30 and 31 shows in a specially designed marquee in the Phoenix Park.

Word is that it’ll compliment the title of Waits’ new album – possibly Glitter And Doom – which is due through Anti- during the summer.

The Californian was offered a significantly higher fee to appear outdoors, but it seems that the quality of the experience was paramount.

Hot Press understands that Waits’ decision to go the tent route was inspired by the positive feedback he’s heard from fellow artists who’ve played Cork Live At The Marquee – where, incidentally, Tommy Tiernan is now playing another date on Saturday July 5.

“He’s somebody we’ve wanted to bring over for years, so I’m thrilled,” enthuses Aiken Promotions’ Peter Aiken.

This morning? That show is all ready of Ebay going for 750 GBP (almost 1,000 USD).

Anyway, I was able to get tickets for the Columbus show, via ticketbastard, a while back. Looks like tickets for that show will not be available by other means since they are paperless.

Its a similar anti-touting (scalping) measure here (even though touting isnt illegal). You have to bring photo ID and reply to a ticketmaster e-mail within 7 days asking you to name the person who will be using your other ticket.

Whoever's buying that ticket will have to have their name on the ticket as a guest pretty quick.

The credit card will be scanned at the door to verify purchase.

I hope you get a show. I have never seen Tom live before, so I'll make the three hour drive to Columbus.

Anybody know a good place to eat in Columbus?
