Hey, I was just looking at the tour dates for 2012... And I was just wondering if the Mountain Goats are going to be stopping anywhere else in the UK or if it's possible that those dates just haven't been announced yet.
I'm just concerned because if they're only doing London on April 2nd -- which seems odd to me -- then I won't be able to see them! D:

If anyone knows anything or has thoughts about this then please tell me. Thanks!

Welcome, there!
My not-based-in-anything-but-overthinking thoughts include...
- Looking back, this May tour just passed was announced about 10 weeks prior. (2010's w/ ~7 months notice, but that included a festival date.). 09's Manchester show was announced w/ ~10 weeks notice, the London w/ just ~8 weeks notice. These US South dates have only just been announced for January.
- As a one-off show with other parties involved it makes sense it would be organised earlier than a regular gig. Also, the Barbican's kinda a big place to sell out (and tMG don't always sell out here (I think only 1 or 2 dates of the May tour sold out?)), so w/ the Barbican curating this A4/tMG thinguh - the B. might want it to sell a bit first?
If we guess 10 weeks's normal notice, and if we'll be graced with more to come, it wouldn't seem particularly out of sorts to not hear of it 'til the new year?

I too am hoping for some more Uk dates in March/April.

@hostilemass the London show is a unique show featuring me & @A4tweets - I don't think I'll be playing other shows over there at that time
