i've heard from two different people now that The Vines are planning on touring the UK (?) with REM?
Is there ANY truth behind this or is it just a silly rumour trying to get my hopes up?

Wouldn't know anything about that, but R.E.M. and The Vines are both playing at SxSW in Austin, TX, so the two people you heard it from might have mixed it up a bit. R.E.M. are only playing one UK date (T in the Park) this year as a part of their tour, they're playing all over Europe, though. It would be nice if it were true, though. I mean, The Vines are planning on touring more this year so who knows.

ah right that makes more sense. thanks for clearing that up

The mere thought of The Vines and R.E.M touring together makes my weak young heart race as if it's being chased down the road by a bunch of angry Mexicans...

Hopefully the rumor is false because it's not as if I need another reason to envy all of those who live in the UK.

WHAAAAAAAAT??

REM IS COMING IN Y TOWN THIS SUMMER! i hope so!!!!

definatly wont be the vines in the uk supporting....

Ey it's only for 3 stadium dates not all!

Edit: they post on their webiste all the supports for the european tour, Editors, Elbow, Guilemots...

and like everytime, it is filled with the feeling of disappointment that we finally discover that The Vines aren't coming to Europe yet. i'm sad, especially because if they really were to tour with REM, they could have come to the south of France.

yeh I told ya REM is doing a gig in Nice...

ok thanx guys we have no gigs exept the BBBRUNES one, ooooh yeh a blond like them
