Portishead start their tour at this year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties presentation, I’ll Be Your Mirror Saturday October 1 & Sunday October 2 taking place in Asbury Park, N.J. Portishead co-curated these two days of the 3 day festival. According to Adrian Utley, “We’ve always thought that we must come back to tour in the states, something we wanted to do with the release of Third, but our schedule just wouldn’t allow it. Being that we were asked to curate I’ll be your Mirror, this just seemed like a good start to touring the states – it set’s it off in absolutely the right way. We are absolutely delighted to come back.”

Following ATP, Portishead will play New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom for two nights, followed by shows in Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Mexico, two nights at The Shrine in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. The tour ends in Denver on October 27th.

sick!

Dope as fuck! !!

They're playing here soon as well, I need to get tickets ASAP. If you like Portishead, Geoff Barrow recently produced the Anika album which is different but still features that creepy Bristol magic.

Pre-sale is tomorrow

I just bought my ticket... I can't believe I forgot to take advantage of the Pre-sale date! general sale date started today at 10 am, I bought mine around 10:30 and only the most cheap tickets were available!... CRAZY!... in another note those mofos of Ticketmaster charged me like extra 20 bucks for "convenience charges" they always do the same shit... MOFOS!

I just want to update about this, concert was simply awesome... I'm speechless, this confirms to me why I love this group...
BTW I noticed they used the SP-404... if you check this video that I recorded at min 4:22 aprox you are going to see in the big screen next to the drums the 404 pads... maybe along the video it appears more times but I just noticed that! lol
