SUN TOUR: Speculation + Current News

This will be my last guess about the european tour: i bet that it will be announced this week. You could say that it is a wild guess because it is basically what it is. I don't know what the deal is about this tour, why does it take so long to get any information about it? Anyway i'm a bit tired of trying to figure it out... Que sera, sera...

Well, i lost my bet.
Honestly i'm not very optimistic...and a concert in April in europe looks very unlikely now. Don't know what to think...

I had seen someone comment on one of Chan's tweets that she was coming to South America, but only now found some information.

Cat Power will be in Chile, 5/25/13.

Looking for more details of her South American dates.

And in Uruguay on the 6/25: http://www.elpais.com.uy/130326/ultmo-705282/ultimo-momento/la-musa-indie-regresa-a-montevideo/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I sound like a grumpy old man but still no European tour but there are dates in South America? Seriously?

So looks like maybe 2 sets of South American dates with the Festival dates in the US in between.

Another South American date popping up.

May 2013 at the ''In The Air : Coquel Molotov Festival", Recife, Brazil.

And yet ANOTHER date showing up.

6/20/13, Vienna, VA, Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park

Cat Power will be Billy Idol's special guest.

Okay, some conflicting info here, but I will go with what catpowermusic.com has:

22 MAY 2013 - BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / TBD
25 MAY 2013 - SANTIAGO, CHILE / TEATRO LA CUPULA
27 MAY 2013 - MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY / LA TRASTIENDA

20 JUNE 2013 - VIENNA, VA / WOLF TRAP FILENE CENTER W/ BILLY IDOL

Over here:
http://www.last.fm/event/3551100+Cat+Power

It says:
22 MAY 2013 - BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / Teatro Gran Rex

+ we also have

The above Recife, Brazil show in May as well.

I'm sure she will be in Europe for the summer festivals...that's why there's no announcements yet. It's too early... For example for the Paleo Festival in Nyon or the Montreux Jazz Festival the announcements will be made on april 16th and 18th.

Cat Power at Glastonbury Festival, 6/28-30/13. Thanks for dirtybarry99 for pointing this out.

After a period of silence regarding future appearences, this is a huge week Cat Power fans as more dates are showing up!

OK then, it seems that what is shaping up is something like that:

April: media appearances in europe (Jools Holland+Paris?)
May: South America
June: USA at least until mid june. End of june: europe
July: europe until approximately the 20th.
Aug: USA

So far...

4/9/13 - London, England, "Later... With Jools Holland"

5/XX/13 - Recife, Brazil, "In The Air: Coquel Molotov Festival"
5/22/13 - Buenos Aires, Argentina, Teatro Gran Rex
5/25/13 - Santiago, Chile, El Teatro La Cúpula
5/27/13 - Montevideo, Uruguay, La Trastienda

6/1-2/13 - Houston, TX, Eleanor Tinsley Park,"Free Press Summer Festival"
6/13-16/13 - Manchester, TN, Great Stage Park, "Bonnaroo Festival"
6/20/13 - Vienna, VA, Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park (with Billy Idol)

6/28-30/13 - Glastonbury, England, "Glastonbury Festival"
7/18-21/13 - Suffolk, England, Obelisk Arena, "Latitude 2013"

8/2-4/13 - Chicago, IL, "Lollapalooza 2013"

The only thing that doesn't fit the pattern is April in europe. I don't see the band coming to europe only for a couple of tv shows. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of "secret" gigs here and there.

Seems that Chan and I aren't supposed to meet this year! I'll be in Chicago around July 22th and when I'll be back in Europe she will be in Chicago!

Tu ne seras pas en europe fin juin?

Oui, je serai là. Et je ne perds pas espoir qu'elle passe au Paléo Festival de Nyon le 27 ou le 28.07.

Il devrait donc y avoir quelques possibilités car je ne vois pas le groupe faire l'aller-retour entre l'europe et d'autres parties du monde pendant 1 mois: ça couterait trop cher.
J'espère qu'il y aura quand même quelques dates hors festivals car je n'ai pas envie de payer un ticket plein pot si un seul artiste m'intéresse vraiment parmi le line-up...

Tu as sans doute raison...On verra.

Ce qui me dérange moi, c'est le côté festival. J'ai du mal à envisager d'aller la voir dans le cadre d'un festival en plein-air.

Bon ben, wait and see...

Good news for you Cokelike: Cat Power will play in your state next month: http://www.athensnews.com/ohio/article-39465-cat-power-to-headline-friday-at-nelsonville-music-fest.html

Yes!!!

I am seeing that Michael Hurley has played this festival several times and will be there on all 4 days of the festival! What a unique opportunity!!

More Brazil dates soon.

Translated from Portuguese -

GEO events already announced more news: the producer will bring the singer Cat Power to Brazil for more than one show and a tour of some cities of São Paulo. Tomorrow we'll have more news about the events ... Wait.
