Summer Excitement! Scandinavian tour? Midwest dates!
Hey folks,
Lots of news here in Wizardland! We’ll be playing a handful of shows in both the US and abroad this summer! It’s not all confirmed yet, but we’re hoping to play our first shows ever in Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and maybe even Iceland. Maybe we’ll throw in an Amsterdam show for good measure!
But to make all this happen, we need your help! Do you live in any of these rad Scandinavian countries? Can you help us either book a show or help us contact venues? Can you help us promote the shows or let us borrow equipment? We’re looking for all kinds of help to make these awesome shows happen! You can be a hero!
Here’s a quick list of cities where we are trying to book shows:
Amsterdam
Reyjavik
Oslo
Gothenburg
Copenhagen
Stockholm
Or if you want to suggest some other places for us to visit, let me know!
We’re also doing some touring in the US in July. If you want to help us book something, get in touch! We are up for ANYTHING! Backyards! BBQs! Basements! Libraries! Bookstores! Pizza parlors! Donut shoppes! WHATEVER! I am dead serious. We are touring old school-style. Anything goes! If you wanna help with a show in early July, here’s some states it might be possible for us to visit: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Kentucky. Seriously. ANYTHING GOES! Email us! LET’S PARTY!!!!
This summer is gonna be rad, are you ready?!
Let’s get some shows booked!
See ya soon!

No CA shows?! Bummer!
April 10th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
PLAY CALIFORNIA! PLAY CALIFORNIA! PLAY CALIFORNIA! Preferably Los Angeles. I am sure that Whimsic Alley would be glad to host you but if not I could find a library that would do it in a heart beat. Come one guys! Play out here! It would be a blast!
April 10th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I agree with joy. We need shows in California, please
April 10th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
No New Jersey shows?! Lame, you guys should make a stop
April 11th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Nordics should be ‘cool’… sorry we won’t see you again at the Palo Alto, CA library. Maybe next tour.
April 12th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I’m so glad you guys are touring again! Now all we need is the new album!
April 12th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Hi!
I’m a Norwegian living in Copenhagen, and I might be able to help out, depending on dates… You have any of those yet?
Can’t wait to have you guys in Scandinavia, the home of Norwegian Rigebacks and Swedish Shortsnouts, not to mention the exciting opertunitites for seeing the Crumple-Horned Snorkack…
April 12th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
You should really come to Minneapolis. I know you came a few years ago, but I didn’t get to come to that show, so come this summer please. Thanks.
April 12th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
You guys should come to Kalamazoo MI, it would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
This is beyond awesome. I live in Sweden and hardly thought I’d ever get to see a HatP show. I’m so exited!!
April 14th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Well, if you haven’t already contacted anyone in Sweden, I know there will be a HP convention-camp thing just outside of Stockholm in the end of July. They always have a show there the last day, and I know you’d be very welcome.
Last year there we were quite a crows, people came from all over Sweden, so you would have a rather large audience ^^,
I think the best way to contact them is to e-mail HPKONVENT@HOTMAIL.COM, which is the official convention mail.
April 15th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I agree with Joy. MORE CA SHOWS!!!!!
April 16th, 2010 at 9:46 am
RIGHT ON MAN!!!!BUT COME TO CALIFORNIA!!!PLEASE!!!!
April 16th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Gosh, I’m crossing all kinds of body parts that you’ll be able to throw in that Amsterdam gig. It’s exciting enough that you’ll be touring Europe, but if you guys are coming to Holland I would actually be able to hop on a train and come and see your show. Just like Malin I hardly believed I’d ever get the chance. Sadly, I don’t think I could be of any help regarding organizational matters since I’m not from the Netherlands myself, but I’ll think about other ways of trying to help while I’m crossing fingers, toes and the like.
April 16th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I can’t wait! If you guys ever need a place to crash in the NYC/Long Island area let me know.
April 18th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Oh my God… I live in Denmark (not in Copenhagen though) and I would simply love to see you have a show here!! Even if you don’t get a show in Denmark, but in Nederland or Sweden, I would attend that show! This is beyound awesomeness… WOW!!! I really hope this works out:D
April 18th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
Please dear lord come to Augusta, GA!
April 18th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
my dad just e-mailed these guys about a show in new jersey! we might have a place for them to put on the show
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO NJ!!!
April 19th, 2010 at 2:22 am
You need to come to Michigan and play Wrock the Block!
April 19th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
If you guys think you have a chance of making it to Indiana we have an empty (finished) basement (heck, it even has its own bathroom) in Bloomington with your name on it. XD
)
But seriously, if you need anything in B-town I’m there. (We still have the moon bounce.
April 19th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
It would be wonderful if you guys came back to Connecticut…I missed your show at The Space last year, and it was sad. A New Haven or Hartford show might bode well…
April 20th, 2010 at 1:25 am
Please come back to Portland, OR! We miss you so much! I saw every show you played there since 2005, and last summer was just not the same without you guys! I’m SO excited to hear you’re touring again! Now, if you could just expand your US destinations a bit…
Yes?!
<3, Kelly
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:28 pm
I hope you dudes make it to NYC for a show. I will be a great treat to see a HatP show during Bar Exam study time.
April 25th, 2010 at 6:52 am
I live in Sweden and I have already heard about your show from four different people who doesn’t know eachother. The whole wrock-Sweden ÄR SJUKT PEPP!
Can’t wait to see you guys, I really hope it works out with everything! Much love.
April 26th, 2010 at 8:42 am
well you guys have to play in MA this summer! middle east? those shows are the best
April 26th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I live in Norway and could posibly help promotion the show.I don’t think I could do much else though, I live pretty far from Oslo and I am far to young to book shows.
April 26th, 2010 at 11:16 am
[...] På sin nettside har Harry and the Potters annonsert at de skal ha en skandinavia-turné i sommer! [...]
April 26th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
It would be so great if you came to Oslo! Please post when and where when you know, so I can reserve the date. Wow, I would never have dreamed of you coming to Scandinavia. Simply fantastic! ^o^
April 29th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Brad Ausrotas is right. We need a new original full-length album, no more EPs.
The gap between your albums would double every time:
1 year gap from Harry and the Potters and Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock! (2003-04)
2 year gap from Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock! and Power of Love (2004-06)
4 year gap from Power of Love and new album (2006-10)
think about it. please.
May 2nd, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Chicago! Chicago Chicago!!! I saw you guys when you played last summer at the Oak Park Library! Soo much fun can’t wait to see you again.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:23 am
I live in Denmark and I’ve been wanting to see you guys for years! I will do anything on my power to make this happen even though I live very far away from Copenhagen. This is going to be epic!
May 4th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Hi guys! My friends and I had a party on May 2nd because it was “National Voldemort Defeat Day” and we got to talking, and it would be AWESOME if you came to Kearney, Nebraska! It’s not a little country town like people may think, we have concerts and lots of events here. I have several ideas in mind where you guys could play, but I KNOW it’d be a huge hit! We want you to come SO bad. Please email me back if you want to talk about any of this…I’d appreciate it so much! We’ve been fans of you for FOREVER:)

May 4th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Oh please please PLEASE come to Michigan!!!! My friends and I would LOVE to come!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Please come to Oslo! If you need a place to book I recommend SubScene: http://subscene.no/info.htm
May 4th, 2010 at 10:08 pm

May 6th, 2010 at 9:17 am

May 6th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Seriously, CA shows. I know we have the Remus Lupins, and they are awesome, but we need you guys too! You’re our inspiration for our band!
May 7th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Hey yall! I’ll be in Ohio all summer. Newark to be exact. I’ll be working with a theatre company and as you know, theatre and the love of harry potter go hand in hand. Let me see what I can do?
Peace
May 7th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Tulsa, OK, loves wrock!!! And you are welcome to stay at my house!
May 7th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
You should definitely play in Alabama. I haven’t been to a Wizard Rock show before (because they’ve all been so far away) and it would be awesome if you guys were the first.
May 7th, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Very excited about your July 6-7 shows up in Kansas City and Lawrence. I just sent an email to a really cool venue in Springfield, Missouri called Randy Bacon’s/Gallery Sounds telling them they should try and book you too!
May 9th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
So cool that you’re going to Scandinavia!
But maybe you could please please please please come to Canada? Specifically, Montreal? If you’re ever in New York or Toronto, it’s only a 6 hour drive to Montreal! And I could definitely find a place for you. Matt and Lauren are touring here in June. No one EVER comes here, they’re the first in like two years. Please?
<3 <3
May 13th, 2010 at 12:33 am
comeeeeeeeeeeeee to the uk again
May 13th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Way to come to North Carolina.
I feel the love (;
But, seriously, you’re not even hitting SC or VA or anywhere in driving distance.
It sucks!
I know you guys played North Regional Library down in Raleigh before, but I didn’t get to see you… and now that I’ve built up a fanbase for you guys at my school, a live show would be icing on the cake!
Of course, begging for you guys to come down won’t do much because tons of people do that, but all the same….
I’m sure North Regional would book you again in a heartbeat! I have some good connections there anyways!
And places to stay, etc. we’d have you covered!
May 16th, 2010 at 11:01 am
Woow! So cool! I live in Sweden and I always dreamed about going to the US and watch a Wizard rock concert. I plan to go at LeakyCon2011 but I will love to see you here!!
May 17th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Come back to Arkansas! The Fayetteville Public Library misses you!
May 20th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Iowa, yay!! When are you going to announce tour dates? Because I would travel to see you guys! I was so jealous when my cousin got to see you at a show in Omaha a couple years ago!
May 22nd, 2010 at 11:58 am
You probably have almost all of your tour dates booked by this point, but you should consider making a stop in St. Louis–maybe on your way to Kansas City?
May 24th, 2010 at 4:25 am
Oh my Rowling, Scandinavia?! That would be the most amazing thing ever! I’m swedish, but live quite far from the southern parts of our country (sadly). But I would totally buy plane tickets and such to be able to go to a show.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Too bad you’re playing not coming up to Canada, it would of been rad if you played Toronto.
But I hope your Scandinavian tour is a sucess!
May 31st, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Oh my golly you guys I’m going to be in NYC from 1 July to 7 July and you have no shows then…..*sad face*
May 31st, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Haha, I’m so happy now!:D I would be so glad if you came to Sweden (especially Gothenburg;) ), that would be so amazing!:D
June 1st, 2010 at 7:13 pm
omg u should totally stop by Michigan. Either Grand Rapids or or anywhere near there would be awesome! I’m glad you’re touring again
June 3rd, 2010 at 8:16 pm
How about…. AUSTRALIA?
No wizard rock bands have EVER been here, and it makes me so sad. There’s a huge HP fanbase here, and it would make everyone so excited to have you guys (or any other wrock band) come here! Our country’s about the same size as the US, but I know there’d be people even travelling across the country to go to one show. One day, you’ve gotta come 
June 6th, 2010 at 5:24 am
It would really be great if you could come to germany! Maybe Munich or s.th. like that…
There would come a lot of guys because no wizard rock band ever comes here
And youre just the best !!! xD
Please,please come
June 6th, 2010 at 9:40 am
AMSTERDAM! (even if its not scandinavian!)
YOU GOT TO COME HERE!!
and I know atleast 15 other friends who want to come with me!
and Amsterdam is a beautiful place to visit anyways!
