Bonnaroo Announces Festival Schedule

Bonnaroo has announced the schedule for the upcoming 2010 festival. Tori will be at This Tent from 6:45 to 8:15 PM on the previously advertised date of Friday, June 11th — a good hour-and-a-half set that will close out the afternoon/early evening session at that stage. The Gossip and She & Him will be preceding Ms. Amos so that stage is shaping up to be a good afternoon of music if you elect to head over early.

Thanks Jeff P. for letting us know.

Paris Show Added To The Summer Tour

Just when we thought this summer’s European tour might have been complete, ToriAmos.com has announced yet another performance! This time, it’s in Paris at L’Olympia on Monday, July 19th.

Per ToriAmos.com, tickets are slated to go on sale on Thursday, May 27th via avosbillets.com and, sure enough, there is a listing for the show with an on-sale time of 10:00 AM local time (CEST) that day.

Tickets for many shows at this venue are also sold through the venue’s website, so that would be a good place, along with Fnac Spectacles, to keep an eye on come Thursday morning as well.

Thanks to Jan and Noah for catching this after I dozed off last night…

Join Tori in the Artists Den in July

Live From the Artists Den has announced the line-up for the second season which includes the performance Tori taped at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory in December 2010 2009 (d’oh!). Tori’s episode will be premiered during the week of July 12th, the second episode of the new season.

Live From the Artists Den is carried by many public television stations in the United States and US territories — check their station finder to find the one in your area and check their listings to see if the show is available in your market.

To whet your appetite for the upcoming broadcast, check out this preview of the performance available now through The Artists Den’s website:

Thanks to Stoff for the heads-up!

Tickets On Sale This (Last) Saturday

Just a quick reminder that tickets for the London and Bloemendaal shows go on sale on Saturday, May 15th. For London, there is a pre-sale via Ticketmaster that starts at 9:00 AM BST while the general sale for Bloemendaal starts at 10:00 AM CEST via Ticketmaster and Paylogic — and it looks like the Paylogic sale has already started! Bloemendaal tickets will also be sold through Primera stores throughout The Netherlands (though we don’t know if they have a separate allotment from the online vendors).

It doesn’t appear that there are any special requirements for the London pre-sale. Seems that the only “fan club” elements to it are that the purchase page does not come up in a search on Ticketmaster and is only linked to from ToriAmos.com and, of course, all the Tori Amos fan sites across the web!

Good luck to all!

A UK Show Pops Up on Ticketmaster...Prematurely

Update: ToriAmos.com has confirmed that this show is taking place. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster with a pre-sale via Ticketmaster on Saturday, May 15th at 9:00 AM BST and the general sale starting on Tuesday, May 18th at 9:00 AM BST. And, as you can see from the image on the Ticketmaster page, this show — and presumably the others in Europe — will be solo performances.

Update: And the listing has been removed…it was there though! A few folks contacted the Apollo Victoria and were told that the show is expected to be confirmed next week, though @NicotineLove was told that tickets could go on sale tomorrow. Given the conflicting information, we’re just going to sit tight and keep our eyes on Ticketmaster…

Ticketmaster has added a listing for a show at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, snugly scheduled between the Dublin and Dutch shows on Sunday, July 18th at 7:30 PM.

Tickets are slated to go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, May 18th at 9:00 AM, with a “fan club” presale starting on Saturday, May 15th at 9:00 AM. No, we’re not sure what that means either as there is no fan club…but one assumes that details will be forthcoming shortly.

Thanks to @NicotineLove for the eagle eyes!

Dutch Show Confirmed! Italian Show Announced! Augh!

ToriAmos.com has confirmed the July 21st performance at at Caprera in Bloemendaal, Holland adding that ticket presales are slated to start on Thursday, May 13th with the general sale on Saturday, May 15th though Ticketmaster. However, the Presale listing, selling tickets via Paylogic, appears to be active again, so you may be able to get tickets via that route early. The Paylogic link is also active via Patronaat.

Additionally, ToriAmos.com has announced that Tori will be performing at Villa Arconati in Milan, Italy on July 13th. Tickets for that concert are already on sale through Viva Ticket.

Possible Dutch Show Added

Update: Patronaat has announced this show so it looks like it has been confirmed. Tickets are slated to go on-sale May 15th.

Update: Presale has deactivated the ticket purchasing link as the listing was added prematurely. If the show is confirmed, Presale has indicated to those who did buy tickets that their purchase will still be valid. However, if the show ends up falling through, refunds will be provided. Thanks again to Shireen and also to Jenn.

In the latest episode of Tori Amos concert whack-a-mole, the Dutch ticket seller Presale has added a listing for a concert on Wednesday, July 21st at Caprera, an outdoor theatre in Bloemendaal in the Netherlands. Tom McRae, who opened for Tori during 2005’s Original Sinsuality Tour, is listed as the support act.

While Presale is selling tickets now for a reasonable-looking €40, we do hasten to point out that this show has not been confirmed by either Tori’s official news channels or the venue website so one may wish to sit tight on purchasing tickets until we know for sure that the show is happening…though, of course, the show would fit nicely between the confirmed Dublin and Pori concerts, so it certainly seems possible.

Thanks to Heather, Rachel and Shireen for the tip!

Tori Returns to Montreux!

According to the festival program, Tori will be returning to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, performing at Miles Davis Hall on Friday, July 9th along with Emilie Simon.

Tickets to Festival events are on-sale now. Tickets for this specific show are available through Ticketcorner.

Thanks to Ennio, Rachael and the others who let us know and no thanks to the wall of tiredness that I slammed into last night, else I would have had this news up earlier!

Cactusfestival Tickets On-Sale Today

Just a quick reminder that tickets for the Cactusfestival in Brugge, Belgium where — at least according to the festival website — Tori is playing on Sunday, July 11th, are on sale as of today (and, seemingly, were available a wee bit early as people were able to purchase them Sunday evening). Prices start at €36.00 for single-day admission and go up to €85.00 for the full weekend. Tickets are being sold through Ticketmatic.

Weiner Interview (May 2009)

I never make records alone, I make them with teams of people. But I compose alone. And that’s a very lonely process, although the songs are rich and depend on themselves. But in order to conjure them, I have to go through something in order to translate them. It can be excruciating.

Back in May of last year, Tori spoke to Weiner Magazine during the promotional period ahead of the album release. While the published interview does not appear to be available on their website, the interviewer has kindly posted a transcript of their conversation her blog. while the topics covered were the usual ones from that period — erotic spirituality, places of power, politics, family, composition— the detail and length that these topics are addressed is much greater in this unedited discussion than what filtered down to the published interviews from the time.

Additionally, a new photograph of Tori was also posted by the author. Several other shots from that session can also be found at her website.

Thanks to Hank for the tip!
