Alright, you've sweated long enough, and the time has finally arrived to release the full details of Bill's 2007 UK Arena Tour. Good things come to those who wait.
Although they can actually come much sooner if you know where to look. For website visitors, tickets will be available on a special Tour page on the site six days before they go on sale to the general public on April 26th. So remember to check back on the Bill Bailey website on the 20th of April, when over 30,000 tickets will be made available, exclusively, to you.
So grab yourself a red pen and turn your calendar to November. The dates in full...
November 2007:
9th - Glasgow (Clyde Auditorium)
10th - Newcastle (Metro Radio Arena)
14th - Sheffield (Arena)
16th - Manchester (Arena)
17th - Nottingham (Arena)
21st - Cardiff (Arena)
23rd - Birmingham (NIA)
24th - Bournemouth (BIC - Windsor Hall)
27th - Brighton (Centre)
29th - Wembley (Arena)

Hurray!! I just cannot wait for this!!
What time are the tickets going on sale? And when you say "members", do you mean whoever subscribes to the newsletter?
Rock on Bill!

Eccelente!
I went to see Part Troll in Milton Keynes (half hour away from me) and despite nearly dehydrating (being at the top of the theatre, in June, with no air-con...you've never seen such a rush to the bar at the interval!) I loved every second of it.
If I do this one it's gonna have to be Wembley or Birmingham! Looking forward to it.

Oh yes, it's about time indeed! - Only Bill, try not to be too stoned on this one ok! You're much better when semi sober! So yes, it's true, Bill's coming to Cardiff on the 21st November, and also Wembley on the 29th, and also many more dates and manymore places! But what a minute, I wanna know how much these 30,000 tickets made available, exclusively, to ME are gonna cost ME. Unless I'm being v.thick, which does happen from time to time; but I cannot find it anywhere, unless I guess 'they' just haven't sorted it out yet.
Despite this 'wee' inconvenience I shall be attending one of the said gigs (Cardiff), with my bitch, and all going well will have a bloody fab time! - That's a warning Bill, not too much weed before hand! - I on the other hand shall be having plenty!! - Bye fa now

A rare piece on your site Bill....a moan! As I'm highland based I can tell you that we've now laid the last of the tarmac and there's modern roads North of Glasgow!! Any chance of doing an Aberdeen or even better, an Inverness gig in the future?
As we haven't got independance yet you'll be ok at the border for a few more years yet :)
All the best and have a great tour.

That's it. Will hop on a plane to Glasgow from Amsterdam and will kidnap at least 3 friends to go as well. Can't wait.
P.S. Bill, Come out to Amsterdam at some point in the future. We have now progressed well past plain tosti's and are now conducting experiments with some promising ham/cheese combinations.

Imagine my elation at the the thought of a new tour, Imagine my disappointment on finding the gig is at Cardiff International Arena. It's got all the atmosphere of an aircraft hanger, but the hanger wins on sound quality. "Would you like more echo on your vocal sir?" Worst place possible to do a gig in Cardiff and I won't spend money on an inferior gig, I'll just have to wait for the DVD.
Sadly yours,

Well - it's great for Bill, and well-deserved too, but I suppose this means that we'll no longer be seeing him at the smaller venues (he was BRILLIANT at the Wycombe Swan). So now it'll just be a little figure on a stage miles away, with video screens. Won't stop me going to Wembley (nothing would) but it'll be tinged with sadness.
