More dates have been announced by Nine Inch Nails‘ official tour site and by Mew‘s MySpace. Mew will also support NIN in Germany, France and Luxembourg – at least. So far the confirmed NIN-shows are as follows (right now it looks like the UK shows are the only ones with Jane’s Addiction performing as well): […]

Mew have not confirmed any of these dates (yet?), but Last.fm is fairly certain that the Danes will support Nine Inch Nails with or without Jane’s Addiction at least in The Netherlands and UK the following July. Apparently Mew will play in Amsterdam on July 8th, Manchester on July 14th and London on July 15th.

The first UK show for 2009 has been confirmed. Mew have been announced to Latitude Festival held in Henham Park, in the small town of Southwold (Suffolk, England). This is a relatively new festival (established just three years ago) and Mew will play on July 17th, just before the previously announced American show in Chicago.

Mew will play at this year’s Pukkelpop Festival in Kiewit-Hasselt, Belgium. The festival is held on August 20th-22nd and the line-up looks pretty good so far. This is one of the largest festivals in Belgium – gathering approximately 150 000 attendees per year and having over 200 acts performing. EDIT: CANCELLED!!!

Seems like we get tour dates all the time. Sweden has now been added and therefore the whole Nordic region is pretty much complete. Mew will play at this year’s Storsjöyran Festival held in the town of Östersund in the middle of Sweden. The Danes were supposed to play “Yran” already in 2006, but had

The gig takes place on the same week as the previously announced Beatday-gig in Copenhagen. Mew will take the stage in Oslo on August 12th and it will be their ONLY summer festival in Norway

Chicago (state of Illinois) is called the “Windy City”, but apparently it’s no windier than most American cities. The city of three million inhabitants is one of the most polluted areas in US, though – Mew are surely going to bring some fresh air to Chicago when they take the stage at this year’s Pitchfork

It was not a big surprise that Mew would be booked to Roskilde Festival in Denmark this summer. The biggest rock festival in Nordic region has always been a significant supporter for local bands and Mew have played there many times before – even a decade ago when they were considered to be a small

Last year, the former bass player of Mew, Johan Wohlert told us that he has no idea how the new album of Mew will be written without his effort. Jonas Bjerre talked to Gaffa-magazine and this is something he had to say about it: “It has meant very much for our internal psychology. You’re used

Just a quick update this time around. Jonas Bjerre told us that Spin.com got one of the song titles wrong and wanted to correct it. The song is not called Cartoons and Papier Mâché as previously stated. The correct title is Cartoons and Macramé Wounds. We will be back with the rest of the titles
