    P.S. You might help the Greek with the spelling of your last name…

    u should totally do it ’cause we ‘ll be watching and we’ve been waiting

  6. meg says:

    Hopefully you’ll be able to fit some other Canadian gigs in sometime this summer – we’d love to see you out West :)

  7. Debbie (deebee) says:

    aah the things you have to do to promote an album :-P Well done on the upcoming tour although it looks like the Americans get all the fun again with this latest tour. Europe’s been waiting patiently for a loooong time now Fran – don’t forget us, will you?

  8. sammy says:

    WOAH!! They didn’t tell us THAT on the Keane website! I wish you were supporting Keane at their Cannock Chase gig, a naked man in the woods is pretty normal there. Watch out for your bits and bobbins while you’re strumming on the guitar, wont you.

  9. julietravisaddict says:

    oh Fran such a nice opportunity! I’m sure you will have fun, and I second dear Debbie’s post => hi Debbie! ;)

  10. John says:

    I had to go to LA LA Land to see you last year (it was well worth the it BTW, best show I’ve seen) and now when your in Toronto I will be in LA LA Land go figure. Maybe I can catch you with your clothes on at some point this year. Will you be touring with your solo stuff? Good luck with the tour.

    ROFL! i bought my ticket for Philly this morning. i can’t wait to see u luv! :-) i’ll have my sister in tow. we’re looking forward to hearing the new tunes! if K’Naan isn’t with Keane, i think u should fill in for him. u could do the rap bits. u should propose this idea to Keane. ;-) take care!

  12. Khalil says:

    Keane by God. I love that band like yours jeje
    Enjoy it as much as you can. bye bye

  13. Lila says:

    Looking forward to the first gig in Oakland, CA! Will you be bringing the projection screen and Macbook again? Don’t forget the remote this time ;)
    See you soon!

  14. Daniel Choi says:

    YESSS!! Ur coming back to the Bay Area, Im excited!!!

  15. Gemma says:

    Sadly I will be either impatiently awaiting the overdue arrival of my first born, or will have just not long had him when you’re in California. Ah well, maybe another time when he is a little older. :)

  16. Cali Girl says:

    Yes! Greek Theatre in LA – this means you’ll be with Keane. Such awesome news!

  17. Sharon says:

    Got 6th row tickets to see you & Keane & Ingrid Michaelson at the Greek Theatre in LA! Can’t wait! Will you be doing any solo shows in smaller venues? :)

  18. Meridith says:

    Yes!!! Got my tickets. Looking forward to seeing you and hearing your new music in Las Vegas!

  19. Minnmess says:

    Hey Fran, you wouldnt happen to have any more info on the Toronto date, would you? It isn’t listed on Keane’s website, nor ticketmaster, etc. Perhaps it is in the works?

  20. Melanie says:

    Yay! Ingrid Michaelson is also opening up…what a show!

  21. Mike says:

    keane’s site doesn’t mention Canadian shows…any chance of a Vancouver gig???

  22. K&O says:

    HoB in Dallas! Are we going to catch you playing footie out back again?

  23. F N Gamboa says:

    Hey the print studio where I printed the DuNord poster last year is near by The Fox theatre in Oakland …feel free to drop by cause i bet we’ll be printing..not for that show i’m affraid

  24. Kurt says:

    Hey! There is a Toronto show?! :)
    On Keane’s website, Ticketmaster, and the Molson Amp. website, there is no such event, but is it for sure going on? And when can I get tickets?! :)

  25. sal says:

    YES! Welcome back to Boston! I will be there!

  26. Katy says:

    Very exciting. See you at the Greek Theatre, Fran! May I sing for you again?

  27. Kelly says:

    I’ll be 5th row at the gorgeous Merriweather Post Pavilion. I’ll be the one screaming “I love you, Fran!” next to an embarrassed-looking husband. Actually, he loves you, too, so maybe we’ll both be screaming it.

  28. tracy says:

    Nice, I love Keane too ;) The fans are in for a real treat now!

    Sammy;s comments are very funny! :)

    Although I think I’d pay good money to see that haha!

    Good luck Fran—–enjoy the ‘holiday’, hope to see you soon….

  29. audree says:

    Yay!! Can you do some more shows at the Largo before/after the Keane dates?! That would be awesome!

  30. Candy says:

    finally announced! :) good luck with Wreckorder Fran and come back to Peru soon! don’t forget us besitos! :)

  31. Et says:

    Having seen both Fran Healy and Keane and being a fan of both, this is big for me to see them during the same show in few months in Montreal. The coherence in my musical interests are now confirmed!

  32. Inge says:

    Any gigs of you and Keane in Europe??? You (Travis) and Keane are my favourite bands ever! But America is unfortunately too far! I’m really sad!

  33. James Butler says:

    Hey Fran

    Great news, come to Europe soon ;) Some great little places in Liverpool and Winchester ;)

    Why is the Travis site down?

    James

  34. albert says:

    It will be great seeing you with keane…

  35. Kirstin says:

    I’m not the biggest of Keane fans, but I will totally be going to see them in Philly! Can’t wait!

  36. Emma Haskell says:

    That sounds incredibly exciting! Keane are a top band and I could think of no better support act! :o )

  37. JT says:

    Just got my tickets for Chicago!!! The Chicago Theatre is the most beautiful venue in the city. Can’t Wait!!!

  38. Alan says:

    Wow! Such a surprise. Moved to Dallas from Scotland 5 years ago and booked tickets to see Keane. A huge bonus that you are supporting them. Makes me think of home, cannot wait. Will you be playing any Travis stuff also? Looking forward to hearing the new material. Cheers big man :)

  39. eric says:

    What does your setlist include? Would love it if you published a bit of it on your site. Btw, love The Man Who album (from years ago). Coldplay owes you…..bigtime.

  40. Apple says:

    I knew you’d come back to Minni even after a rude audience member wrecked Driftwood! Can’t wait til Aug 11th!!

  41. Susie says:

    I like Keane, but I usually don’t like them enough to want to see them at a venue like the Greek. HOWEVER, I *luv* Travis, and have been looking forward to hearing the solo record. This is plenty to compel me to head out to the Greek.

  42. mel says:

    I looked around on those ticket selling websites (namely, Ticketmaster), but I can’t quite seem to find the listing for the Toronto show, but I did find a listing for the Quebec around that time. Hopefully it’s just because that was not added yet. Would love to see you perform again in the city! :)

  43. polarlicht says:

    when are you going to show some “solo” love for Europe? especially Sweden?

  44. Justin says:

    Why dont you ever come to St. Louis???? I don’t wanna drive to chicago :(

  45. melissa says:

    It sounds so good Fran! Hope one day we could see u in buenos aires again!

  46. Gina says:

    That’s great Fran… would you like to come to México City? Where can I contact your management?

  47. Julian says:

    A good way to promote your solo-album.. Congratulations!

  48. Nikki says:

    This is so exciting because you and Keane are some of my favorite artists! I think you should come to Seattle especially on the 24th of july because that’s my birthday :D anyway, looking forward to the new album! (:

  49. Amy Humphrey says:

    Poor Keane.

    I hope you’re not growing a beard.

  50. Nora says:

    …you know…we’ll be expecting a strip down now…I mean – we’ll enjoy the music too, of course, but first things first..

    even gonna buy this cannon 5d for that…
