IQ
(UK) / May 16, 2004

Good news for those who pre-ordered their copy of IQ's brand new album "Dark Matter". The CDs have been delivered to Giant Electric Pea Records and we are trying to post as many copies as possible before starting the tour. If you haven't ordered your copy yet, make sure you pick one up at one of the European shows or place your mail order with the online form. Shipping of the CDs will continue after the European Tour.

Changed Tour Schedule: Due to circumstances beyond our control, both the Madrid and the Barcelona shows on the upcoming European Dark Mattour 2004 tour have been cancelled. When we announced that the Barcelona show was cancelled last week, we knew there was a possibility that the Madrid show may have to also be postponed. In this past week we have explored every possible avenue to try and enable us to keep the date in Madrid. However, we have not been able to achieve this and unfortunately the show will not go ahead. We would like to sincerely apologise to our Spanish fans and would like to assure you that when we tour Europe next year, Spain will be top of the agenda. The gap left by the cancellation of these two gigs has been (partially) filled with an extra show in Holland at De Kade, Zaandam on the 19th of May. The fully updated tour schedule can be found below.

14.05.04 - De Boerderij - Zoetermeer - Holland
