We are slated to play the festival on Sunday, May 1st. This should coincide with the release of our new CD/DVD and we plan to begin a full Canada/US tour around this time. We will announce more tour dates as they are confirmed.

Please come home, and you know I don't mean Toronto. :-D

Never heard of such Festival. It's good to see the States are getting a taste of their music. Eventhough I live in Nova Scotia, still, everyone should have the advantage to see them. Have fun.

Oh you guys had better get your bums over here to Vancouver at some point :D

Great festival choice for SLOAN to play! I am so excited for the band to get exposure to this market of potential fans. I have been contemplating attending Coachella 2005 since I heard the "rumoured" line-up a couple of months ago. Stick REM on that bill and I would be the happiest girl EVER! My chances of driving from Vancouver to CA for this show just got a whole lot better.

You guys better hit the maritimes!
JJ's Ghost - January 31, 2005 3:55 PM
Yes MKMM.....it's the Coachella festival. Biggest music festival in all of..........ummmmmmmm.......Coachella????
I personally cant wait till they play on the East Coast at the VinnieBarbarino festival! And I might even sneak down south to see them play the Klukluxklanella fetival (its fun to guess who the band is underneath the white hoods they wear while on stage!)
kate - January 31, 2005 4:26 PM
come to winnipeg. we are bored of cold and lack of shows.
that's all i need to say :)
Ryan P - January 31, 2005 4:41 PM
You guys definatly need to consider coming to Guelph sometime this year. Club Denim or The Palace are two good possible venues that your booking agents should look at. Or the Hillside Festival in July would also be an excellent excuse to stop by Guelph on your tour, I know it has featured such great bands as Broken Social Scene and Metric in the past, so why not an even better band like Sloan? Or you could wait to the fall and play right here on campus at the U of G! As for the Coachella Festival, those Californians who have yet to hear of Sloan won't know what hit 'em!
TrueFan - January 31, 2005 6:58 PM
Please play a Toronto show before you go to Coachella guys!!!!! That would be a great kick start for your Greatest Hits release & Tour!
Charlotte - January 31, 2005 8:50 PM
Please play Vancouver sometime after May 1st!!!!!!
Sloan Leavitt - February 1, 2005 12:08 AM
Make sure to hit up Calgary and do one of those amazing shows you tend to do all of the time. So yeah... do it!.. please, or something
Jen - February 1, 2005 1:16 AM
Nice! You guys have been very attentive to your fans in Ottawa, the past two years especially; and I'm just letting you know that we never get bored so please keep us on your list!
Can't wait!!!

so i'm not saying come to a specific place, i'm just saying bring me to you. i'm in california on exchange for a semester at cal state long beach from concordia in montreal and am dying for some can-con (canadian content). i'm on nin's mailing list so i found out about coachella, but, man, is it pricey, and all the cheap motels in the area are sold out that weekend.
how 'bout putting a canadian girl on the guest list? you know you want to...
martha
warren - February 1, 2005 4:19 AM
i hope you guys can make it back to victoria, but if you play vancouver ... i guess that will be close enough!
can't wait to hear the new tunes too!
janice - February 1, 2005 10:41 AM
Thanks to the addition of Sloan, I'll now be attending Coachella. Just one request, guys: can you wear shorts so there's no repeat of what I'm assuming was heat exhaustion at ACL?
Plus, it'd be nice to see some Sloan legs.
melissa - February 1, 2005 2:00 PM
ahhhhhhhh YES!!!!!
just PLEEEEEZE play NY for 2 nights!!!
it would suck for me to not make it because of graduation and hell i need to get out of college!!
hugs and kisses

John - February 2, 2005 1:35 PM
i heard weezer's on that bill
Andrew - February 2, 2005 3:27 PM
yes they are
Danny - February 2, 2005 4:32 PM
Rhode Island wants some Sloan... stop by here sometime on your tour. That'd be quite awesome.
Steve - February 2, 2005 11:00 PM
I know Ohio is your favorite state...please come back soon!
Marc - February 3, 2005 12:38 AM
aaah... seeing Weezer on the sloan site... I don't know if you guys know eachother.. but if there was a sloan/weezer show in Toronto I'd be thoroughly pleased... mmm I can see it now... Keep up the good work guys!
Steve F. - February 3, 2005 2:11 PM
Please Come Back to Nova Scotia. Last time you were here was the single greatest show of my life.
heather - February 3, 2005 4:55 PM
a chance for the faithful sloan-loving contingent in LA to catch a rare sighting! i went to this fest last year, and it was good, but there was a serious lack of sloan, that's for sure. seeing sloan will make sitting around in the sun all day (on the scratchy grass surrounded by hippies) worth the wait.
Jason - February 4, 2005 7:44 AM
looking forward to hearing about a San Francisco show a day or two earlier...! :)
Morrigan - February 4, 2005 12:31 PM
Bravo, another San Francisco Sloan fan! Ditto Jason's comment - we're just a short jaunt away, and FAR more scintillating than Indio, CA.
Melissa - February 5, 2005 2:11 PM
That would be aweeeeesome if Sloan and Weezer played some shows together. I have loved Weezer since I was 11 (1994...I feel so old!)...and ironically I brought a DGC Rarities collection around that time because it had a rare Weezer song on it...and there was Sloan only a few tracks down. Coincidence? I think not!! (I don't know wtf I mean by that either)

mary - February 5, 2005 10:31 PM
come back to cape breton, please?
Jennifer Leduc - February 6, 2005 11:59 AM
I was thinking of going to this festival because of a few other bands on the lineup but when I saw that Sloan was also included, that just clinched for me ! :-)
I keep seeing the band when it's 100F outside...what's up with that ? LOL
Take care of yourselves in that heat, boys....don't wear black and drink lots of water, alright ? ;-)
Joe - February 7, 2005 8:16 AM
I still would like the lad's to come to Connecticut, or at least closer to CT. I don't mind travelling to see them, but when I do that, we're all in seperate car's.
I "heart" Patrick - February 7, 2005 9:34 PM
Patrick wearing black in the hot sun?
Damn I should hitch a ride to this thing!
Andy - February 9, 2005 4:53 PM
We need Sloan in Florida!!!!!!
miguel - February 11, 2005 5:39 AM
Yeah! Come back to San Francisco - there was such a big Sloan presence in the crowd last July...but no more opening up for other bands! We want you for the entire night (or 2)! I would die to see you guys in one of the city's smaller venues...
I'll defiinitely drive down to Coachella for you either way!
Rob Bachman - February 12, 2005 1:44 PM
PLease oh please come back to Winnipeg, I have caught 3 of your shows at the peg and I would love to catch another when you guys come around again. The Peg loves Sloan!!!!
kary - February 12, 2005 2:01 PM
hola
Soy de Mexicali, y mi marido y yo fuimos a este evento el año pasado, y estuvo fantassssstico un solo dia y hoy queremos volver a ir, ojala y se puedaaaaaa pero por los dos dias byeeeee.
Bags - February 14, 2005 5:11 PM
While I'm not hitting Coachella, I will be sure to see Sloan multiple times on the tour -- lots of east coast U.S. dates, please. I'll have loads of friends with me, who will all go home chanting, "Sloooooooo-----aaaaaaannnn"
Yippee
Melissa - February 17, 2005 11:11 AM
Connecticut is kind of far from wherever Sloan seems to be playing. They seem to have quite a few fans there. A lot of people I met at the second Bowery show were from Conneticut and I could imagine it a bit of a trip.
Melissa
Ps...More tour dates announced pleeeeze lol I don't get any work done because I keep checking the site :)
ek - February 17, 2005 9:41 PM
Please come back to Buffalo this year! We love you here more than anywhere else...(except maybe halifax)
I "heart" Patrick - February 17, 2005 11:21 PM
I'm need more SLOAN!!! Coachella sounds great but I can't wait to see you play:
- The Kee to Bala
- Windsor
- Toronto
Peter Collins - February 22, 2005 6:55 PM
hi,i live in new brunswick,canada! i'm a big Sloan fan,i hope Sloan come to the maritimes!u guys ROCK!!!
Will - February 23, 2005 7:11 PM
Hey guys, you guys rocked out at the Detroit show in May of last year, we love you here, even though it's mostly people from Canada that come from across the bridge. Make sure you guys make a pit stop at Detroit, and I'm gonna get some pictures and 'graphs this time too. HAVE FUN IN CALI!
Will
