Starsailor Message Board

['Boo]

This topic, which is mirrored in two places on the message board, as an announcement at the top of each of the FAQ and Anything forums, will serve as a news summary of all on-going Starsailor events scheduled.

I'll update it with all new items announced and remove events shortly after they pass. New items will be indicated with ~ NEW ~ and any events where we post subsequent information, or details change, will be noted thus: ~ Details updated ~ and if appropriate, the specifics of the change, highlighted.

The date of the latest version of this information is indicated in the subject line.


Starsailor are Back!

Starsailor are delighted to announce that after the much publicised takeover of their record company, they now have a new record label (Virgin) and a whole new team of people working to promote our fourth record. It will be called 'All The Plans' and will be released on the 9th March 2009. It will be preceded by a single, 'Tell Me It's Not Over,' to be released on Monday 2nd March 2009. ~ Details updated ~

Starsailor appearances are only announced on the band's official web site at http://www.starsailor.net in the news and calendar sections and on the message board, when fully confirmed by the band's manager or agent. Until such time, even if you see the events outlined elsewhere, they cannot be considered confirmed by the band. If you choose to buy tickets before they are confirmed by a member of Starsailor's team here on the site, you must do so at your own risk and with this understanding. We make no apology for protecting fans by ensuring that we supply you only with the most up to date and reliable information. Confirmed news is posted very promptly as soon as it is known.
