Yes! There will be a new Kent album on spring called Du&Jag döden. There will be 13 concerts in Sweden, one in Norway and one in Finland. I will definetly go Helsinki concert. Btw, all concert will be on “tent”, which sound pretty intresting. Capacity of Helsinki concert is 10 000.

From Kent.nu, Aftonbladet, Expressen...Here for example http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,561835,00.html Cool!

Excellent, I feel the need for another trip to Sweden next summer! :)

i wish this album sounds like isola, maybe hagnesta hill, but not v&a...
i wish that kent gives us something more than just few weak pop-based songs...
could somebody translate the tittle?

I think its ’you and I died’, i cannot be bothered to look up all the tenses/ways to congugate the verb ’to die’....think I’m correct. all the best, oam//

That’s so great! Does anyone know how much the tickets will cost in Helsinki?
ally77 said on December 20, 2004 18:32:
Whoops, ignore that, I see they are... ermmm I think I shall give ticnet a call, and get a ticket! :)
Mari said on December 20, 2004 19:54:
The date for Helsinki concert has changed. New date is 17.6. Still no information about tickets or concertplace.
Mari said on February 12, 2005 21:26:
So...what do you think about Max500? It’s ok, but not the best Kent song.
Tickets to Helsinki concert costs 39€ and the concertplace is Ravis, Helsinki.

Just saw the ad for the Finland gig...Hmm...Really have to think...Are they really _that_ big to have such a great concert??? *think it’s gonna end up more than un-sold out*
Mari said on February 13, 2005 00:45:
Hm, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be sold out. Kent has sold in Finland about 80 000 albums. Latest one, Vapen&Ammuniton sold over 30 000. And so far every concert has been sold-out.
Btw, the concertplace is great. About 800 meters from my home :D
animalkingdom said on February 13, 2005 09:54:
Well ok...In comparison Roxette have sold way over 300 000 albums in Finland and they didn’t manage to sell out Hartwall...
Just have to ask - Kent’s music might sell but what makes them _so_ interesting that thousands of people will go to a concert to see them?
Mari said on February 13, 2005 12:39:
Yeah, that’s true, but Roxette isn’t “cool” band here like Kent is. And so far all the Kent concerts has been sold out. But well, we’ll see.
miulatz said on February 13, 2005 15:45:
Hmmm.. what and where exactly in Helsinki is this Ravis? Never heard of it before..
Mari said on February 13, 2005 16:57:
Ravis is in Käpylä. It’s a big sportpark with many football fields near Faircentre and Hartwall Areena.

What I think about Max 500?
It´s a GREAT song, and my absolute favorite song these days. Kent is the best swedish band, next after GT & Rox of course. I´m really looking forward to the tour, and I guess I´ll go see them in Norway (after all that´s where I live).
And by the way, are there any others here who are going to the Kent-concert in Norway???
Mari said on February 16, 2005 08:39:
Wow, Max 500 sounds really great on radio! They playing the song really often on the Finnish radio.
KungAvSand said on February 17, 2005 18:30:
The single actually went straight to #2 on the norwegian single-chart this week. A bit surprising, but pleasant. After all, it´s a really good song.
Mari said on March 12, 2005 11:45:
What do you think about the cover? I think it’s kinda awful...Btw, Helsinki concert for 10 000 people is sold-out!
Santi said on March 12, 2005 12:04:
Well, it matches the title, but it is a bit creepy. I have noticed that the skeleton has very long legs :D
I do not really like it, but it is not so bad either.
LaMan said on March 12, 2005 17:39:
I really like their English versions... I know some people dont.
If You Were Here (or something) is fantastic.
animalkingdom said on March 12, 2005 22:24:
That new song is so moody! To think of it, all of their singles are more or less...
Anyway, they should really try to get out of their “dark winter up in the north” -styled videos.
And how rude was the video for one of their tracks that totally ripped off Wish I Could Fly? (the search light theme)... ;)
KungAvSand said on March 13, 2005 20:09:
I think the cover matches the title perfectly. Creepy? Yes, but that´s the point.
Those of you who have bought the single Max 500 have most likely seen that the CD is black on both sides. Practically everything on that single is black. I guess that´s Kent´s way to make a point - du & jag döden!
Jackeill said on March 14, 2005 12:06:
i’ve heard the album. i can’t say i like it, it’s better than v&a though. arrangements are fine, but there aro no those great melodies, which kent was used to write. don’t know what to say, have to listen to it a few times more... definitely it’s not as good as isola, which i mean is the best kent album, and one of the best albums ever.
Kiwein1 said on April 23, 2005 19:02:
Is someone about to join the tour? I am seriously planning going to Malmö! The new album is extremely good!! Love it! Especially Palace&Main and Klåparen. GREAT!
ally77 said on April 23, 2005 20:54:
Well I will be in Gothenburg on 20/05 and was thinking of going to Norrköping for the concert on the 21st! :) not sure if tickets are still availble but there will always be a ticket tout around....
Anyone give me an idication on how long it would take to get to Norrköping from Gothenburg...
*edit* Just checked not that far at all! :)
*edit* Oh and there are still tickets - brain works overtime... :)
Kiwein1 said on April 24, 2005 08:29:
The ticket thing isn’t my problem either - just the amount of money I would have to spend to get there.. :( And I REALLY want to see them live..damn.
ally77 said on April 24, 2005 11:25:
I think I have been a Kent fan for around 4 years now and would love to see them live...
Kiwein1 said on April 29, 2005 15:41:
Finally..I have decided not to go and I am pretty sad, but there’s no other way.. :(
Well, is someone out there who would mind to get me a shirt anyway? I’d pay in advance, of course..
ally77 said on April 30, 2005 13:13:
My trip to see Kent all depends on if my friend is well enough to come to Sweden!
We are booked to go on 20/05 for 3 nights to Gothenburg and are planning on going to Halmstad on 21/05... however she ain’t been well so if she cannot go I will head up for the Saturday Kent concert instead and catch that!
Mari said on May 1, 2005 07:47:
Thank god, I don’t have to plan any concert trip. Kent concert is less than 800 meters from my home :)
Kiwein1 said on May 1, 2005 07:54:
Lucky girl!
I’d do anything to go, but I can’t afford it this year. It’s a pity and I will be sorry about it, but I can’t change it. All I want is a shirt. :)
ally77 said on May 26, 2005 17:58:
I didn’t make the Kent tour, but I read the article in the weekend papers on the Malmo concert date... :) I love the pictures on the new album cover, creepy but nice and the little man remind of that thing from LOTR’S!
I like the choice for the second single...Palace & Main
on_a_mission said on May 26, 2005 18:32:
I went to Malmö, it was excellent. Kent are an amazing band.
Mari said on June 1, 2005 07:28:
No hope for Kent DVD. I asked about DVD and Harri Mänty told me that ” we make music albums, not DVDs.”
Kiwein1 said on June 1, 2005 21:06:
A live CD would be great as well. Palace&Main was my first favourite, now I am desperately in love with Klåparen. :X
Mari said on June 17, 2005 20:17:
Wow! Kent’s concert today was soo amazing! 12 000 people, warm evening and Kent, just perfect. Om du var här was the best song tonight, also the new ones were great. And Sami Sirviö is so cool with his guitar.
ally77 said on June 18, 2005 16:17:
I am so hooked on the new album! I have not stopped playing it since I bought it!
Mari said on June 18, 2005 21:45:
New album is okey, but new songs sounds much better as live, especially Palace&Main and 400 slag. M is also great live song. As far as I know M has been played live only yesterday in Helsinki. I hope the rumours about club tour are true.
LaMan said on June 18, 2005 21:50:
I like Om Du Var Har in English. The same with Musik Non Stop in English.
ally77 said on June 19, 2005 01:06:
@ LaMan OMG! you like something else other than Roxette.... jesus, is that not against your principals...
ally77 said on September 16, 2005 19:43:
Has anyone in Sweden heard if there will be a DVD release of the tour, it woul be so cool if there was!
