Just got an email from Damien Rice.com confirming.

Damo - Wembley?

Mmmm. Mixed feelings about that one.

... not if he plays a rockier set maybe, which, in all likelihood will be the case. It could be quite a different DR experience.

he'd want to.
don't think i'll even try for tickets for any of these gigs.

and where the (any) irish dates???
he's testing my nerves

Sorry to be such a doubter, but can Damien really sell enough tickets to fill Wembley?

Im not sure, but is there a wembley area and a wembley stadium as two seperate things. Im guessing the arena is much smaller than the stadium.

Damien will play the Wembley Arena which is a 12,000 places venue

12,000 are we even serious? i mean, 12,000 seats are expected to be filled! honestly, I just don't hold that much faith in humankind to expect that so many could appreciate Damien's music. I'm so glad he plays at the Orpheum in LA

venues make a big difference and I truly think that it will be difficult for him to be intimate in such a huge venue.

I was at his Orpheum gig in LA on Dec 8th and I was getting pissed at all the people talking! I can't imagine what it will be like with ten times the amount of people! :/

he's sold over a million alone in the uk though hasnt he?

worst damien experience was seeing him play oxegen a few years back with 20,000 people drunken singing along. i try to wipe it from my memory but it was so horrible
