THERE’S NO TIME TO STOP

You know we can’t stand still for long, so we’re planning an awesome run of dates throughout December.

We’ll start in Poland before moving on to Germany and hitting some of our old friends in England, finally finishing up in Ireland and the party town that is Dublin. And because no festive season is festive enough without a little GB, we’re hitting our good friends on east coast USA for a short run. Familia in Philadelphia and New York City, heads up on that! Come ring in 2015 with us!

We know a lot of our friends in NYC like to spend real quality time with us, so we have a special 2-night pass on offer for both our shows at Terminal 5. You can get that right now through our pre-sale page.

In the meantime, we’re visiting a few fests – Riotfest in Denver and Chicago, and Shindig in Baltimore – as well as supporting Pixies in Los Angeles. Oh, and this is super important: brand new dates have just been announced in Houston and Austin, TX. We keep hearing cries from our friends in Texas to pay another visit, so we expect to see you all there! The Houston show is on Halloween – the perfect excuse for a party!

Pre-sale for all the US dates is closing TOMORROW (Friday September 5th), so there isn’t much time to waste. After that general sale is open to all comers. You can find all the dates and all the ticket links on our Tour page. The password for the pre-sale is PURAVIDA – pass it on!

We’ll be seeing you soon, friends…

Now, where have you been all my life?

It’s been a while since we shared a video for one of our songs… too long, right? If you agree, you need to check out this brand new promo for ‘My Gypsy Auto Pilot’ pronto.

Filmed throughout April, May and June this year, we think it gives a real flavor of the Gogol Bordello live experience. And if you went to any of those shows in Vegas, Colorado and throughout Europe, you might even spot yourself in the crowd!

Didn’t catch a show yet but feeling all inspired by this promo? We have a whole host of goodies for you over at the Tour Dates page. Maybe we’ll see you on the front row soon…

Either way, enjoy the familia vibes.

$5 MAY SALE ON MERCH

We’re runnin a special promotion on our merchandise right now, with a bunch of shirts and accessories going for only 5 bucks a piece. If you’re not head to toe in GB wear, now’s your chance to rectify this! Spread the word, friends – everything must go!

And don’t forget we are hitting the bricks once more starting this week: first Europe, then back to Canada and the USA, and then a little more Europe for good measure. Check the listings for your closest show… we’ll see you very soon!


Heads up, people: we’re coming your way!

It’s all happening in our tour schedule right now. We’re planning a crazy summer of shows and hitting as many towns and countries as physically possible.

This week we’re hitting Colorado twice and then heading back to Vegas for another back-to-back party weekend. Then it’s on to Greece and Turkey, and a little make-up session with the places we had to cancel on in March. Our friends in Russia and Ukraine, please be patient: we’ll announce rescheduled shows there as soon as we can, but it’s not easy right now. We have not forgotten you!

This is important: we had to cancel our show in Herford, Germany and move the two in Milan and Ljubljana. We’re sorry to our fans in Herford, but it could not be avoided. If you’re coming to the Milan/Ljubljana shows, check the tour schedule for new dates.

We’ll be in Europe thru May and June, before heading back to Canada and the USA for a run through the northeast. And right after that it’s the European festival season.

Like we said, it’s all happening. Find out when we’ll be hitting your city here: http://www.gogolbordello.com/tour

If yours isn’t listed right now, stay tuned: more gigs are being added every week. In fact, we just added another show in Luxembourg today!

See you soon…

Your friends,
Gogol Bordello

March Tour Cancelled

We are sad to say that brother Pedro has broken his arm and we need to cancel the March tour. Pedro is expected to make a full recovery but is under strict doctor’s orders that he cannot perform until April. Ticket refunds will be issued to all ticket holders at the original point of purchase. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes our fans and we hope to reschedule this tour soon.


Ukraine: not an outskirt but a centre


This new slogan in support of peaceful Kiev Maidan on my tour guitar in translation literally means: “Ukraine, not an outskirt but a centre.” But full meaning of it comes through only in Ukrainian: “Ukraine is not an outskirt as it is romoured to be, but a centre of new rising consciousness.” Yes, paradoxiacally, “Ukraine”, which is historically and geographically the origin of Russia (see Kievan Rus state), literally means “far corner, or an outskirt”. This confusion perhaps will get straightened out now as people of Ukraine r putting themselves in the avanguarde of positive political consciousness. Is there even a one person who has not been impressed with such a tremendous peaceful actions of Kiev Maidan people and their delicate organization!

Word “Okraina”(outskirt) indeed exists in russians… however it is equally well understood as an “outskirt” by ukrainians, even though it is not part of ukrainian standard official vocabulary. Simply because both languages are closely related and indeed come from the same “drevne-slavjansky”(old east slavic) language. Consequently the compartmentalization of the words and their exact storage adress is entirely artificial and has no real life basis.
