According to this pretty decent article in Reuters, The Specials' mini US tour in April will commence with an appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on April 13. In addition to their performances at the Coachella Festival on April 16 and Terminal 5 in NYC on April 21, The Specials will be playing two more North American gigs yet to be announced--and a full U.S. tour may be in the offering later in 2010!
The Reuters' piece provides a pretty good summary of The Specials' career (and the Jerry Dammers situation), but weirdly claims that the band inspired the Go-Go's! (There is certainly a connection between the bands: some of the Go-Go's were back-up singers on The Specials' debut album and More Specials, but the Go-Go's roots were in the LA punk rock scene and they formed not too long after The Specials did...and they sure ain't ska).

The ticketmaster and Bowery presents pages are offline so either something happened with the tour, it was announced prematurely, or something... hmm
Tix go on sale Friday, so maybe they just haven't put all the info up yet...hope there isn't a big problem (I've heard it suggested that Neville may have trouble entering the US for some past offense).
Yeah not sure, the AM EX pre-sale was suppose to be today but that didn't happen. I hope that part isn't true and Neville can get into the States. Stupid USA
Yikes. I didn't know that the AmEx pre-sale was supposed to be today. That is troubling. Wonder what is up?
I hope Neville does work something out with the authorities IF there is an issue.
I was so confused and bummed this morning when i went to buy my tickets at exactly 11am and all proof of this show existed was erased from the internet...
