Hopefully most of you have the new album "Somewhere Else" in you hot little hands already... and from what we've heard from you so far, you're loving it!

If you haven't picked up your copy yet, Townsend Records will still be selling it with the exclusive 3-track live DVD for the remainder of this week ONLY - go to www.townsendrecords.co.uk/marillion before it's too late. Of course you can also head to your local high-street shop to snap one up old-school style (for those in Germany, it will be available from the 13th of April; and for those in North America the 26th of April).

The final rehearsals for the Somewhere Else Tour are now finished - thanks to the recent Marillion Weekend the band have a huge stack of songs ready to play, with plans to change the set nightly on this tour. The last available tickets for most shows are selling fast (several are already sold out) - full details, dates, and ordering info for ALL the shows from www.marillion.com/tour

With the album out and the tour imminent, the band have a LOAD of special appearances, interviews on TV and radio, in-store performances, signing sessions... you name it. We have put up an extensive list of all confirmed events at www.marillion.com/news/events.htm - beginning tonight with a live acoustic performance on the Tom Robinson show on BBC 6 Music www.bbc.co.uk/6music) followed by an interview with H and Pete on Planet Rock Radio (www.planetrock.co.uk)

We'll be seeing you Somewhere Else very soon!
