MANU CHAO Announces 2011 U.S. Tour

Man oh man, I really can't tell you how exciting this is for me!!! I got the notice on Friday that Manu was announcing a US tour on Monday and all weekend I was just hoping that NY would be a part of it...and thank god, yes it is!! I'm extra happy to see that he has two shows in NY and they are at Terminal 5. thank god, I can just chill on the balcony instead of being in the crowd. Last time I was at his last NY show in Brooklyn, I was stuck in between two mosh pits...I know his music gets you hype but I can't deal with the mosh pits...especially because they really violent ones that time...I remember being right in the front of the stage and next thing you know I was like behind like 15 people...lol...

anyways, Ive been waiting since 2007 for Manu to come back...and I'm soooo excited that I think I might go to both NY shows!!! The only thing that sucks is that its the day after Rock the Bells, which is draining...I usually need like 2 days to recover from that Fest each year...either way there is noooo way I'm missing Manuskiiiis...Manu is in my top 5 artists alive...I would even go as far as saying #1!!!
