Strange, because the Metro seem to know nothing about this second show, one day before tickets are meant to go on sale...
Hey Anonymous,
Very strange from our end now too, 'cause there's now no mention of it on the Michael Coppel website. The official announce came through from them...

Okay, the latest I've heard is that everyone (promoters, band, venue) want it to happen, but are looking at the feasibility or something. So there's hope!
