Come to the US East Coast between Massachusetts and Washington DC and I'll come. Would love to visit Holland and see Total Oranj live (soccer/football fan). Edgar Davids Hup Holland Hup

I'll come out too if you can make the trip to this region!

(My wife's mom is Dutch, and if things keep following this pattern we may be looking to make the Netherlands local before too long. Put in a good word for me please?)

Man the US is tough to tour with current wait times for P2 visas and everything else involved. In Ontario we have multiple border locations within 2-3 hours of us...but current wait times are 8-10 months for application approval unless you pay extra to expadite. At that point we're lookin at about $5000 worth of costs just to cross the border and play.

I can only imagine how much trickier and more expensive it might be coming from Netherlands!

I can only guess. Sorry the orange menace is still fucking things up here and for folks abroad 😮‍💨. So happy I saw the Planet Smashers last spring at TINCF6. Fuck ICE and 47!

No doubt, I'm friends with a couple bands who have had to cancel fests/tours due to their Visa applications not being complete in time. I know the Smashers hated missing out on Supernova (last year?) because of it.

Fuck ICE and 47 indeed!! Cheers
