On Monday he said in a Facebook post “I’m still unable to give any concrete details about Dig It Up Tour yet (FEEL Presents would kill me if I did)”.

Now the dates are out:

Dave said today, “Last year’s Dig It Up! was such an incredible event that our only concern was what could we possibly do to match it? We had no intention of doing anything unless we could maintain the same standard, with that standard being rock ‘n’ roll perfection. Well, I can confidently state that this year’s line-up will live up to everyone’s high expectations. There were a lot of people kicking themselves afterwards for not going last year because everyone who went said it was the gig of the year. I confidently predict Dig It Up! 2013 will be the gig of the year THIS year. ”
