Due to their drummer Matt Tong suffering a collapsed lung, Bloc Party has dropped off the bill which had them supporting Panic! At the Disco. Bloc Party's sophomore album, A Weekend in the City, is due Feb. 6 via Vice.

Filling in for the band will be Hollywood Records act Plain White T's who will finish out the tour in their place.

the plain white t's took over the number 1 worst band spot formerly held by creed. i'm hearing talk of people trying to get refunds. if that doesn't work i'm sure some 14 year olds will buy your tickets.

Fans of Panic! at The Disco are ambivalent.

skaboom (November 14, 2006)

Come on guys, it's Panic at the Disco. You don't need to be all polite and fake an excuse to drop off the tour. We'd all understand if you just up and left.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

10,000 kids isnt punk

collapsed lung = taking it for the team to get off a HORRIBLE tour
this tour wasn't right from the beginning.... "arrrfff?"

Someone (November 14, 2006)

so what does everybody think of the brand new cd now that it's leaked?

Someone (November 14, 2006)

anyone that has taken the time to listen to it is a loser.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

couldn't agree withyou more.

skaboom (November 14, 2006)

Unlike people that waste their lives on a message board anonymously insulting people with genuine questions.

fritobandito (November 14, 2006)

it is the best pop rock album of the year. period. Degausser fucking kills me. I fully endorse the purchasing of this album. it utterly blows my mind how much I like this album, I was NOT expecting much out of it above mediocrity, but...uh, damn. I guess I'll have to sacrifice some punk points.

SalsaShark (November 14, 2006)

I love Brand New. That's what I think.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

where can i get it?

SalsaShark (November 14, 2006)

Post your AIM name here, I'll get it to you.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

what cd are you talking about? a lot of brand new cds have have leaked.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

I think it's safe to say Bloc Party are the real winners here, yes?

Someone (November 14, 2006)

I'd collapse my own lung to get off this tour.

vjonnyv (November 14, 2006)

This tour just got horrific.

gedgeispunk (November 14, 2006)

What a rip! Bloc Party is one of the best bands out there and Plain White T's are bottom of the barrell Jimmy Eat World wanna be's. Kids rise up and demand another replacement!!! You are being screwed.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

hope he recovers, bloc party's drummer is one of the best in music. he's fucking sick (literally and figuratively)

Someone (November 14, 2006)

best in music if by "music" you mean 10 bands tops. not knocking the guy but come on.

TrueBeliever (November 14, 2006)

I really enjoyed Silent Alarm, but I felt that their drumming was the bands weakest imput, maybe it's just me.

Someone (November 14, 2006)

Has anyone heard the new record yet... if so what are your thoughts?

Someone (November 14, 2006)

I'd collapse anything to get off a tour with Disco PANIC!

Someone (November 14, 2006)

Good, a gay band like plain white t's should fit this shitty tour perfectly

Someone (November 15, 2006)

Panic! at the disco are fucking AMAZING! so stop bagging them!

The Panic! at the disco guys have worked really hard, to get where they are! so back off!!!!

MsLauraUrie (November 19, 2006)
