Just got of the homepage that was selling tickets for the Hamburg concert and it now states that the concert is cancelled.I am not sure about the other 2 dates as I did not look.Gutted is all I can say.
I have just translated a German site saying that the Rats had to cancel the 20 January gig in Hamburg, 'because they are in the middle of work for a new album'. Hope this helps.
This is the translation from Online Focus Hamburg: (Google Translation)

In their most famous song, The Boomtown Rats around front man Bob Geldof claim "I Do not Like Mondays". It seems like they do not like unfinished records either.
Because, as the band informs, they are in the middle of the work for their new album - so the musicians can not play the concert in the sports hall on January 20.
Bitter: The show should have taken place last March but was postponed because of "internal planning conflicts". Now there is no new appointment and tickets can be returned to the ticket agencies. Let's hope that at least the album will be finished.

If that is the case I guess Frankfurt won't be happening either. (though it remains on sale) Even in that translation I can detect the cynicism!
FWIW My belief is poor ticket sales are the root cause...

Would be nice if the Rats page on fb would tell us whats happening.NOTHING HAPPENED TODAY seems to happen a lot lately.
I doubt they would know anymore than is on the internet. Always found it a puzzling page myself. Just seems to post snippets of lyrics of songs and gets umpteen comments and likes.

Tell me, why?
(no - please don't)
Those random lyrics just seem to be generated by computer. You'd have gotten more info by writing in to the fanclub back in the Seventies,and waiting a month for a reply!

I never joined the fan ckub but they were nice enough to sort out the inner sleeve of my Boomtown Rats LP which I didn't get when I purchased it. Shame I never got or knew of the Silent Night flexi disc at the time.
I totally agree with you mark they seem to be faffing about a bit with this so called new album just hope it goes ahead and not vanish into oblivion as with past things
I just pasted it into google translation.
