AUGUST 2000
August 31, 2000: UK Promotion postponed
from NDIFC

"We reported earlier that No Doubt would come to the U.K. in mid september for some possible promotion. Unfortunataly the band has been to busy to fit that trip into their schedule, so it has been postponed for now. Please be patient with us, because we are pretty sure that No Doubt will come around to Europe sometimes next year with a major tour. Keep checking back here for details. We will let you know as soon as we hear something new

The US tour in Nov/Dec is not set yet. It's still in the works, according to their management"

August 30, 2000: Finally!

This site has made it! It is now on the official links page, under International Fanpages, right under the No Doubt International Fanclub! It made me feel really good when I first saw it.

Webcast:

Another webcast that isn't going to take place. As scheduled on my
Appearances page there should be a Farmclub.com webcast with No Doubt performing tonight. But when I looked at the Farmclub website it stated that it's webcast schedule hasn't been announced yet, that the webcasts are coming soon. It had a picture of No Doubt on the webcast page however, so it might take place in the future. Sorry for the misleading information...
