26/02/1980 National Stadium, Dublin, Ireland

This group of concerts includes dates that were not part of the “Come Out To Play Tour”. I have included them just to group things together. This tour remained hidden for many years, I only uncovered it on a trip to the national Library in Dublin., in the late 90’s. Only three of the dates were known. The National Stadium, Garden of Eden & Downtown Kampus concerts. When this tour was first listed in “Hot Press” it had the title of “Tour De France”.
