R.E.M. TOUR 2008 SITE LAUNCHED

Please be sure to visit our new Tour Site where you can post content from each of the shows, including photos, video, blogs, and tweets. The concept is similar to that of remdublin.com where many R.E.M. fans interacted with each other via the social web site during the band’s five-night stand at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, last summer.
