Hello, Hole fans. After a lot of hard work, I’ve finally (mostly) completed the transcripts & bootleg guide projects. Next, I’ll be focusing on Courtney & Melissa’s solo tours after Hole. I also have some newspaper articles about Eric & Patty’s other projects that I’ll be posting soon. For today, please enjoy this new content about Hole’s tours of Europe and Canada in 1999. Thanks to @courtneylove.tv on Instagram for helping me with French translations.

There are a few other things from 1995 that I’ve added as well. This will be the last update for 2025. I hope you all have a good winter & holiday season – and remember to come back to the site in January, because I have big plans for next year. Here’s what will be added in 2026: Celebrity Skin tour transcripts, CS tour bootleg info, and Photos/Reviews/Setlists for Courtney & Melissa’s tours after 1999!

If you haven’t heard the news, we’re anticipating the release of Courtney’s documentary, Antiheroine, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22. That will be followed by Melissa’s memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A 90s Rock Memoir, hitting shelves on March 17. The book is already available for pre-order.
