You could be refering to me. I got an email from someone who handles
the booking for at least one artist on the tour. I had heard from
several people other than this person that the tour was in fact not
happening.
 
I did get some confirmation that some of the people that were
initially listed as doing the tour were only doing the event at the
WMC. 

I also heard that some of the dates were cancelled because some rave
promoters had backed out. 

I heard the LA show was for certain, but the line up seems shakey from
what I heard. The tour may in fact happen but it doesn't look like it
will have the stellar line up that was originally posted. I heard that
Optical isn't on the tour, and neither is Technical Itch/Decoder. I'm
not sure if Dom & Roland is going to be on it, if so definitely check
him out!

That kind of supports what i have heard

Well the website was pretty misleading then (at least at the time I
viewed it). I heard that it keeps getting updated, but I haven't gone
back to check.

Ed Rush is really good! I have no interest in 1.8.7. Call me a
skeptic, but I think the line up will end up being kind of weak. I
hope I am wrong.
