 They still have yet to play Cleveland, but some of these cities have seen them twice-not fair!!!!!!!!!!! I hope they add more

[Naupis]

Eric.

I am with you on Cleveland. For some reason they absolutely refuse to come to town. I had to drive to Cincinatti to see them in November. I wish I knew what they had against Cleveland as I would like to see them again but don't want to have to drive 4 hours again to do so.

[noonespecial]

NY but no Philly....

[Acquiesce]

I hope they add a Philly date.

[Cornell]

Yay!  A Rochester date!    Hmmm - maybe I'll take my hubby this time as he's a Slash fan. 

[EricaLyn087]

Where in New York City do you think they'll play??

[billsguy]

same on cleveland, i drove to detroit to see them at the state theater, which was amazing, but I don't understand it.  Cinci, Cleveland, Columbus and/or Dayton are usually hit by most bands on a national tour...

[Eric]

I went to State Theater as well, not a bad drive, but drove to Totonto-too long of a drive-it's funny, there are several venues here in Cleveland-Convocation center would seem perfect-I know a lot of people who want to see them, but are not die hard enough like me to make a drive out of town, which I understand-I really thought they would swing by here, but I know sometimes they add dates, like they are now overseas-they add dates here and there-we'll see.

Giving arenas a go, huh?

I wish the boys luck but I gotta say it's a bit ambitious and probably a huge mistake...

Why is it a mistake?

It's not as though they're jumping to playing stadiums, and these guys do seem to have quite a large following.

I just wish they'd change up their setlist a little, it's good that they've added some songs recently, but they should vary it a little more.

[Jizzo]

i doubt thats the entire tour, there will be more shows

Depends on who they tour with too. If they can get QOTSA on board, then it might be a good idea.

One of the guys in the band, I forget who had said something about a Jet, QTSA type of tour. If that's the case it is definitely a good idea as I think they could get enough fans to make it work. Otherwise, it's going to come off making the band look bad playing to less than half filled arenas.

Why is it a mistake?

These are 20,000 seaters they're playing here stateside, not many rock bands these days can fill that size of venue in the US.  None outside of nostalgic acts at least...

I have an inherent dislike for arena rock shows in general, just no vibe or intimacy...

[tomass74]

I like them around 10,000 max indoors... But outdoors a Great Woods show would kick ass this year.. That would be good for some tailgating...

[D]

do any websites have any presale packages?

where u join and order presale before it hits general public?


that atlanta show looks cool in april

im only bout 4 hours away

[Eric]

This tour has not been officially announced-until it is, there won't be any pre-sale

[tomass74]

I used the pre-sale for the Manchester NH show and got shitty seats on the side of the stage..Im own my own next time..

Who says they have to fill the arenas in order to play there?

Ever seen a concert in an arena where they put the stage in the middle?
